Yes I definitely felt pressure to be nice, especially with it being my job. No I wasn’t attracted to him but I had to communicate that in a neutral polite way. It was a big achievement for me. I think I’ve managed it, he still says hello but last time I saw him he didn’t try to prolong the conversation.

I do appreciate your identifying with my experience nonightowl but I didn’t appreciate that this went off topic with other posters.
