Uncomfortable

Some people just don't get it. They keep opening their mouths knowing they're crossing a line.

The other night, I was on the pub patio enjoying a nice spring night with my friends. The guy who stared at my tits to the point I had to walk away at my friend's birthday party a few weeks ago was there at another table. Then he sat down right next to me. We said hello and I continued with the conversation facing the other direction.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see him staring at me. He'd look at me then look away then look again and look away. It was the same scenario as a couple of weeks ago - like a tennis match. It had to stop.

I turned around to him. "Why do you keep staring at me?"

"I don't know," he said. "I try not to."

"It makes me really uncomfortable. Please stop."

He apologized. Then he apologized again "for everything we've been through."

"Thank you," I said. "But we haven't 'been through' anything."

He even asked if we were still friends and extended his hand to shake it. "If you'll stop staring at me," I answered. This is the man who said that night he has pneumonia. But he drank most of the night with a lit cigarette in hand that he took from someone else until he closed the the bar down.

This isn't acceptable.

Neither is this. Last night I learned about the brief exchange my other friend had with the woman who's been chasing after him as well as others. He hadn't even said hello when she leaned down and whispered, "I'm horny."

He had a great response. "I hope you have good luck at your next bar."

Repeating bad behavior and making others uncomfortable is never okay- especially when it involves my single friends or me.

Love to the single girls,
