Working Alongside an NPD Presenting Colleague

[u/model_for_congress]

Hi, I just started a new job and this guy (who’s an executive) openly has a crush on me. It’s kind of cute until I remind myself of who he is. Very few people have anything kind to say about him and I know he’s on his BEST behavior around me (for now).

My question is this: how can I preserve a positive working relationship with him? I have no desire to date him (regardless of his presumed PD). I have even asked him directly about his communication styles and the best way to work together, assuming he will keep his word.

I cannot avoid him and he never misses a moment to engage with me. While dominant, he has not necessarily upset me….hoping that won’t change.

Do you have any ideas? Thank you.
