Her Coworker Has Been Hitting On Her, But He’s 28 Years Younger Than She Is
An anonymous woman is troubled over what she should do about one of her co-workers.
This 46-year-old woman works at a large retail store and is having an issue with her 18-year-old high schooler co-worker. The problem isn’t him giving her teenage angst or him not showing up to work. He’s been hitting on her!
The woman is a divorcée and has never experienced anything like this.
She first started noticing the teenage co-worker going out of his way for her in the store.
“Anytime he sees me lifting anything, he helps me, and he’s proud of how strong he is,” she explained.
“If a customer is rude to me, he intervenes. He has given me more compliments this month than I’ve ever gotten in my life.”
However, he started taking it one step further when some of his compliments became inappropriate for the workplace.
He was commenting on her weight and would still pay more attention to her when girls his age would come into the store.
“He always gravitates back to me,” she said.

Then, he became touchy.
“He’s rubbed my thigh before in the breakroom, he’s grabbed my (backside) while I was bent over stocking shelves, he’s always putting his arm around me,” she continued.
What’s surprising is that his advances towards this woman aren’t necessarily unwanted. She explains that she does enjoy his company and that he always makes her laugh.
However, she is aware that there is a crazy age difference and wouldn’t even know what to do with him.
“I feel like he’s worn down my defenses a lot too,” she added.
Additional Reddit users began chiming in in the comments section, trying to help this woman see the situation more clearly.
“You need to shut it down,” wrote one user. “Workplace romances nearly always end badly…this whole thing is highly unprofessional.”
Another commenter tried to tell her that the teenager is taking advantage of the fact that she is lonely and vulnerable after her divorce.
“Sorry, but he’s playing with you,” said another person. “Focus on yourself, healing from your divorce, and doing something about your self-esteem that doesn’t involve a potential fling with a teenage player.”
