[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How to prevent him from stoping by your office:

Answer any work related questions but do not engage in any conversations other than work (do not ask him questions)
Do not discuss your personal life
Don't smile 
If he wants to chit chat other than work - 
     Answer  with a lot of the following responses "yeah"          
     "wow" "ok". Repeat.
    check the time
    tell him your busy

Ask him directly, "you stop by a lot.  Can I help you?"

I had a guy like this at work once. It was awful. It was a combo of crush and creepy personality (the staring and not picking up on cues is the creep part). This guy eventually talked to the owner and main office manager (very small company ) about his concerns that I was a deeply depressed person. When in reality, I couldn't stand the guy so to try to get rid of him I behaved just like pp suggests. One word answers, no eye contact, no smiling, unfriendly facade. This guy just could not catch a clue. OMG it was nearly unbearable. Right before I decided to ask the boss if he could somehow separate us, the creepy guy and the boss gad a big loud yelling blowout, and he was fired. Thank god.

Just sharing my experience. Guys like this are so beyond "workplace crush."[/quote]
