To tell my work colleague I really do not fancy him

Whenever I see him he looks terrified and mentions his girlfriend in every sentence. 'I'm just picking up some food for tea with my GIRLFRIEND tonight'.

He likes to tell me how hot he finds other women when he's with me 'Sandra from I.T is SO hot'.

If I call him into my office for something he pretends he's not heard me so he isn't alone with me. He's obviously worried I will pounce on him or declare my love.

Next time he informs me he's forgotten my name, a meeting we have, a social event together. Would it be okay for me to mention the fact that I am a lesbian and do not have any sexual attraction to him.

It's getting ridiculous now.

Too right tell the big headed twit that you don't fancy him.

So you work for a big organisation? At my place heavy flirting and commenting on how hot women are would not be tolerated. We have endless training courses to ensure the place isn't sued ultimately!!

It can also be very uncomfortable for new joiners so he needs to understand he should be more careful about how he treats women. Work is work - not a pick up joint

Is he actually flirting or is he just one of those people with no filter?

user1483474832 · 04/01/2017 10:30

He's definitely flirting but he does that with all women. Bit of a ladies man!

Ok sorry I just thought I'd ask.ive worked with a few people who are just very open and honest and will pretty much talk about anything (I have to confess I would join right in with those conversations ) and if we weren't talking around "safe" people I cab see how newbies and those unfamiliar with our team dynamic could take it differently.

I think he fancies you and his some weird fetish swirling around his brain that features you, other women and himself.

Mentioning at work how hot you find other women is deeply inappropriate.

I wouldn't share any private information, I'd just tackle the immediate bad behaviour: ignoring, forgetting, meetings etc.

Just only talk to him about work.

I agree

Mentioned my girlfriend today. He looked rather devastated.m and was quite all day.

Think he's gutted. Must have fancied me afterall.

Welcome to my world now where you will probably just get ignored and shrugged at if you're lucky Grin

Awwww, poor little sausage. You've broken his heart. I'm sure he'll get over it though.
