It was very interesting for me to observe my own reaction to this thread.
When I first read what you wrote, I though "fire. immediately." I think I was just angry that someone would be so off the mark when they are a new hire. And the milf thing made me genuinely angry.
But as that anger passed I realized how much of a gross overreaction that is. People pursue workplace romance all the time. The thing that sucks about approaching someone is when it is welcome, you are golden, and when it is unwelcome, you are a creep. It is incredibly hard to get through an unwelcome approach without any awkwardness.
So really, this guy needs to learn manners, and to chill out.
Unless he continually repeats the behavior, I don't see why there's any real long term problem.

I actually read a comment here at HN by such a "golden" man and his experiences (women from his workplace approached him often), but unfortunately I cannot find it right now. Keep the workplace separate from romance. Heck, even outside of the workplace things can be risky (I had been called a stalker by a female neighbor just for existing, uh).
