that I can remember. The creeps didn't care and kept it up, I'm guessing because it was about power. When I refused to date them, they apparently got off on creeping me out.

In this case, because it is at work in a small, catty group, I would then be forced to make up a story and carry it for the entire work group of a dozen+ lab techs and lab assistants. I simply can't pull off that kind of game. If I'd started there with a band on I could have, but they all know I'm single. It is too late now, and I really had no way to anticipate this. I'm almost 60 now, I really thought that phase of my life was over. I guess it won't be until I'm dead, and then some necrophiliac will fixate on my poor corpse.

You are right that they know him, more or less, but in that case they should have known better than to encourage him, should realize how inappropriate their behavior was in the situation, and should have not provided him information about me. It was wrong on every level, and there is no excuse for it. And I believe our manager is aware of his history because as soon as I complained, she asked, "is it mark xxx?" I didn't even have to name him!

Yes, he's worked there a long time. This is a small, rural community so the locals all know each other. They are protecting him, which I understand, but they also have an obligation to protect anyone he fixates on. It's complicated, too, because there are multiple organizations involved: the hospital, the multi-county healthcare org, and the lab, are each separate nonprofit companies.
