Re: Non-fandom secret thread

A guy at my job asked me out and I cannot stand him. LIKE AT ALL. My body language has always been...closed off? And my attitude toward him has always been short, bordering on curt, but still respectful enough for the workplace. Hell, I avoid eye contact and always stare tiredly/unamused when he makes a joke. In essence, I've always tried to make it clear that I would rather not deal with you if I can avoid it. However we're coworkers and I will not be disrespectful.

Between stating that I appreciated him shooting his shot, as it were, and that I'm not interested in seeing anyone at this time, and I'm only focused on myself and that it's hard for me to find anyone attractive (I find plenty of people physically attractive, but only one person I've gone out with sexually attractive -- I could probably feel some kinda heat with the others should the time arise, but nothing like what I felt that one time -- but coworker ain't it in any department for me), he kind of tried to convince me? To go out with him anyway? Like "oh yeah, I've been there, the whole I gotta find myself, but you end up finding blah blah another person blah blah. I'm not sure if he got it. But a friend mentioned did you say you were not interested in him?? Specifically? Hope he finds someone interested in him.

Anyway. I don't like him. He annoyed me since he got to my office, didn't like his attitude. Obviously, I'm courteous, but man I just can't stand him. If he doesn't get the picture I'm gonna have to be a bit more forceful with my rejection.

I'm also confused why you would ask out someone who has shown no interest in you/has always been curt with you at worst, perfunctory at best. Especially if they literally chat with everyone else in the office for extended periods of time but give me but 10 seconds of their time. I would have assumed you didn't like me/didn't care for me/neutral at best.

you're assuming that people pay attention to the person rather than their own attraction and a lot of people really don't.

You listen to his jokes, enough to even make a point of it. He's only noticed you interacting with him so he doesn't know this isn't who you are normally. By not giving him a hard no you left your answer to interpretation, saying 'not at this time' means you're available to give it a chance in the future. Say what you mean. You're not in-law's you're co-workers, tell him full stop that you're not interested. When he talks to you at work, tell him you're busy working. You can be polite and not give him the time of day, just direct your attention to something else.

You don't have to provide an explanation. Just 'no, thank you' is enough. That's what I try to do with people who want to argue me around into doing something I've said no to, anyway. I find people sometimes come up with their own reasons and try to change my mind anyway, but I just stick to plain 'no' and excuse myself from the conversation as soon as I can.
