[quote=Anonymous]The most uncomfortable thing to me would be the fact that you have to see this guy constantly whether you want to or not. It seems like it would be easy enough to say "no" if he asks you to lunch. If he's persistent, it seems like you could just lay it out a little clearer that you are married, busy, etc and don't have time to meet.

One thing that I would suggest is that you not make him angry or set up a situation that makes it more uncomfortable. Speaking for myself, it is more comfortable to make a short comment or two to a person that I see every day. If you try to ignore him, that might not be fun either when you're alone with him on the elevator or wherever. I would strive for politely getting the message across if it comes up and tryi to keep a sustainable situation since you don't want to dread every time you see this guy.

Keep in mind that we live in a really weird culture where everyone has different ideas about how to act. In some environments in the  metro area, it would be normal to start conversations with people after seeing them just a couple of times and maybe ask them out to lunch. In others, I am amazed how isolated people are in their profession. Some people never get out and and don't know anyone in their field or related fields unless they have worked with them.

I am also amazed at the lack of social skills that so many people have and how easily freaked out they are about the possibility of interacting with others. You should see the looks on strangers faces when I talk to them sometimes as if they just don't know how to handle it. Others take it naturally and get a good conversation going. Best of luck!
