If by professionally you mean avoiding all contact to avoid any false claims, you betcha.

It was a setup. They aren't normal.

I never asked her age. It was told to me.

Not at all. I was set up to be fired. End of story. From here on out she gets to see the professional *** side of me.

Too many coincidences. The jealousy games, then telling me she's 19, then me completely cutting contact with her, then her comment. Plus I noticed she only works 4 hour shifts which I know from being a minor in retail means you are in fact working underage labor hours.

Not at all. They haven't said anything. I think they (minors) were trying to convince me she was of age thinking I would ask her out and end up getting fired.

Turns out the whole situation was set-up by the younger kids to get me canned. She is in fact a minor. From what I can gather she was under the suspicion that I was flirting with her by thanking her for bagging for me (on my first couple of days while I was getting the hang of ringing up merchandise and bagging simultaneously mind you) and she didn't have to do it because her position entails no such thing. Yesterday when I returned to work she began bagging for me and after she finished she made a comment along the lines of "try it again" before walking off. I tried telling her after that I didn't need any help bagging as I have gotten better but she is insistent on coming over and bagging for me on occasion now. Looks like I narrowly missed getting fired on this one.

Coworker confirmed her age. Year older than I thought. Not like it makes the situation any better. She's been blocked on social media and as stated I don't have any plans on interacting with her from here on out.

No I'm not married, not in a relationship, not actively dating. I'm working on getting my life together. And the situation seemed to have resolved itself for now. She was extremely unhappy with me when I came in to start my shift. Luckily she left shortly after I clocked in and I avoided all contact with her. Well see what next week brings.

Because I can pick up on body language and the fact that the co-worker kept looking back and smiling at me while they were talking was pretty tell as well. I'm not an idiot. I'm just in an extremely uncomfortable situation that I'd like to nip in the bud as soon as possible. And if you need all the juicy details another "minor" co-worker mentioned her name last week and did a little double eyebrow raise as he did so they're basically dropping hints.

So basically an girl who I am assuming is 18 years old has taken a liking to me at work and I'm concerned about it. I say I assume because at first I thought she was underage but then she started referring to other minor employees and minors too so I the best I can guess is that she's 18. Me on the otherhand, I'm about to turn 34 in 17 days. Anywho. I may have invited this upon myself by looking at her too much (eye contact) and thanking for helping me out with my duties at work. I just started here last week and yesterday she and another co-worker were trying to make me jealous by speaking casually amongst themselves withing earshot of me for about an hour, then suddenly she came over by me and tried to make conversation when I asked her if she knew where my relief was. When I ended the conversation she went back over the other co-worker and they pretended to make plans for after work. I just handled it by telling the other co-worker to have fun tonight. But I'm wondering how to best handle this extremely young co-worker who is half my age without just blurting out "Hey you're a child, I'm a adult - it ain't happening".

The sexy underwear is a dead giveaway. She went out looking for sex that night. Sorry man.

Well I guess with my experiences I can tell if someone is genuinely disinterested or actually having anxiety issues. It's a bit judgey and taking things too personally to just jump to conclusions and assume they aren't into you at all.

Hence why I backed away from those statements, yall got butthurt and took it personally. What I was getting at is marriage is far too risky these days to just enter a relationship and be like "yeah I'm looking to get married". It's not a safe thing to bet on unless you think you can spend the rest of your life with that person and vice versa. But most people these days just put a number on it - we've been dating or living together x amount of years so why not get married.

33.

Well coming from someone who had severe anxiety at one point and struggled with eye contact - I wouldn't take it personally.

The appropriate thing to do would of been to comfort you and try and cheer you up. Not be a complete *** and make you feel like ***. Dude is a piece of work.

I second this. I just got banned from reddit last month for trolling the dating and relationships subreddits. -shrugs- Boredom makes you do weird things.

Smdh....

Can't agree more.

I swear I hear of this time and time again with young, immature girls. Treated badly, personally take the blame, pursue the guy anyway just because he seems exciting and put up with the abuse. It's sad as can be.

Wow. You apologized to him? What the *** for? Run far away. Drinking and smoking heavily and being borderline emotionally abusive. Seems like a recipe for an abusive relationship. Dump his ass and find someone else.

Never said women had anyone else lined up. There are cases of it happening - but in most cases they get fed up and leave. In cases where there's a strong marriage or children involved they may try counseling first but typically once women get sick of someones *** they're out of there. Anyways I'm not getting into this back and forth again. I've got two I can ask out that don't work together at all, so when I return I shall have at it.

That pretty much proves my theory that men stick around because it's harder for them to find someone else than it is for women.

Hence why I haven't asked anymore out. There were two others that were overly friendly and ended up being married. I'm talking following me around everywhere and even touching or grabbing my hand when I was asked to pass them something. Noted. Lmao.
