My manager and i have been talking a lot more lately due to me still being new and we are understaffed at my job and we talk about everything. We talk about things non work related too but yesterday he said “I’m getting too comfortable talking with you, you’re going to get me in trouble i have to stop”
What does he mean by that? What’s wrong with coworkers chatting?

It means;
He’s getting too comfortable talking with you, you’re going to get him in trouble, he has to stop…
He’s not your coworker, he’s your supervisor.

But we talk about regular things that’s why I’m confused

Let me guess…you’re attracted to your manager and are enjoying these little chats with him and want to know if he’s attracted to you too! It’s an incredibly BAD idea to get involved with your supervisor! And if you’re understaffed at work sounds like both of you need to be working instead of hanging around chatting about “everything”. So it could be you’re going to get him in trouble because it’s keeping you both from working or he’s going to get in trouble because people are going to start talking about how much time you two spend together and it’s frowned on for him to be involved with the staff.
Bottom line spend more time actually doing your new job than chatting with coworkers.

I don’t like him romantically but i do like talking to him since I’m new i have no work friends

Why then, are you asking this question on a relationship forum?
Andrea
It means he recognizes that you are trouble and he values being able to earn an income.

I agree with kaye, you are hoping for something, but you should let it go. Chatting a lot with your subordinate about things that don’t concern work is inappropriate… I guess that’s what he meant. If you are initiating it, then that was a signal for you to back off. If he is initiating it, then you can treat it as a warning of a potential harassment situation.
