I just need advice since I’ve digged myself a bit of a hole... im Leo, 21 and this Aries is almost 27. We work together, and instantly hit it off, platonically, though it didn’t take long for us to friendly flirt. Two weeks later, I found out he was married by two other people who work with us too. Long story short, he chased me and it definitely caught my attention, I won’t lie... however I always will respect his marriage, even if he doesn’t. This always bothered him and was extremely persistent with getting me to go out with him. I always denied, and maybe I was a little naive to believe it was nothing more than friendly flirting - eventually he opened himself to me and even started to speak to me a bit too flowery for my own comfort. I started ignoring those parts and continue a more platonic approach, which resolved in him getting frustrated with me and becoming very short in our recent conversations.
The advice I’m asking for is - how Can I handle this situation? I know he’s an ass, but I work closely to him almost everyday. And the thing is, I still don’t even hate his presence. I just don’t want things to be so awkward, it’d be nice and easier if I could just befriend him. Even if it never leaves the workplace. It’s hard to have a real conversation when he’s being this childish, but I’m giving him space.

Ask to be transferred. Or report him for harassment if he continues to pursue you after you've shut him down.

What advice? Was there any?
