Be Firm
Oh, it seems like only yesterday when I thought someone who was 25 was old! Now I'm an old mama, same age as TechieGuy.
There is really nothing you can, you just have to learn to be firm because guys will be hitting on you for many, many more years. A simple smile and "no thanks" should work for most guys. And when guys get pushy, just keep saying "no thanks". Don't let them make you feel uncomfortable or push you into anything you don't want to do.
And, if a guy is making you uncomfortable at work, it really is harassment, which is illegal. You may not feel comfortable telling your manager (which you really should), but you could at least tell the guy to stop harassing you. Maybe you can say it in a funny way that lets the guy know that he's crossing the line.
Well now I really feel old after that rant! Good luck!
