Here is the situation. I work at a children's center. I am a male. One of the kids mom is always flirting with me. Today the mom asked if she could call me to "talk." I asked what about and she said she wanted to "talk" to me. I said sure. I didn't know how to to take in the situation at the time. The way she was looking at me and the way she was putting an emphasis on the word "talk" I think she was meaning more than just talking. In any case she kept on asking if it was really ok for her to call me. I was afraid that one of my coworkers would hear so I didnt answer after her last comments. I ignored her. I don't know what to do. She comes there everyday to drop off her child. We would talk as what i thought were friends. Should I talk to her to clear the air? Should I just ignore the whole situation? By the way she knows I am married because I had told her. I don't know if she is married because I have never asked. I also have a fear for my job if she gets angry at me for ignoring her last comments. She left with a bitter taste in her mouth. Can someone out there please help.

You know if you really really think about it, if she knows that you're married and she is still flirting with you, she doesn't really respect you, she's just looking to fill some "lack" within her.

If you think this woman is going to cause problems with your job, it's best to get your supervisor aside and have a talk with him or her and tell your supervisor about the situation. Beat that woman to the punch. That way, if the woman ever does try to cause problems with your employment, your boss is fully aware of the situation and can handle it if anything negative ever comes up about you.

I'm really really sorry but the name of the thread is very misleading... LOL
I think you meant to say "Woman came on to me"....
But in any case, I think you should be as professional and courteous as possible while still being clear.

Thanks for all the advice. I was thinking of talking to her directly and clear the air. But i dont know exactly what I would say if I did. Any suggestions if I go that route. I dont want to be rude to her.

I also take it that she's not the hot is she.

Most guys would probably be proud if a hot chick was "crushing" on them.

I think that's what the kids say these days.

Bang on, Chowhound. You've hit the nail right on the head there.

She is actually attractive but I dont know if by me rejecting her would make her feel. I think that I want both of us to come out of this without any conflict. I always try to resolve any conflict I am in and I also always take into consideration the other persons point of view or feelings. I think that is why I am having trouble knowing what to do in this situation.
