There are quite a few freaks here in Vancouver, Raven.

I know eh? Granted I see the same peeps on my regular commute, but yesterday was a one-off early afternoon trip back from a meeting downtown so the chances of bumping into the same faces are rare, I would think. A red flag also came up when he told me he's a counsellor--I'm thinking because counsellors work with people, should he be better at communicating/approaching people?

"I see you don't have your umbrella with you."

#######?! What guy says that when he's trying to pick up a chick...especially when it's NOT raining outside.

I figure if I bump into him again, I'll report him to the transport security and also notify my employer's security (I work minutes from the seabus terminal).

I told hubby about it and he dang near had a fit, lol. But seriously, when a woman says she's HAPPILY MARRIED, that the guy's cue to stop bugging her!

imo it shoulda ended right here:

Red-head: I would like to ask you out. Are you married?

Ravenesque: YES!

[Wyatt's Torch 45]

Yeah...that IS creepy.

I mean...the guy was probably harmless. Lonely and struck by your apparent beauty. But still...there's a point (usually, you know, after you mention that you're MARRIED) where he should just blush, lick his minor wound and bashfully apologize.

There have been a couple of times where I've seen a beautiful woman and I've told her that she's beautiful...and that it's NOT a come on, but just a compliment, nothing more, since I have a S.O.

He should have just left it at that.

Raven, I just wanted to let you know I think you're pretty... no BEAUTIFUL!

Hey Raven... wanna go for coffee sometime??

*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

That's the perspective I take too--when guys give compliments, they're not always coming on to ya. I thanked him politely for the compliment, because that's just a nice thing to do, but dude went nutty after that.

So where were YOU yesterday, Froggy? Hmmm...

[Revenesque 2]

Well I'm glad I'm not overreacting, lol. Hubby is now paranoid and calls/texts me during my commute.

Also, ANY guy who is looking to pick up a gal NEEDS to know that mentioning one's mother in the "pick up" conversation is one of the come-on cardinal sins. Sheesh.

LOL, thanks (friendly sarcasm).

Why don't you just Tiger Woods me and beat with a nine iron????

*me loves you best, Mal*
