I'm starting to get really pissed off with a guy from work. We shall call him Moyles, for he looks rather like Chris Moyles' less attractive brother.

There was some teasing at first, which I accept, because there's always a bit of teasing. That's a part of joining a workplace. But an example from today:

I had a sweet in my mouth, and asked for Moyles' help on what I was doing. So he came over and leaned over me and said "don't speak with your mouth half full, fill it up!" Aheh. Obligatory grin, to show willing. Plz to be helping with my work now. Then he said "I like a girl who can talk with her mouth full. If she can say I love you with my - " mime. Involving tongue in cheek, and attempts at saying it.

Yeah.

That kind of thing happens quite a lot, since his desk is right next to mine. And it's reeeeeally starting to annoy.

I figure I could attempt to convince him I'm gay, but the jokes'd probably just get worse.

Alternatively, I could tell him I'm asexual, but I don't know if he'd understand.

'You know, Moyles, dear. Like you, only by choice.'

This is what comes of getting my tongue out at work. *facepalms*

No kidding - in the US the guy would be liable for sexual harrassment. I understand wanting to keep things smooth and friendly at work, but I think you need to let him know he is crossing the line and you don't appreciate it. Your sexual orientation is none of his business. He's making you uncomfortable and it needs to stop.
