Just wondering aloud, maybe the young dirty old man is afraid of tinkerbell and wants to get away as well. Maybe his staring is a way to keep her away from him, distance himself from her.
Please tell us your dress code in the office. Is it executive style or casual?

Well, I think it does make a difference (dress code).
If she's dressing different that the rest of the employees, it makes a big difference.
Perhaps he staring at her clothes because she's out of sync with company policy. Does she wear low cut blouses or dresses? Halter tops? Does she wear those crop tops? Is she a middle aged woman or a young woman? How old is he? Is he younger? Older? Married? Single? Is she married? Perhaps signals are being given out without her knowing they are. It happens! Perfumes, powders, blinks, little gestures that you're unaware of, crossed legs that swing, etc. Body language plays a big part here too. I'm sure she's not sitting with a shawl draped over her and a veil on her face.
He may be nearsighted. I am and if I don't wear my contacts or glasses, I stare and stare until things come into focus. Maybe he has the same problem or he has a form of epilepsy where he stares instead of having a full blown seizure.
Let's get down to the nitty gritty here. She hasn't said a word about herself other than she's uncomfortable. Maybe he is too.
Evidently this woman has worked with this man for 2 months without a complaint. Why choose now to say something? Makes one wonder.

Wheather you are a troll or a damsel in distress, you first need to
polish up your presentation and have a credible problem to present.
It's hard to believe, for example, that an adult human being could not
handle the trivial problem that you present or that this individual,
who works for a large corporation is not able to write a complete sentence.
Style is another problem to master. It is clear to me that you have
been here, done that. I can look at a page from a classic book, for example, and there is a very good possibility that I can tell you the author of that page.
For a lost and floundering damsel, your style is so~so. You seem to
lack the experience that most damsels have...floundering or not. Age and experience
may help. Right now, the level is around 12.
To be a good troll is a skill that takes a lot of practice. So keep
on trying. You know the old saying, "Practice Makes Perfect."
Some day, you may be proud of yourself. But not right now.

Harassment?
Sounds more like Paranoia.
Has an adult in the business world really not had a similar situation to deal with?

I think you ought to go ahead and lock it, Sara. It appears to be a "troll thread" to begin with..this tinkerbell apparently registering just to post this topic, and then disappearing. It can't be helped that the posters here are thinking it smells fishy.

Jerry12 wannabe? Not nearly as good, nor as entertaining. Once this gets locked up, we will be blessed with her return for a post about how untrusting we are and she was only asking a question and what meanies we are.
Sorry Sara. Back on topic...no, its not harassment.
