Opinion needed on how to handle work situation

I will send my boss an email, and CC to the grad students who actually make the trip to the centers once a month. This way they are aware of the situation.

I know his brother is still around the city because he told me that his brother has been involved with medical decisions. I always try to keep a smile on because I know it makes me seem more approachable. So I will keep this in mind when declining any advances. In addition to this I will probably ask my supervisors to have new participants meet me back in the assessment room because I know if he just sees me sitting he takes this as I have no work to be completed. This turns other participants off from coming up to me to discuss something, or if they’re new they won’t interrupt to introduce themselves.

My understanding is he has talked this way with select past workers. They have to seem friendly, approachable, and in his eyes “pretty”. He has even gone as far to help past workers with homework, which I would never allow since I wouldn’t want to confuse myself even more. I guess I will just to have to watch what I say to him, and my wording. For me it’s just frustrating when you say you need to go and he won’t stop talking. Although I have just walked away when needed.

Thanks for the advice again! Hopefully, my boss can come up with something too.
