Warning: This post mentions suicide.

Sadly, this is something that’s all too relatable, even in 2024.

A man and woman driving in a car

The conversation seemed to flow just fine until I told him about my long-distance relationship.

He suddenly got very cold and would hardly speak to me for the rest of the drive.

It was one of the most awkward and uncomfortable drives of my life.

A coworker gave him my number, and he kept messaging me persistently until I blocked him.

Finally, I told a regular how uncomfortable he was making me (management wouldn’t do anything).

I don’t know what he did, but I never saw the creepy guy again."

One of the guys seemed pretty nice, and we started talking.

A man writing in a notebook

I wrote that I met a guy but only wanted to be friends with him.

I didnt respond to any of them and deleted him from my phone.

After I said no thank you, he sent more long rant-y messages until I blocked him.

“I have so many stories about men being creepy.

I quickly backed away and left.

I’ve made sure to steer clear of this guy completely since then.”

“When I was in high school, a ‘friend’ asked me out on multiple occasions.

A moving truck with boxes and people's belongings

I kept turning him down.

One time, he asked and said if I said no, he would end his life.

He wasnt at school for two weeks.

(I have an energy limiting illness, so I was TIRED.)

I lived with my parents so they let him in.

I felt so trapped by him.

“I met a guy in high school who was very straightforward that he liked me.

I was very adamant wed never be anything more than friends.

I could not delete him out of my phone fast enough.

Hes married now, and I always wonder if she knows what a creep he is.”

PSA to any men who might be reading: DON’T ACT LIKE THIS.

Respect boundaries and respect women.

It’s that simple.
