There is a man who I have worked with who over the past few years and have gotten to know. One day he slipped his number into my notebook and would make random comments like "call me." I never did. He gave me his number a few more times and said things like "if you ever want to talk..." I still never did. He now hugs me frequently and tells me that he really likes me. Call me stupid, but of course I am thinking he is hitting on me. BUT, there are 2 catches: 1. he is lebanese--do his actions mean anything different in his country? and 2. He is married. Where is all this going?

Tell him that his behavior makes you uncomfortable (assuming this is indeed the case). Ask him to stop. If he doesn't, then report it to your human resources department and/or your supervisor for their action.

Well...maybe I am being naive, but I really wasn't sure if he was hitting on me, so it didn't creep me out. I thought we were friends. There is no way I can report him...he is a VERY respected physician...kind of the hero of the area hospital. So, no one thinks this may be just be nothing?

It could be nothing. Some people tend to be more affectionate to others (i.e., in a platonic way). But, it's still not necessarily appropriate in the workplace.

Do you see him treating any other women this way? Is this behavior a norm in your workplace?

(And yes; you can report him if the behavior is a problem... )

Yes, you can report him. If you just don't want to "cause trouble" at work, don't let him hug you and tell him it's not appropriate if he tries. From working in hospitals for 15 years, I can assure you that lots of otherwise wonderful MD's cheat on their wives, and it sounds like he's got that in mind.

He is friendly to everyone...hence...everyone loves him. As for the part about giving people his number...I do not know. I told my best friend that I work with, and she doesn't know what to think, either. She was quite suprised as well. It just sort of seems "off character" which makes me think maybe I am making more than it is. I guess time will tell, right? I just don't want to get in a messed up situation, ya know?
