I need advice but not OCD related just need help
So this is not at all OCD related it’s something I’m dealing with at work and I need advice not Ocd reassurance kind of advice but I figured someone here might relate and I know this is an OCD community but I have no one else around me who quite understands how annoying this is… So there’s this guy I work with. He’s 36 and he’s never had a real girlfriend. He gets rejected by every woman he tries to get with because in my opinion he’s very desperate and tries waaaaay too hard. I get having a crush on someone. I’ve been there but not to the point I kept bothering them about it. He has told me he likes me and I only see him as a friend/co worker because I’m sorry I’m not attracted to him at all, he’s very immature and annoying. He’s 13 years older than me and I’ve told him time and time again I do not like him like that and to stop and that it’s getting to the point where it’s making me uncomfortable because no matter what I tell him, he won’t stop. I’ve brought it up to management and my closest friends I work with and they tell me that they talk to him about it and he’s making it out like he’s innocent but to me it’s really started to freak me out because when ever I laugh or joke around with him or my friends he takes it that I like him and I don’t that’s just how I am I’m very silly and more outgoing than when I first started working there 3 years ago and when I tell him that I don’t like him and to stop he gets all pouty and he’s lazy at work as it is but then he gets worse and treats me crap and then I’m the one who has to apologize and then it starts all over again. When I brought it up to the assistant manager who I’m very close with, she told me that I need to be more stern I guess about it and said that I need to tell him I will report him for sexual harassment if he doesn’t stop and I don’t want to do that because he’s my friend and I don’t want the situation to get ugly. At my job we are all very close and like I said I get having a crush, I had one on a guy that’s still currently working there and it hurts like hell because he decided to sleep with my ex best friend who also works there but that’s besides the point. I just don’t know what else to do. Should I report him to the store manager? Who has probably already talked to him about it too? I feel like I should quit but I’m sorry I’m not going to leave my job I’ve been at for 3 years because the guy won’t take a hint
