she wants a payout not a relationship

Have you ever wondered why she wants you NOW - after so many years she that did NOT want you??
Think - economic uncertainty - her age or failing looks - her never ending search for financial security perhaps? Are all women evil? Certainly not. Is this woman manipulative? Possibly!
Why is it that NOW you have a promotion she comes around to your workstation and brushes against you... THINK why? Have you developed a razor sharp wit or a six pack that can be seen from another department?
Perhaps she is hoping you will be foolish enough to try something on her... its quite likely she will encourage it for a while , even condone it but ... BE WARNED.
In this economic crisis she can claim SEXUAL Harrassment and get a retirement lump sum or pseudo 401k on YOUR reputation. If you touch her all her financial responsibilites and problems are solved.
NEVER - and I repeat NEVER talk to women at work unless it is work related. Do not get involved with her and do not encourage her. I can not emphasize this enough.
YOU may think that you can claim reverse harrassment and maybe so, but, I warn you that no one will believe you because you're a man and our integrity has been destroyed by the man-hating press machinery.
Also: You can't tell her your NOT interested or advise her that you are afraid of her motives as this may provoke her to proritise her claim for sexual harrassment and move her plan into action. The next you may hear is her scream "OMG, I am being raped" in a shrill voice!
I suggest you document her every word, every email, every advance and advise a few people (in writing) e.g. a doctor , policeman, Lawyer of her "going ons" or alternatively , tell her that although you're flattered, you have recently discovered that you are GAY!
I know you're not gay but telling her might stop her from ruining your life. Seriously think about it. Better to be presumed gay than a proven Sex predator?
BE AFRAID - this predatory female is BAD NEWS!!!
