(16f) I currently work in a resident care facility you could say. It doesn’t necessarily always have the right people working the job they hire questionably.
There’s this man around 27-28m. Since I started, he’s kind of flirted with me, but I played it off recently. I started working in his department more where we’re often alone he’s been flirting with me a lot and I have flirted back a few times, which I know that doesn’t help my situation granted he has acknowledged the age situation and he does not see a problem with it.
Today I asked him to give me a ride to work. He showed up at my house an hour and a half early, but I didn’t think too much of it. We went straight to work. Nothing was small talk in the car and got to work on our tasks a little while later we started talking he brought up how I flirt with him. I laughed it off because it was kind of getting weird to me.
So later we’re outside taking a break and we’re talking by his car I brought up how someone hugged me and their hand went in my waistband lol ( innocent not weird). And how it was so awkward to hug them. ( it’s an older person ). And he brought up a question: who can put their hand in your waistband?? I went inside after that I just laughed it off
So later on, he brings up the conversation of me flirting with him again I can’t walk away or anything like that I’m in the middle of a task he brings up how he knows I like him and about how we can keep talking and such until I’m 18. And he has things figured out…
By him having things figured out. He borrowed up how he’s waiting for his girlfriend to kick him out of the house and he admitted it to not being able to see his kids if that happens, but it would be “worth it.” and he’s apparently not happy in his relationship.
Now I will admit once again i was harmlessly flirting with him. But I didn’t know it would be taken to this point. Now onto my feelings about everything.
I was not going for anything serious with him so I don’t know where he got that idea from.
I feel kind of awkward around him which it does make my job harder to do. ( when he’s not doing it. )
I know it’s adherently wrong, which makes it even worse trying to hide that something like that that’s going on to my parents.
I also let one of my younger female coworkers know he gave me a ride to work. She’s upset with me because she doesn’t want anything happening to me. I also brought up one time to my boss how he was flirting with me me and my boss are very close for context and she tried to play it off because she doesn’t think he’d do that but she also told me not to flirt with him either.
I just think this whole situation is gotten out of hand. I don’t really know what to do. I don’t have a ride most days as I don’t have a working car right now, and my parents refuse to take me to work. Comments? concerns? Advice, please.
