Colleague “creeping” on FB – what do?
-
Delete him. It’s THAT simple 🙂

I messaged back to him saying that I had understood he wanted to give me compliment but that it was coming out so to say creepy and that he should keep in mind that we are colleagues. Then I wished him a nice weekend. He replied right away with that he was sorry if I had found it annoying and that they were only compliments. I said that it was alright for this time but that if he wants to show his liking for some of my posts, then it’s more polite to use the button for it. He replies that he doesn’t have to press the button because he likes them all (followed by a 😉 ). I said it’s up to him about “like” but that now I had told him not to write flirty messages. He says they weren’t flirty (hmm…) but that he won’t write again. Then he wished me a good weekend.
He didn’t seem upset which is good, now I can just hope he really got it. Time will show. Let’s wish for the good and that I won’t have to block and talk to HR.
Thanks a lot for all the input and concern. I appreciate it a lot!

Well done, let’s hope he stops making you feel uncomfortable.

Ps. Web Junk and others, this is a great site with people being so thoughtful and helpful to fellow polers 🙂 ty

Hope the situation is resolved.These discussions on here are great even if we do not always agree, whether unfortunate topics like this or whether SS, Chrome, TG or powder coat is the best pole coating. (Its Chrome. No wait Powder coated. or maybe SS!) What I like is everything being discussed with yes All the different opinions. On Facebook you only get people clicking the Like button or extremely brief no-substance comments. It also seems that many on here divulge more about themselves than other sites including failures. Cannot explain how helpful it is to see others doing the same move mistakes as me and then the comments with corrections not to mention the confidence encouraged by everyone.
Thank You! -
If you block him, he might create another account to do his creepy things. Just reply short and cold like “thanks” and put him in a list so he can no longer see your pictures and updates. I had friends who always messaged some compliments instead of clicking like. That bothers me a lot, like they’re on fb with a low profile while trying to stalk girls and nobody knows. I told them I cannot response to all messages as I have too many of them everyday. They still stalk me publicly (all those “you’re sexy” comments, etc.) but lose their interests after a while.

I already replied to him, you can see it a few posts up. Later I noticed that he had unfriended me. Since what he was hoping for wasn’t going to happen, it was the right decision.
Some of the “creeps” unfriend me when they realize that I’m not interesting in a conversation with them. So sometimes these knots resolve themselves. My collegue hence did everything the typical creeps’s way by sending private messages instead of liking and then unfriending when the hopes fell. lol. If they only knew how stupid it looks when those messages pop up after you’ve just posted a picture.
I’m learning from them though. This makes me understand what not to do if I’ll want someone’s attention on facebook or similar places.
