<human>: I just started a new job a week ago but I worked for the company before, in a different capacity, so I had previously met my boss but never knew him personally. It started off with him joking with me and giving me nicknames that weren't mean or anything but he would tease me a lot. It seemed like he was a 5 year old with a crush. However, he's gotten mean. Yesterday at work he told me no one likes me and asked me why I even work there. I confronted him and asked him why he's so mean to me to which he said I started it and I am a mean person. I tried explaining that I am not mean, I am just shy, and I even offered him something of mine that I know he wanted (it was a bag we received as a gift from another company). I really don't think I am mean to him but I am a little bit sassy back at him when he teases me because that's just how I am and I am not going to take his harassment lying down.

The company I work for is really small and really relaxed so I can't just complain to a higher up. How do I deal with him? What approach do I take? I don't even know if he really hates me or just thinks I am cute, because I heard he does this to other cute girls. It's a temporary position but I want to stay as long as I can so I need the relationship between us to be a good one.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: Boss is mean to me and I don't know if it's his weird way of flirting or if he genuinely hates me. Don't know how to approach the situation or how to act so that work goes smoothly.
