Have you ever endured pure awkwardness from a guy who has a crush on you at work?

This is really more for women to reply, but men are welcome if they've experienced the same with women. Awkwardness as in, getting that constant unwanted attention from them and having them hint a lot that they like you and want to date you. And they aren't your type at all which results in a painful cringe and prominent internal screaming.

(Yes this is what I go through at work. that's why I'm asking others about their experiences with this)

My boss was doing this to me, until I called him out on it during a meeting at work. I lost my cool and snapped at him for an inappropriate comment but honestly he hasn't done it since, he even told me he's kind of scared of me. I much prefer that to awkward compliments during work meetings.

My last girlfriend I met through work, I had no idea she liked me until we went for work drinks one night, one moment I was alone with her and she admitted she liked me for some months, I wasn't sure at the time I liked her too, but I questioned it though lol, even those lunch breaks we had alone together and I still haven't had a clue, but I've always been the shy, oblivious guy in those sitchos lol. But we ended up together for a couple of years. But funny enough I always said to myself "I never date a co-worker" lol.

Yes. He was in the same team so it was a little uncomfortable.

I had to act a little standoffish sometimes, because I think my chattiness may have been mistaken for flirting.

Luckily I just moved roles so I don't really have to work with him or even see him anymore 😅

This only happens to me if I really like a girl, even then I won't make it obvious that I do like her. Other girls I talk to as just friends, even though they maybe attractive too, it's easier when you don't view them as someone you really really like.

I just accepted that she won't ever like me. That ended it.
I was like, looking in the mirror and I just said to myself: "It's never gonna work out because she already dates someone."

No but there is a creepy janitor where I work who calls me gorgeous, baby , sweetie and such .....* gags*

Think it's easily resolved with a conversation.

I've had something like this happen to me twice. When I was at my last job this one worker you used to lick his lips whenever he saw me. Then at another job my supervisor flirted with me a few times. The crazy thing is that he was cool person. Very easygoing. But he was married! I wouldn't been bothered by that if he wasn't married.

I'm thankful I'm not this bad with girls anymore
I hate being the unrequited love guy, but that seems to be my lot in life. Once I develop some infatuation with a woman, however, I generally avoid her like the plague. It's the least I can do, since I hate the pitying looks, the knowledge of the internal screaming (women aren't really any less obvious than men, when it comes down to it), and all the rest.
