2. He does
I don't feel comfortable around him. He comments on how nice I look almost every day. I could go in looking like a garbage dump and he would tell me I look nice.

He tells me about his love life. And I do NOT want to hear it.

And I am married - happily. He knows this. He knows my husband. I am not a player.

Please tell him I am NOT interested. Thanks :)

3. I would. But I don't know the guy.
Or his email address.

4. Would you beat him up for me?
Did I mention that I really do not like him - at all??

6. Oh I don't know if I HATE him
He just gives me the creeps. And I want him to stop flirting with me.

Yes, I have told him. He's either dense or completely infatuated with me.

7. next time he does something inappropriate
(like talk about his love-life), tell him very sternly and very seriously that such talk in appropriate in the workplace, and that moreover as a married woman you have no interest in his love life at any time.

9. yes--I would be a bit "bitchy"
unfortunately some guys are so completely clueless that they will keep trying unless you make it very clear that you are not going to give them the time of day.

Most of us are not like that--and many of us are quite sensitve towards women.

But--it sounds like this guy is a moron--so he probably should be treated like one.

13. Say it loud and in earshot/sight of others
If you embarrass him, he will vanish...(unless he's a boss, and can hurt your employment)..

If that fails, go above his head to HIS boss and tell how he's hitting on you:)

10. Uggh, creepy.
There one was a guy who started working in my old office, and when i didn't return his advances, he said he would kill me "just because". Needless to say, he didn't work there very long.

If you've told him you're not interested, and that you're married.. then he should get the clue. Anything else is his own fault.

12. Go to HR
That's sexual harassment. He knows you don't want to hear about his love life, he knows you're not interested, he's not stopping.
