Like its not my fault when he asks me how my day is and i have another story about a man giving his number to me or something similar. It kinda fucks with my day having to deal with it and i hate lying that my day was good when it was not

See I would want to know that this is happening and I would like to talk it out so they feel heard but my mind wants to find a way to fix it even tho that’s impossible and that’s the annoying part not you talking about just the fact that I can fix the issue for you

Seconding User #1, as long as she was comfortable telling me and wanted to tell me, I'd want to be there for her. I'm so sorry you dealt with guys acting that way, that's really sick of them and it's awful because they are making what happened about themselves. You deserve support I'm also so sorry you're dealing with people sexually harassing you, that's really awful

No problem at all! Your mom's only right if the guy is a POS/misogynistic. If he isn't misogynistic, he's gonna be supportive! Any guy that would be mad or jealous is someone to avoid, and I'm so sorry she told you that

I'm so relieved to hear that and wish you two the best! I'm still so sorry to hear about everything going on though, it's awful, and I hope you're able to stay away from them and/or report them, whichever you decide is best

Thanks!! It doesn't really work like that though. My best option is to just get through it politely and hope to not see him again. There are just too many risks involved with any form of perceived "retaliation." If I can sense he will accept rejection I will do that but that's not always the case unfortunately. Also a lot of this happens at work and i just have no clue how to navigate that tbh

I understand where you're coming from as I've been in a similar position before, and I hate you're going through that. Wishing you all the best and hope things turn out okay
