Does your company have a Human Resources (HR) department?

I would report this guy to HR. Since your boss is not doing anything to stop this guy.

You should not have to feel uncomfortable at your work. You need to set boundaries. Have to tell Human Resources about this. I know that might sound scary, but it really isn't, and it won't be hard. One quick phone call or e-mail to HR and then you'll be done with it. Take you 5 minutes total to get peace back at work.

You can do it. You are strong.

Try to ignore the guy as best as you can. Pretend he isn't there. You did the right thing in telling your boss, otherwise his actions would continue to get worse. Keep your boss posted to everything he does that offends you! Write everything down from the very beginning and keep this list updated in case you need it for future reference. Make sure your boss has a copy of this as well. Good luck.

This is classic sexual harassment in the work place. It is not okay what he is doing, he is crossing the line. If you are in the USA, the courts have upheld the laws against sexual harassment in the workplace. But it is also somewhat gray area because he has not touched you. Many supervisors wrongly think sexual harassment as defined by law in the USA is about touching. So boss sees it but she doesn't know what to do or you have not given her copies of your supporting documents, the text messages, the log of his phone calls on weekends, the LinkedIn invite, etc. Maybe he has never touched you but the flirty messages and him continuing with the LinkedIn request after being told to stop are examples of his issue. Please start to print out all the screenshots you can. Never delete his text messages. Find a way to go back and get the old messages from your cell phone server if you can. You need ammunition. Put a complaint in writing to HR and to the boss with all your supporting documents. And the best thing you have done is to say stop to him. Also remember the word "no" - this is important that the victim be clear in their no and their stop words. You may need to speak up in meetings to say "Stop staring at me, it is sexual harassment" or similar. When he comes into your office say "Please leave my office as this is sexual harassment and I am saying no to you" when he goes over the line. Or get up and leave your office (lock up your purse). Google search the topic sexual harassment in the workplace and you'll find lots of legal information for the victims and what the law says. The only way to stop this guy is to force your HR to take action against him. If they don't fire him after you give them supporting evidence, then the company is legally liable for any lawsuit you bring against the company. Those who are sexually harassed at work tend to feel shame and guilt and want to be nice about it. This perpetuates the myth that SH in the workplace is okay.

100% agree with what urbangardener said. I have seen similar things like this occur in the lives of many women on DS, over the years and they all started with the way this guy is starting with you and all of them progressed to stalking of these terrified women so be proactive and nip this in the bud before it has a chance to get worse.

I have taken screenshots of everything and the text messages. I did block him on LinkedIn, so did not get a screenshot of that. I'm not sure Linked In will qualify, as it's business related, but I did block him. I just graduated from college and am changing careers, so he doesn't need the info. I had noticed that before I blocked his cell number, I was getting links to porn on my phone, from various numbers and never had before.

The horrible thing about this is that I've been through it before in a severe way-twice. Ended up leaving both of those jobs. Unbelievable. The students we serve can't stand him.
