    I don't meant to, or want to sound vain in anyway, but I think one of my married work colleagues might "like" (?) me.

    Went back to my part-time job (I'm in college) on Friday after 3 months away. Said hello to everyone and started my shift. One of the managers (the colleague in question) was sort of re-training me, and he said "I missed you, I really missed you". He said it again a while later.

    Next thing, he asked me what perfume I was wearing, then told me that I smelt really nice. Started to get a bit freaked out but continued on as normal. We were then just chatting and out of nowhere when he said "You're amazing".

    Later I was complaining about my over-sized man's shirt that I've to wear (I'm a girl) and he said "It looks good on you. It looks good on good looking girls. You'd look good in anything". I also thought that he was touching me a bit too much, like rubbing off my shoulder, reaching across me when there was no need, etc. This continued through to Saturday. Not in again until next weekend (thank god).

    So AH's... What do you all think? Is he being inappropriate? I'd love if I was completely wrong!

    You're wrong, you're hideous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,438 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!


    Stop being a tease!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy


    He doesn't like you, he just wants to sex you up.

    Next time he compliments you just ask him how his wife is...watch the embarrassment burn him up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    sham marriage, he's clearly gay


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers

    Married people cannot like other people, what planet are you living on.

    I'd say you are completely wrong.

    He's trying to slip you the sausage for sure!, try avoid him....you can be aloof and dismissive of him without being nasty, he'll get the hint.....or going into work looking like shiite for a week, he'll soon move on!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Usually when someone says 'please tell me I'm wrong' they want people to do the opposite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin


    Op, tell the full story,not just the half one so that we give you attention: are you flirting with him?

    Now tell the truth please!

    Is there anyone who you can talk to in your workplace cos this is pure sexual harrassment. This man is behaving inappropriately towards you. Do something about cos you really don't know what he's like.:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,674 ✭✭✭Teutorix


    Sue the company for sexual harassment, make a tidy few bob.

    All the time.

    OP you are probably being genuinely nice and with his type you can't - if you're polite to this type he thinks you want him. Just smile very coldly and in the least genuine, most professional way you can, and avoid him like the plague.

    Ah jaysus... I'd have to wait and see if anything else happens. Sounds a bit extreme!

    It's actually a good idea to talk to someone. If his harassment escalates you will want documentation that you were made uncomfortable and did something about it.

    Thats the worst advise ever.

    You should just ride him tbh

    Firing somebody for rejecting your come ons is illegal and the burden of proof is on the employer. Labour court here i come.

    If she wants to go down the harassment route then she has to tell him that his behavior is making her uncomfortable, makes no odds if she tells everyone else under the sun, its imperative that he knows and continues anyway if she wants money out of it, subtle hints rarely suffice.
