Today, after many years of being single, I finally worked up the courage to ask my coworker out. He said no and gave me "fair warning" that he's going to report me for sexual harassment. FML

I don't even want to imagine what he'd do if you accidentally brushed up against him

Unless you invited his sweet ass to an orgy, I don't see how on earth this could be warranted.

I'm sorry he rejected you, OP. I wouldn't worry about the harassment claim though, because even if he does file a report, nobody is going to do anything about it. The most they would do is try to separate the two of you and/or just have a brief talk with you to see what happened. Again, sorry that happened to you. Rejection sucks.

16, while I wish what youre saying was true, companies, schools and society like to err on the side of extreme caution on the side of the victim nowadays, and anything that looks weird is usually addressed by getting someone with no marks on their record. This could be a big deal, so OP might want to strategize around it.

I once had a co-worker fabricate lies about my sexually harassing her. I thought HR would dismiss it immediately, because I trained new employees about harassment, amongst other things, and so obviously I would be the last person to harass anyone. Instead, and clearly without any evidence to support her claims, I was suspended without pay for two weeks. I told them to take the job and shove it, and ended up getting a better job anyway. But yeah, it can be a big deal.

I feel like if a guy asked a female coworker out it could easily get twisted into sexual harassment

But when a guy asks a girl out..... You know it always ends with her winning the situation. -_-

It's not sexual harassment if you just ask him out one time, it is if you asked him multiple times and he's said no to all of them. Make sure your boss knows that.

I'm sure sexual harassment must fall within certain parameters and asking someone out isn't likely to count. I wouldn't worry. they're just an asshat

What a douche nozzle. Any reasonable HR dept will throw that bogus harrassment charge in the shredder

Don't worry OP nothing gonna happen to you he's a man and they won't believe him because of this skewed notion that guys can't be sexually harassed its sad that it works that way but with feminism pushing its girls are innocent and boys are Satan model in to business you have nothing to worry about its a sad truth

Down with feminism with their commas and full stops not wanting men to sexually harass them then harmlessly asking them out down with this sort of thing
