Unless you asked him out by planting yourself on his desk and spreading your legs open to reveal your lack of underwear, I doubt his claim is going to go anywhere.

What a dick...

WTF, total douchebag. don't let that one get you down get out there

He's a bit dramatic ..dating within same work enviroment can be tricky. It can work though. I'm proof we've been together for ten years! Good luck op :)

Perhaps asking outside of the workplace may have been a better route

you found the reverse feminazi. i didn't even know that was a thing.

Asking a person on a single date isn't sexual harassment. Asking him overt and over and over and doodling his name on your desk blotter...then you might have an issue.

Diiiick.

For all saying that the coworker going to HR is "no big deal", I must not work I corporate America. You can be fired for a mere complaint of sexual harassment. Companies have to pay big for sexual harassment suits, so it's definitely something that's taken seriously. Dating coworkers is not always allowed at companies, so before you start asking your coworkers out on dates, u should check to make sure that your job doesn't have policies against that. It's not worth it at then end of the day. I've seen employees forced to resign for dating on the job. So if that coworker was serious, I would be a lil worried.

Never get your lash where you get your cash!
