6 Tips to Deal With a Flirty Coworker
4. Complain to a higher authority if things start to get out of hand
Sometimes the over friendly gestures of the flirt could get out of hand and going to the office could fill you with dread at the mere prospect of meeting him. You can’t possibly continue to work at a place you feel discomfort in. If after your warnings the flirt continues to do as he pleases, then it’s time you complained about him to a higher authority and put him to book.
5. Use humor
Flirty men always look out for support from others to woo a woman. You could turn the tables on him and diffuse the situation with humor by making a joke about the flirter’s behavior when you are with a group of coworkers and he is present too. This not only tells other workers about your situation, but it will also embarrass your flirter. This light embarrassment will likely cause your flirter to stop.
6. If you have a man in your life, show it
Flirtatious overtures are not only limited to single women because men don’t categorize their liking for someone, like women do. Even if you have told him that you are already committed and he has no chance, he would probably not stop. So if you have a husband or a boyfriend, tell him to come and pick you up after office, visit you during breaks or drop you off to office. This way the errant coworker will see for himself that he really has no chance and would stop wasting his energy on you.
