The story

I'm a 22-year-old woman who recently got a love letter from a 43-year-old male colleague at my workplace. I've been with the company for three years while he joined less than a year ago. We've barely spoken—just a handful of short conversations centered strictly around work. He has mentioned wanting to spend time together outside of work, but I've always told him I'm quite busy with school commitments.

In addition to this, he's approached several of our co-workers who know me outside of work, attempting to gather personal information about me, all of whom refused to divulge any details. Some colleagues say I overreacted with my blunt response to his letter, calling me rude, while others support my directness in handling the awkward situation.

I'm curious, how might this scenario unfold if it were playing out on a reality TV show? Would the dynamics of public scrutiny and the inherently dramatic setting influence my response or the actions of my colleague?
