Suddenly he is sending me very wrong signals. He came to the airport to drop me - extra long hug. Sms- "I am longing for you" I find it creepy and weird. How can I stop him without hurting his feelings? I am definitely not interested in married men. Reply to this Question Share |

Be blunt and assertive don't play female games of "don't want to hurt his feelings". If he doesn't listen and behave properly tell his boss, his wife, HR and file a lawsuit if necessary. If he's doing this to you, he's doing it to others and they may not be as strong and capable as you. Take charge and be the leader you were hired to be.

if it's only once or twice, just ignore it.
if he repeats those messages to you, just tell him that you are not interested
if he doesnt give up, tell him that you will report those sms to Human resource
If he doesnt stop, tell the HR..

Don't worry about his "feelings", the guy is a creap and needs to be straightened out...You can try to talk to him, but odds are if he's crossed this boundary he doesn't understand what a boundary is... he's probing and wants one thing...HR will take this very seriously as failure to take action on this is serious and can easily end up in a major (and expensive) lawsuit.Good luck
