Hello! (26M here) Naa koy weird situation sa akong work and I really need your advice. I’m working in a BPO, and akong QA (32F) seems to be getting too close.

Quick backstory: We’re from the same wave. During training, we were seatmates and got along really well. She looks super young and mura’g half-Korean (tbh, I was attracted at first). Honestly, she doesn’t even look like she’s given birth, but I later found out she’s already a mom with two kids.

No biggie though; we share similar interests—K-dramas, anime, and food trips. Friendship lang gyud. After 6 months, she got promoted to QA since she had more experience. At that time, dili man siya akong QA, so there was no issue.

But recently, she became my QA, and things have started to feel uncomfortable. She always asks for my chats or cases to review, and I always get a perfect 100%. Sige kog ingon random lang, but pangitaan ko niyag nindot na chats or case.

Lately, she’s been asking me to eat samgyup with her after work and suggesting we watch K-dramas or anime together. She vents a lot about her partner, who’s unemployed but does the household chores.

She’s started hinting that she needs someone to cuddle with because she feels so stressed and unsupported. I’m really starting to feel awkward. I don’t want to offend her, especially since she’s my QA, but this feels like it’s crossing a line.

How do I politely decline her invites and set boundaries without causing any issues with my scores or in the workplace? And, do you think this is her trying to cheat on her partner, or am I just overthinking?

I’d really appreciate your advice. Salamat kaayo!
