Yes at my age I also am happy for a compliment.
I never get offended because if its from someone I know , I can handle it myself.
I dont care who likes me or doesnt, I dont have time for that in my life. If for some reason, I felt threatened, like he would wait for me in the parking lot, or follow me around, yes I would get help. I go to work to make money not friends, if I get friends from it I am blessed. I have enough friends.
On the other hand, I love people. If I hear a newbie say or do something wrong, I will tell them. I have nothing to lose. I did it with a driver one time who hit on anything with female parts. he took an air for me one day and the next day the woman told me, what he said to her, and that he found out where she lived, and she saw him in the parking lot on the weekend.
And then confronted her.
I told him on Monday, and I didnt sugar coat it.
I told her I think hes harmless just lonely. I think he actually thinks a woman would take this as a compliment. I will talk to him today, if you see him again, report him. But please let me talk to him first. And then gave her my mgrs number.
He acted like I was crazy.
He thought she was pretty and wanted to ask her out. I told him thats not how you ask someone out. As a female I know that fer sure. If you want to ask her out, then you are in the wrong job. If you see her at a nightclub, fine, ask her out. Your job at UPS is not matchmakers.com, and you are so close to getting called on it and it wont be the first time, and you will be gone.
I know sveral people on here have found their soul mates at work, and thats wonderful. But you have to know how to do it, and your friendliness can be accepted in different ways. Especially now. And take it outside of the workplace to confirm it.
