And women are supposedly evil. :-)<BR/><BR/>The sexual harassment stuff is pretty harsh, but if it comes down to that I have no problem with it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment.Zeldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057183557031707514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883420.post-18244656439656203202008-11-25T13:16:00.000-06:002008-11-25T13:16:00.000-06:00You are being too nice.

When guys like him get explanations like that, they think "Hey, she didn't tell me off, so she must be interested".<BR/><BR/>My suggestion is that you take out the explanations about love and loyalty. As you can see by his marital status and behavior, love honor and obligation are merely whimsical fantasies that exist only in his partners mind. <BR/><BR/>If it was me, I would write:<BR/><BR/><I>Thanks for your note, as I told you before, I an not interested. While we can certainly function as classmates, I find myself becoming very uncomfortable with your behavior. I am not here to flirt, I am here to learn.</I><BR/><BR/>Then lie a little....<BR/><BR/><I>Although I am sure that your intentions are just friendly, you should know that I went through a sexual harassment episode a few years ago. While I was satisfied with the outcome -- the harasser lost his job and ended up divorced -- it was an experience that I do not wish to repeat.<BR/><BR/>I want you to know that the harassment that I went through started out in the very same way. I will give you the benefit of the doubt for the moment. However, I suggest that you check out the school policies and guidelines pertaining to sexual harassment. If you follow them and treat me like a fellow student as opposed to an object for flirtation, then we will have no problems.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the note, but, as I explained before, I am here to learn, not flirt. </I><BR/><BR/>Nothing will turn a guy off faster than the prospect of standing tall before HR or it's academic equivalent.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.mr_nimbushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440906596768912370noreply@blogger.com
