buzzie2 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I am in a situation right now that is to say the least, well awkward. There is this guy who I knew from about 6 years back that had a huge crush on me. I told him I was not interested and thought of him as just a friend. Remember, this was 6 years ago! Anyways, I hadn't really had much contact with him in the last several years. We were never really that close, and I always found him to be really needy, emotionally unstable, and immature for a man of his age. He told me he was a virgin until age 35. About a year ago he came into the store that I work in with his younger brother. He kept making these strange comments like "oh this is my good friend", and "you don't have a ring on your finger". I remember thinking at the time that he still had a thing for me, but forgot about it. So about a month ago I ran into him downtown. He told me that he had gotten hired at the same store I have been working at for 3 years in the clothing department as a janitor. I said good luck with the job and was friendly, and really didn't think too much about it. Well it has been a nightmare since he started working there. On his first date he caused a scene with me in the lunch room. He stormed up to me and said angrily "Don't you say hi"! I told him I didn't say hi because the store manager was giving him instructions! Then he started asking me what my days off were. Several days after he was being rude to me, and then one day I said hi and then he said "hi- bye!". He is acting almost possesive of me. I feel very uncomfortable- this is where I work and I don't want this unstable loser to cause problems for me. I am worried he is saying stuff about me. Does anyone have any advice for me?

CaliGuy Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I would talk to your supervisor and HR department about him.
Scooter25 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 At the very least explain this situation to a higher up and let them be aware of the situation.
JoeNewbie Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 First step would be to tell him very clearly that his friendship and other advances are not welcome and that he must cease right away. If he does not cease right away, you will bring it up with management. If you are not comfortable with the first step, go to the second step directly.
