This guy is a creep and knows exactly what he’s doing. Now, what are you going to do about it? You should be bringing this to someone’s attention ASAP.
Yep, it's creepy behavior, but maybe the guy is just clueless or just likes how your hair smells, or some other stupid thing. When he does it, deliberately step back away when you turn to him, before you answer. This is body language that says, "back off," and you can see if he gets it. If he doesn't, or continues, you may have to decide to say something.
There is this guy, who is my boss, who seems to always try to talk to me in my ear towards my side and I always have to turn to face him. He's tall and slouches when he does this to make sure he is speaking drictley in my ear (To give you a picture I'm 5'7 and he is nearing 6'0) and is always too close for comfort. He never seems to approach me directly and most of the time I don't even notice he is there before he approaches me like this.
I'd start reacting in a loud over dramatic way every time he does this.....I would grossly exaggerate to call attention to his creepy behavior, in a loud voice tell him that he startled you creeping up on you.........he likely will stop because he obviously doesn't want others to see him creeping up on you.
If you think you are being harassed by his behaviors contact dept. of labor.

Yes. He does. Know what he is doing. Trust your gut. Go with your instinct. He is trying to intimidate you by invading your space, and he knows it.
If you feel it's creepy, it's creepy. Trust your gut--and DO NOT be "nice" or worry about being polite, and find yourself alone with him. And please read:
There doesn't seem to be any real indication that it's more than he's unaware of standard needs for personal space.
People do that to me sometimes, and I feel like I'm playing chase around the room. They move in too close, I back up. They move in too close, I back up. If they back me up against a wall or another person, I turn to be at an angle.
And these are almost always women acquaintances, a few times males. They're not threatening, have no intention of harming me, they just have a very small personal space bubble.
OP, if your boss has never said anything questionable, or never tried to touch you, he's just a personal space clueless guy. I certainly would not aggressively confront him about it, but maybe you could just move away a little.
I read somewhere awhile back how different cultures have different personal spaces. Some will get right up close to you while talking. I feel better around 3 ft away, or so unless they have to whisper something to me. Here are some search results for that topic if anyone wants to explore it . It's kind of interesting.
also go to hr in your company and let them know he is creating a uncomfortable work environment and you want it stopped or you will be seeing an attorney and suing their pants off .
