A bit of a dilemma
Where I work men are in a minority as we're outnumbered about 10 - 1 by the women but it never bothered me much.It still doesn't of course, except for one thing now - I've got another admirer.
Now I'm a happily married man and quite proud of that so I'll never, EVER be looking around for two simple reasons - I love my wife dearly and I've absolutely no reason whatsoever to even contemplate any kind of liasons-dangereuses.
I got a Christmas card on the 24th - left in the office for me and it was anonymous, but I know it was from her.
Simple enough thing normally you'd think, and so would I - normally - but the sender has a "thing" about me and, despite the fact that my job doesn't, (or shouldn't), bring me into contact with her, apart from maintenance-related issues, she seems to be everywhere I go, bumping into me at almost any opportunity.
She's a very nice lady but it became obvious to me that she was attracted to me - I'm old enough to read all the signs; even more so perhaps, as I'm deaf so, what do I do?
I can't be rude and ignore her; that'd be a bit cruel, but her best friend at work knows too - I know for sure because of a look she gave me when her friend was talking to me yesterday!
I'm hoping this will fade with time like the last one, although that one still gives me those smouldering looks with her huge brown eyes, (God it's a hard life being a Maintenance Man!).
Any ideas?
I've tried the old play-with-your-wedding-ring thing - she ignores it!! stevmk2

I would just be polite when/ if you come into contact with this person and ignore any 'unwanted behaviour'.

I had a problem like this before where I work, although some men might think "What problem?!"
I was outside working when the other one came out and the end of her shift, about 4 months ago.
Her husband / partner / boyfriend (dunno - don't care!) was sitting in his car, waiting, but I didn't realise who he was until this lady came out.
To me it seemed like she made a point of saying "See you tomorrow" to me, in front of him, and I got a glowering look from him - I hadn't done anything - but he glared at me every time he saw my after that!
I'm hoping it'll all blow over - and soon!
I've had worse but won't go into that - not relevant. stevmk2

Re: A bit of a dilemma
Steve, I reckon although someone is already married, that doesn't necessarily mean they are happily married, so she is probably wanting to know if she's in with a chance. I think the best plan is to try and bring your wife into every possible conversation, talk of her very affectionately, say no one could measure up to her etc. The hussy will soon get the message because no woman would want to hear you constantly praising another woman, so she will get the message that pursuing you is futile. Job done without being unkind.(p.s. If that fails - tell her to sod off.
