I have this co worker that's starting to get on my nerves. I work in big building and he works in different department from me so I don't work with him everyday since I am casual and don't have a permanent position on one floor. I float on different floor replacing the full time workers. I am friendly with him and whenever we see each other in the building or in the parking lot we say hi to each other. However,whenever we do work in the same floor he always make remarks of me and telling me that I need a man. It all started when he asked me if I go to gym and I said yes and he asked why I then told him that I enjoy it and I like to stay in shape. He then said all you need is a man, he will do the job as a joke .I told him that I have someone in my life and that's not the point.

Now when ever I see him he insist that I don't have a man despite telling him before that I am seeing someone else. He said he doesn't believe it .I don't know why he cares weather I am single or not .He always bring it up whenever I work with him. Last time when he was leaving the floor going in the elevator he said ``I found a boyfriend for you, you have been alone for too long then he went into the elevator .

Its starting to get on nerves because I am type of person who don't like to discuss my personal life regarding who I am dating at work expect with close friends outside work.I don't see how that has anything to do with him. I am not interested in dating him and I have never showed any interest in him .I just treat him just like how I treat other co workers.

Should I tell him that my personal life is none of his business?

Sounds like he is trying to tease / flirt with you in some way. Remember when you were little and boys used to pull your hair? Sometimes guys think a fun dynamic (girls too, I guess) is for them to do stuff like that... You are supposed to get all giggly / squealy 'I told you I have a man! Silly man! My man is a great great man!' Blah blah blah about your man. Or similar.

Or... You could just roll your eyes and walk away.

Or... You could ask him how's his wife.

I don't know. People ik. Shame they can't see you are uncomfortable and stoppit already.

Tell him that you met a man who might be interested in him. He sounds really annoying, I'm sorry you have to deal with someone like that.

[hvert]

You could try telling him that the joke has run it's course and it's not funny anymore.
Or the next time he says something like that, ask him what makes him think you aren't beating them off with a stick.

Do you get the sense of whether or not he is just an idiot saying something irritating or is he really interested in your availability?

[Heididazzled]

@hvert yes I think he is interested in my availability or else why would he care if I am single or not.E verytime we work together he makes a remark of me not having a man.Last time he said when he was inisisting that I don't have a man and ``I am waiting for you``i just laughed it off.

Don't "joke" back. You go to management and file a complaint. In the report include the names of anyone who has overheard his inappropriate remarks. Let them deal with it.
