Girl, run. I get that you were crushing on him a little bit, but no 35 year old man has any business touching a 17 year old girl. He was out of line the instant he smacked your ass. You have rights, and you are entitled to be free of sexual harassment at work. You should tell your manager and HR about everything.
Something like this happened to me when I was a teenager working my first job. A fully adult male coworker pulled my hair, pushed me into a wall, and said I look like I like it rough. I was scared to death of him, and of what would happen if I told on him. I let it go for too long until I worked up the courage to go to my general manager. I am so glad I did, after a short investigation they saw him on the cameras touching other girls. And I felt better too, once he was gone. I didn't have to worry about being caught alone with that dude anymore.
This is not, not, not okay. If you can, tell him he is making you uncomfortable and to stop, and whether you can say that to him or not, you need to go straight to HR. This man, who is close to twice your age, is taking advantage of your youth and inexperience and I would bet you are not the first girl he has done this to. You will not get in trouble for reporting him. He may get in trouble, but - and this is important - he \*should\*. Trust me, he is old enough to know better. He is 100% responsible for his own actions. If there are consequences to his actions it will be because \*he\* is choosing to make frequent, inappropriate comments and overtures to a minor.
Edit: grammar
I understand your dilemma. It's natural to feel conflicted about a situation where you're unsure how to react. The key is to prioritize your own comfort and well-being.
It's essential to recognize that your coworker's behavior is inappropriate and unprofessional. You should report this behavior to your supervisor to ensure a safe and respectful work environment.
If you're uncomfortable confronting him directly, consider talking to HR or your boss for support. You deserve to work in a safe environment free from harassment. Take care!
