I was leaning almost fully into the aisle to get away from him. Also, the seats were all full, half with actual sleeping people so switching wasn't really an option. I was so uneasy and scared at that moment because I didn't know how he'd react to me pushing him off and I didn't want to make a scene. Wraps his arm around me while he's "asleep" and then starts kissing my neck. 2 hours into the 5-hour bus ride he says he was "tired" and then falls asleep. We agreed to look together (why not?) and ended up sitting next to each other and chatting. He didn't know but he was also looking for the same line. Asked a random guy where the line for where I wanted to go was. One time I was taking the greyhound bus for the first time by myself. I don't ask random men for directions anymore. I know it's just a few delusional, ridiculous guys that do this but Jesus.what on Earth makes them think this behavior is ever going to get them anywhere? - u/DiscoLemonade0107 Reddit Every couple of months he'll pop up trying to start a conversation, usually being rude or lewd, long after I've stopped messaging him. I've found if a guy messages me and I send back so much as a polite 'hello' that guy will never leave me alone. Like what does this guy think I'll go home and excitedly tell my gal pal, "Guess what? I met a guy at a bar, and, you won't believe this, he wants to have SEX with BOTH of us!! What a rare and exciting offer, we need to take him up on this!" - u/strych91 Do you know how saying you have a boyfriend is normally pretty good for making guys go away? Well, saying you have a girlfriend just leads to a bunch of gross questions and offers of "If you're ever looking for a threesome, hit me up" (gag).

Mentioning that I have a girlfriend, weirdly enough. u/stink3rbelle A woman being stalked - stock photo Frankly, you pulling a medium-large object from my grasp makes me think you're trying to steal from me or con me. You don't take something from someone's hands unbidden if you actually want to help them. When I said "Jesus Christ" he went on, "Oh, like it was such a bad thing." Yes, dude, that was absolutely a bad way to try to help someone out. I held onto it and told him, "no thanks." He kept pulling on it. It was a little awkward but not heavy at all, and some dude came up to me and tried to take it from my hands, unasked. Today, apparently, I shouldn't have carried a nightstand down the street. Then I looked behind and I saw the guy I smiled at 5 minutes before standing there, looking at me, he looked a bit angry. Without looking behind, I sped up and crossed the street toward the group of people. So I noticed a group of people a bit further on the other side of the street. So I moved to the side and slowed down a bit to let him pass. I didn't notice straight away that I was being followed but I noticed after 5 minutes that someone was walking very closely behind me (heard food steps and saw their shadow). So I smiled back politely but kept walking and forgot about it. In a street, a guy smiled, as people sometimes do. I was coming home quite late from a party. u/darlinglark Waitress serving beer to man in bar - stock photo/Getty images I didn't think that the phrase "leading someone along" was so literal, but okay. We hadn't spoken, but we'd made eye contact a couple of times on the hour-long train ride, which seemed to be enough for him. A guy followed me from the train station to where I'd parked (about 10 minutes), and when I got in my car he started to yell at me for leading him on. I'd been out that day and was wearing cute and kind of revealing clothes. The worst thing is when I walked back to my car alone and in the dark.
