Ugh. I hate guys that just don't get the hint. Creepy creepy men that need to go die or something.

I was standing at the bus stop this evening reading a book while I waited. A guy came over and says, "I like your socks."

I thanked him quickly and went back to my book. I wear awesome socks so I get that sort of thing a lot.

Then he said, "I like your glasses."

I thanked him again, this time warily, and tried to bury myself further in my book.

Then he said, "I like your hair."

I did not answer him at that point. He had firmly stepped over the line into creepy land. I tried to look very focused on my book.

He asked, "Is that a good book?"

I made an affirmative grunt without looking up.

He continued, "That's a pretty bookmark."

I impulsively grabbed the bookmark and hid it under the next page.

Then he said, "I like your ring."

To this I responded, "Thanks, it's my WEDDING ring." and went back to my book.

Then he finally got the hint! He went, "Oh," and stopped talking to me for the rest of the time.

Why do guys never pick up on "LEAVE ME ALONE!" body language? I was definitely making it clear I didn't want to talk to him! What a creepy creepy weirdo!

Yeah that was a creepy guy. O_o You should early on, and loudly say, "NO MEANS NO!" When everyone turns in his direction he'll run off. :)

UGH. I hate it when guys do that, though I don't think I've ever had someone be so persistent about it. I don't know if it's that they really can't read social cues/body language or that they don't care but either way it's really really obnoxious! Especially in a situation where you can't leave, like on public transport. DX
