Hi all,

I have an issue at work place. One of my coworker who is a guy plays all kinds of mind games. He pretended has a crush on me for some time (We are both in long term relationships) After pushing him back as much as possible for quite some time and avoiding him, we started to be normal. I realized that he plays this game of crushes with other girls as well. I thought he should be OK with me and accepted that I am not into crush game thing and maybe we can be just normal coworker and so I started to treat him normally. He even acted helpful and normal and friendly with me, which gave me hopes that I can consider him as a nice coworker. Alas! One day, out of nowhere he started ignoring me when I was arriving and was the time for saying good morning. His new game was ignoring me at the morning greeting time but being OK and normal the rest of the day. I think that there is something really wrong with this guy and he can't handle a normal relationship at work place. He needs to play mind games to make people confused and mad to feel in power. This boosts his ego. He has a very low self confidence. I should add that he has some good knowledge in many things and although he gets good compliments on them and he likes it still it does not seem as enjoyable as these mind games to him. I also noticed once I ignored him big time, he changed his game and stopped ignoring me. My question is how to handle this guy coworker? Should I ignore him more than what he does to me to satisfy him and make him stop the ignoring game towards me? Should I keep saying good mornings and good byes and pretend I do not know what is happening ( I did it for some time and he makes it worse and worse until he sees a reaction ( me ignoring him big time) ). This is so sick. Please help me! I do not have the option of avoiding him or anything. We all work in one room closely. I would really appreciate your advices!

Thanks,
Sarah
