Hi!
So I've started a new job a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! However, there is a particular colleague who is making me feel really anxious and uncomfortable. He works in a different class to me and sometimes I have to go to that As a class cover supervisor (I work as a supply teacher).
At first he was just chatty- I caught him looking a few times but thought nothing of it. On my first day however, he asked me in front of 6 other colleagues really loudly if I had a boyfriend. I felt so embarrassed in front of everyone and I knew what he was getting at so I stupidly lied and said "yes".
Anyway, I only saw him on my breaks in the staff room for the next few weeks and everything seemed ok! Then I took two weeks off work on leave... he had found me on tinder and not only liked me but superliked me! 😨 I feel a weirded out around him anyway because whenever he sees me he runs over to me and stops and asks lots of questions.
So before I was back in work, over the weekend, I saw that he had added me on Facebook. He does not know my surname and nor does anyone else because I don't have a name tag and the school I am in everyone refers to your first names including the kids. Also, we have 0 mutual friends. I was really creeped out and angry at this point and made a tweet saying how it's strange when people you don't know add your full name or have mutual friends add you on Facebook. He has since retracted his friend request and I'm worried he has maybe looked me up on Twitter as well somehow! Oh another thing: my Facebook and Twitter names are my middle names not surname so no idea how he has found me!
He stopped me again in the corridor today and I felt so so awkward! I was in another job last week and he kept asking where about it was and I feel so uncomfortable! Everyone knows his mum as well and loves her. But- am I being harassed? If so how do I deal with it?
Sorry it's long- thank you!
