So I stopped talking to a colleague a while back.

Now few days ago; when everyone left for lunch, he walked to my desk, called my name whilst I was in middle of eating my lunch.

He said he's sorry for what he's done and ask for forgiveness.

He said it's been 4 years since we last talk.

I am getting very paranoia at the moment. Why suddenly he wants to talk again after so long ?

He wants to mend every cubicle he hurt

Nah, he's not ill.

After so many years though ... Don't he have something better to do with his life ?

Did you change up your look and start getting cuter? ?

Still look the same... I think.

Though when we went for company function few months ago, I did look more presentable.

Seriously... that shallow ??

I dressed very casually at work, loose black pants and loose top.

He lied before and speak very unprofessionally, that's partly reason I stopped talking to him.

And now he just dropped by my desk, wanting to resume the long chat.

He said When is your Birthday again ?

Remember we were going to get you a Vibrator.

That he made me a normal human being, and now I regressed back.

I seriously regretted my decision to forgive, thinking that talking to him might make work related issues easier to discuss. Now he's thinks we are friends again.

We are not, and will never be.

Just now, he said I once stood on top of my desk with short skirt because of cockroach.

I don't recall that because I never wore skirt to work.

What the hell is wrong with him ?

Unless you really feel uncomfortable (in which case you should tell him to back off a bit) just ignore it. It doesn't seem like harassment at the moment, so nip it in the bud: tell him you forgive him and it's a matter to be forgotten, and politely give the impression that you aren't open to advances that are beyond the realm of professional friendliness.

If people get the impression that you aren't open for business, and you aren't ambiguous in your polite yet clear communication of this, only the truly unwise will pursue the matter further in your particular environment. In which case your next point of contact above you can be informed, or failing that, HR.

That's not what this post all about!

I did get half naked once because of a roach.

That thing flew and landed on my top, I took it off whilst screaming.

This person lied to my boss before about me.

So yes, I am concern about my reputation.

I am uncomfortable ... because I don't talk or joke like that and he knows that too.

I even changed my working hours so we don't stay together with no one else in the office.

It's gross and unprofessional. He always threatened to hug me at any given time knowing I am not a touchy feely person.

Thank you for your advise, it's good. I might have given wrong impression I suppose.

No HR here.
