    more descriptive...if i mentioned she was rather ghetto then that would be racist...hence my fear and belief that she could "make me her boyfriend"

    A Person in a position of Power [Say a Teacher]
    Proposition someone in a position of no or less power [say a student]

    I think that they person who is being violated knows mostly
    If someone makes unwanted advances. . . get turned down
    and they continue to make those advances or adversely affect
    the other person's job . . . then you entering the Sexual Harassment arena

    Just sit naked at your desk and ask him to stop by.... if he looks at you, report him to the authorities!

    I'd start with talking to him again, doing my best to make sure this guy understands where you are coming from. I know you already told him and have enough to take it to your employer, but the question is whether it's worth escalating, so if you can resolve it with one more talk, I'd try it.

    Sometimes, guys are just dense.

    After that, then take it to your employer in a matter of fact way, let them deal with him. And then if you need to go further, then consider your other options.

    My sense is that your employer will do their best to prevent further occurrance either by telling him what's up or getting rid of him altogether. Employers don't want to get anyone mad enough to start a law suit.

    And frankly, you don't wnat to litigate over this kind of crap. It's not worth your time even if you win.

    The real problem is that you have allowed the sexual tension to build up, and that is not fair to him. The only moral way to resolve this is for you to make hot, sweaty, monkey love to him at least four and a half times. Then it will be out of his system. Once you have done that, try not to dress so slutty around the office, you are not being fair to your more important male coworkers.

    This is gonna sound corny and extremist, but to each his own.

    Ever since Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill exploded on the scene in the early 90s, I NEVER EVER comment on the physical appearance or clothing of females other than my wife. I also go out of my way to make absolutely sure nothing I say or do can be misconstrued in that manner. I'm not into flirting or crude humor so it really doesn't take much effort. BTW, effective next week, I will be the only male left at our small business.

    After this thread plays out, I'm going to start a thread on women at work. A couple of weeks ago, my assistant told me a few things that blew my mind. My wife confirmed 100% of it was true. I want some of the ladies here to chime and hope it's informative to some of you guys.

    Seriously, if the guy wants your picture to fap during the middle of the work day you should feel flattered. I would blame the IT guys at your work for shutting down access to the p*rn sites this guy would otherwise use.

    Perhaps if you were to grab his balls and squeeze them really hard, he might reconsider his interest.

    Just sayin'.

    this is a big mistake. The LAST thing you want to do is start up a (ANY) conversation that you initiated.

    come on...think about it.

    guys like this will think anything initiated by you is a positive outcome...don't underestimate their ability to hope beyond hope.

    Yeah, but wouldn't their ability to hope beyond hope be encouraged more by a lack of negative feedback than by a negative feedback?

    Anyhow, all I'm saying is do what saves you the most trouble. Each person has to judge the individual situation involved.

    Why would you be scared of a big girl when you call yourself DonkeyMagic? If you are anything close to a donkey...

    I have a friend who IIRC had to attend a sexual harrassment seminar cause a moo cow reported him for "flirting" with a co-worker. The co-worker was his mom's age and married, and the "flirting" was innocent joking between the two. It made the moo cow uncomfortable.

    The moo cow should have reported him for staring at cleavage.

    IMO, I notice a greater percentage of married guys flirting w/ the ladies.

    Maybe thats just at my work place.

    Not even.

    I don't see this thread yet.

    What is RP?

    well, then it would be allowed at the strip clubs so therefore i don't work at a strip club. ;)
