Hi all! I work in a very friendly but also very professional law firm. My boss is lovely but he can be difficult some times due to mood swings but he's alright most of the times. And I must admit that I've got this platonic crush on him (he doesn't know and I hide it very well although I can be more chatty and lovely to him compared to the other colleagues).
He speaks my mother tongue as a second language (he's a bit rusty) and usually I communicate with him in my language but he always speaks English to me.
Today we were exchanging emails and he replied in my mother tongue. Later he came over to my desk asking if what he said was right so I pointed his mistakes and a very subtle change and I said the way he wrote made him look "cute". I hesitated to say that but he asked "makes me sound what?" And then I lowered my voice and said "cute" so no one else could hear. He asked "what?" And I repeated "cute". I said my boss sounds cute omg!!!! But he did sound indeed and he is all cute specially getting all shy because of my comment. He giggled and left with a big smile.
Do you think it's a big deal? I wonder if he thinks I'm flirting with him and now I'm trying to put a really serious face to balance this out.
