I rejected my colleague 6+ months ago but he's still pursuing me. How do I make it clear he makes me uncomfortable?

[Greenfresca]

I rejected my colleague as I'm not interested and have a boyfriend and I made this clear when I said no.

However he still messages me, asks me to hang out, and seems to laugh at everything I say even when I'm not joking.

It really truly makes me so uncomfortable. I try to avoid him outside of work but I'm wondering what else I can do while keeping it amicable and professional.

Not sure if this changes anything but I manage him and he's slightly older than me.

I've done about as much ignoring as I can do, honestly to the point of being rude. E. g. he comes up to my desk and stands next to me until I acknowledge him. The longest I ignored him for was about half a minute or so.

My boss actually knows about the situation too but can't do anything as he's not actually doing anything wrong.

Well you prob have a couple of avenues here. One is just to completely ignore him. Eventually he will tire of the non response and no reaction from you. You are there to work and not socialize so you don't have to do anything other than your job. The other thing you could do is talk to your supervisor. I would try the first thing before you go that route. You want to avoid making the workplace between the two of you hostile as much as you can. I would just completely ignore him. I mean don't even bother communicating with him unless it is necessary for work and even then keep it to the job only. If that doesn't work then you are going to have to take the problem higher up the ladder so to speak.

Tell him I don't like you so can you leave me alone. He will understand then.

You need to be direct and unambiguous about being left alone.

Ignore, is what I’d do.

Solution is very simple, just Block his number, and kick on his ass and tell him :fuck off:
