Dear Queenie,
There’s this older man where I work who says he likes me a lot. We talk to each other a lot, not always about our work, and sometimes he gives me a treat like a box of candy. He says he likes me very much, but he has never tried to see me away from work.
Queenie, what’s wrong with him?—Embarrassed co-worker
Dear Co-worker,
There is nothing wrong with him. Apparently he has a crush on you, but does not intend to take it any further than he already has, possibly because of your age difference – or maybe because he knows or thinks you are married or in a committed relationship.
If his attentions embarrass you so much, try to avoid him and stop accepting his little treats. Eventually he will get over it.
