Whenever I sit by the reception area, he stops by a few times and tries to have a conversation with me and when I was to busy to talk to him he just stands there by me. I just ignored him until he went away. The same thing happened when I was in the mailroom. I keep noticing him hanging around the hallway whenever I pass by.. I got so suspicious and so annoyed that I had to avoid him. He's a nice guy but I don't like the way he keeps hanging around when I'm there.. He's not my type and he's a married man. I told my colleage about it, he told me to just ignore him and if he makes me feel too uncomfortable to avoid him, which is exactly what I've been doing. If he notices maybe he'll get the message that I'm not interested and will leave me THE HLL alone...

One thing you're doing that you may not notice... you're
noticing him. And when you notice him... he notices you. Every glance of the eye! Even if you're just checking to make sure he's not noticing you... it may be perceived wrong. I say no eye contact and completely pretend he doesn't exist. I've been in this situation before where my awkward glances at someone (like the janitor) were perceived wrong. Give that a shot and see if it works after a week or so. If anything, it will help you to concentrate on more important things than a creepy janitor.
