      Ugh. A classmate in university thought it was “fun” to get in his car, go out driving, pick a random car, and then just follow them around until they parked before driving away. A predator in the making, that one was.

    At a bar or in the street:

    I don’t want to flirt back, but I am afraid he’ll just keep getting more pushy or forceful. Anyone around can play diversion please?

      I feel this, it feels dangerous to make a man upset or angry, or even disappointed - so you try to be super nice and polite, but then he just misreads your politeness as interest.

        Because “no” is not in the vocabulary of so many men it’s honestly a bit terrifying.

    I’m only following you home so I know you are safe and don’t have a stalker.

        My apologies I did not notice the server or community.

        But I definitely want to be inclusive of all people!

            I dont think it has anything to do with the content, but my lack of reading the sidebar and rules. This is supposed to be a safe space for women & trans, as a CIS man I accidentally “invaded” this space. Its all about respect, and perfectly justified IMO.
