The coworker in this situation would be guilty of sexual harassment.
If a coworker repeatedly asks you out for a date, despite knowing that you are not interested, she could be guilty of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is a form of unwanted sexual advances or requests that occur in a workplace or professional setting. It includes any behavior of a sexual nature that is unwanted, unwelcome, and creates a hostile or intimidating work environment. In this case, the repeated advances for a date go against your expressed lack of interest and can be considered unwanted and potentially create an uncomfortable or hostile work environment.
To determine the specific legal implications and actions that may be taken against the coworker, it is advised to consult your company's policies, human resources department, or an employment attorney, as laws and workplace policies can vary depending on the jurisdiction and organization.
