Embarrassing
Where I used to work a male colleague asked me out (for clarity I am femail) We had worked together for about 4 years previously. Before actually asking me out. I had noticed that his behaviour towards me changed, he was periodically aggressive or overly suggestive and lecherous, other times normal. I came very close to reporting him to the management.

One day, he said he wanted to speak to me in one of the meeting rooms. My first instinct was NO, then I thought be brave and suggested the coffee shop (which was a cheap looking Costa effort on the ground floor of the office block we worked in) as it was covered by CCTV. He sat on one sofa I sat on another. He then held his and out, put his other hand over his eyes and cried. Blubbing the words I think you’re are very attractive. I said thank you very much and got up to leave. He griped my wrist and said ‘And’. All I could muster was Oh… do you want to err go out for a drink sometime. His reply was a vicious Yes.

Well, we did go out for a drink. To hide my embarrassment I suggested a pub I had never been to before, straight after work (hence no dinner) and proceeded to get disgustingly drunk and tried to be as much of an arse as possible while dodging his many limbs and the laying on of hands. It didn’t work – he wanted to see me again. I tried everything, I am busy, I am tired, I have no money, I don’t feel well, but carried on asking me, when I made an excuse he would then say this exact phrase quite loudly in the office ‘but when we did it before, you said you liked it.’

It stopped when I moved jobs.

You should have reported the arse to management straight away.
