How To Handle My Colleague Sexual Feelings Towards Me Without Hurting Her by SteveDGreat: 1:49pm On Jul 22, 2021 |
In my office, a female coworker frankly declared her feelings to me. She accused me of not paying attention to her when she needed it. I informed her that I do not catch feelings at work and would not do so. She pleaded with me to at least respond to her conversations or call her on a daily basis. I tried to do it just not to hurt her feelings, but quickly stopped when I noticed she is developing deeper feelings. She is aware of my ex date that didn't work. I am single, but I don't wanna date her, cos it is a dead end. I will end up sleeping with her. And I seriously don't want to engage in that. She seize every opportunity we are alone to bring up the feelings talk. How do I manage this without hurting her feelings.

Oga your story no show. For me I no fit date a colleague, so if one shows interest like this one I would have said lets define our relationship as to be colleagues with benefits but when I think of it I swear I come to conclusion that its a no no because it could be disastrous doing such means you are jeopardizing your means of livelihood. That shit could cost you your job. 4 Likes |

Tell her you are not interested in any relationship yet, you need some space to heal of your previous relationship 5 Likes |

Just clarify the relationship... Is it friends with benefits or marriage she wants. Let everyone know their stand. |

Why is it that people don't get it? When it has to do with emotions it's either u get hurt or the other way around. Y'all keep asking "how do I tell him/her without hurting their feelings" there's only one outcome to dis question, the person involved will have to deal with it, period. The least u can do is try to present the issue as light/calm as possible, even at that the person at the receiving end will still get hurt. So it's best to cut the ties early and take a stand, not trying to lead the person deeper consciously or otherwise in the name of "hurting feelings" just like u did here ..... SteveDGreat: Anyway that being said, tell her how u feel about the whole work and romance stuff, you don't buy into such, whatever it is you're doing that u feel is leading her on, put a stop to it. Everyone has principles, if this is yours the best u can do is stand by it. But one thing I can assure you of is..... She's going to get hurt no matter how u present it. Will only take time she'll be over you. Although there's another option...... 4 Likes |

you went the wrong way about it from the get go... if you dont want anything with the girl then: A) if you tell a woman you dont catch feeling at work (instead of "i am not interested in you" ) then she will possibly believe that you are into her and that the problem is only that you guys work together. a deranged woman would simply quit the job so that you can now fully date one another. B) you gave her hope by accepting to reply to her "non work related msgs" and/or call her everyday, as if you guys were more than friends. C) why do you care so much about not hurting HER feelings above YOUR feelings?! its either you tell her the hard truth and hurt her deranged self OR you keep this charade. D) the minute she mentionned that she was sometimes jealous that you spoke to your ex, thats when you should have put AN END to this charade. it doesnt matter that you guys work together, as you DONT WANT HER....thats the simple message you should drill inside that woman's head. 3 Likes 1 Share |

What I don't understand is why a man who has been turned down left right and center by women would worry about hurting a woman's feeling when one finally approaches him. Why don't you keep your face straight and just tell her that it can't work and then back it up with actions? They don't give a dam about your feelings when they turn you down so why do you care? 9 Likes 2 Shares |
