Being single at work has become exhausting.

It’s honestly getting annoying. Several of the men at my job know I’m single, and it feels like some of them use that as an opening to flirt.

One coworker keeps trying to get me to hang out with him outside of work. My director, who has a wife that also works at the company, has made comments that come across as flirty, for example, he once told me I have “nice posture.” Another older coworker who works in another dept (old enough to be my dad) said something like, “Your husband must be lucky to have you,” which felt like he was trying to figure out whether I was married. Then there’s another guy who has a girlfriend but still comes by my desk to ask basic questions that could easily be answered elsewhere, just to start conversation. I know they all just want sex but it's getting very exhausting.

I'm quiet and polite so I feel like that's why they try to take advantage. Most of my colleagues are married or have partners. I cannot go to HR because I cannot risk getting fired in this economy.
