I want to thank everyone who PMed me and evoque who wrote in this thread. I'm generally a fairly private person when it comes to things not on the superficial, so I will keep this short.
The reason I am sharing this is so that none of you (especially the younger gals who haven't reached the workplace yet) go through what I've gone through in the past 3 weeks.
I love my job. I never knew I could love a job so much. However there is one thorn in my quest to loving my job. I'm being harrassed by a male coworker who is in my training class. In normal day-to-day life, I'm a nice quiet girl in environments where I'm not too familiar with my surroundings. So I stayed to myself the first week and then people began to talk to me a bit more by week 2. Included was the one and only male in my class (who as far as I know is gay. I know this due to his need to talk about men in a sexual way).
Anyway, I hate long posts so I'm going to keep this as short as I can. He began to make me the target of his affection. First it started with him noticing my wonderful fashion sense. Then the fact that I strut in my 4 inch heels. Then he started going into the 'that's my wife', and 'I love you' and staring at me constantly and his necessity to sit next to me or touch me. At one point in week 2, he wrote his name loves my name on the white board.
Things progressively got worst and the last draw for me was Wednesday. At one point in the morning he came right next to me and placed his cheek on my cheek and airblew me a kiss. I asked him not to do that anymore. Later in the day I had to ask him not to bother me any more seriously. That's when he started to get crazier than usual. He started saying 'You don't know me' and singing this song by Beyonce on her new album (sorry I don't know the name of it).
Not only that, but I became the butt of others jokes. Whenever he tried to get on another lady in our class that day, they would say 'I'm not my name'. By the time I left on Wednesday I was almost on the verge of tears. I hadn't told anyone of what I was going through because I thought 'maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing'. That evening I told my mom who has a masters in HR. She reassured me that this was a big deal and I should go to my trainer immediately the next day and let her know about this situation.
The next day I told my trainer. She was actually pretty surprised because she thought I was ok with it. Yes, everyone was aware of what I was going through, but thought I was ok with it. Another reason I didn't say anything was because I didn't want people not to be my friend because of my problem with this person. I told my trainer that I didn't want her to say anything at this moment because I needed to tell him to stop one more time. If he didn't I would let her know so she could take the next steps.
She already has a problem with his professionalism so this could be a very big deal. Anyway, my trainer hasn't been with us for the past 2 days because we've been in a seminar. During that time, I've tried to keep my distance and avoid this man. Unfortunately I got stuck with him on a trivia team during the seminar where he had a need to get close to me. Arm to Arm.
At one point during the day I told him: 'Do you see this girl?' She is at least an arms length away from me. Look at you. I can put my hand in your face. Can you please move further away?' Of course he just laughed it off and didn't. He's unprofessional, I don't get his sick sense of humor, and I don't like him being that close to me or staring at me.
I have 2 more weeks of training left. I'm thinking of just avoiding him for the next 2 weeks and then when I move off to my dept I won't have to see him that much anymore. Well I think that's enough for now. This was very difficult to write, so please be kind.
Thanks for listening.
My mother (who is also in HR has given me some good advice), but I would like to hear a few more ideas before tomorrow or Friday. I hope to tell everyone about my issue and experience soon, but I would like to get a conclusion before I do that. Until then, if you are in HR and have knowledge about proper procedures in most work related situations (or can find the info for me) could you let me know through this thread or by PM so I can PM you my info? 
I am glad you were able to get some good advice on how to deal with this, and thank your for sharing it so we can avoid going through the same thing.
