You may be put in the incredibly uncomfortable and awkward position when a married man makes a pass at you.

Do You Know this Person or Is He a Stranger?

Depending on the situation, it can be uncomfortable either way, but I feel it would be more awkward if you know the person. If the person is a stranger, you know you don’t know him so he may have a history of doing this that you’re not aware of. And you may not even have to see him again. Or you can easily avoid the situation.

But when you know the man in question, how do you respond? What if he’s a friend or co-worker’s husband? Can you spell yikes?!

You Will Have to Tread Carefully

It’s tricky ground to tread. I don’t know if this is right, but I wouldn’t necessarily say anything to your friend or co-worker. She may choose to believe you or not. And if not, then your friendship is put on stake and may never be the same.

It is her personal life and perhaps she already knows or maybe not. If you really feel strongly and compelled, then tell your friend.

If you can simply avoid the situation, that maybe better. But if it persists and there’s no way avoiding the situation, then I would much rather suggest you talk to the man in question.

Remember you can talk to your parents or a close friend about this if you want someone to listen to you and get some advice.

Have you been in this situation? What did you do? Please share with me in the comments.
