writes:I am single woman with no children and look younger than my age.There is this guy Daniel at work who I have caught staring at me sometimes. Yesterday another older male coworker jokingly teased me saying that my husband spoilt me by pampering me too much at home (he doesn't know I am not married). At this the Daniel guy got really irritated and abruptly left his seat and stopped talking to me completely. Then later that day he started talking to this girl ,loud enough that I could hear him that he was taking his fiancee out for dinner tonight and then looked at me. I know this guy doesn't have a girlfriend or a fiancee . He ignored me the whole day and gave me sad looks.We are not dating. We are just friendly coworkers.I am so confused.I am not even married but Why my relationship status bothered him so much that he lied about having a fiancee and stopped talking to me ?

Your job.And ignore him.Romance in the workplace always ends up a bad idea.I am sure there will be plenty of other women for him to run his game on.But not you. You are much smarter than that.

HE probably thinks you are kind of a bad person for flirting while "married". I would find a way to work in in conversation that you are NOT married.

 I think I remember you have posted about this guy before ( and about the other girl who likes him and acts jealous )and tbh my impression is that you are practicing selective attention. You are cherrypicking certain episodes, this one for instance, choosing to give them more special meaning than others.
It's obvious that you' d like us ti tell you : why, of course- it must be because he likes you so much and he gets madly jealous if any of the other guys pays you any attention.
Uhm. Maybe. But then, you have glided over the fact that this guy flirts and banters all the time with all the girls in the workplace, right under your nose - and particularly with your rival, the jealous one. Plus, that he is single and he knows you are single and after several months , he has not only not asked you out yet, but never done or said anything to get to know you better as a friend and become closer .
Reason for which, I would not put much stock into anything he says to you. It's just all fluff, all silly games.

 Sounds like he is a drama llama or... he thought you really ARE married and he felt upset that YOU hadn't told him.
Either way, if ONE incident such as someone making a JOKE about your non-existent husband gets his THIS upset? Maybe you need to remember that and keep ALL romantic notions out of the work place.
