Theres this man in one of my classes at school. I have made it clear that I am only in my second year of college, right our of high school, so he knows that I'm around 19 or 20. He's at least 10 years older, maybe more. He's constantly touching me, my arms, my hair, and giving me hugs that I just don't return. I've told him to stop but he just responds with "But I like you..." I know I need to be a little more assertive and tell him to cut it out in a more forceful way, but I don't want to be mean. He's a nice person and I don't mind talking to him, but the physical contact makes me very uncomfortable and it's gotten to the point where I try to avoid him if I see him on campus. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to be nice about getting him to stop touching me and that I'm not interested at all? My mom also thinks that if it gets worse that I should consider filing a sexual harassment claim. Would this actually be considered sexual harassment? Thanks so much in advance!
