The other day I was rushing out of work to make it to the forum at Harvard on time. I ran to the T and was the last person to squeeze in. Out of nowhere a voice behind me startled me. The conversation went a bit like this:
Man – ‘WOW! You’re TALL!’ (Nice! The ol’ eyes are working! Good job!)
Me – ‘Yes, yes I am.’
Man – How tall are you??
Me – ‘5’10 1/2’
Man – ‘So, you comin’ from work?’
Me – ‘Yes’
Man – ‘You must work in an office’
Me – ‘Yes I do’
Man – ‘You’re really pretty’
Me – Thank you?
Man – ‘I’m getting off at the next stop, mind if I get your number and give you a call sometime?’
*The packed train is starting, I am sweating from my run to rush on the T, and am now bright red*
Me – ‘I’m sorry, I actually have a boyfriend’
Man – *Gives me the stink eye*
A – Never willingly put yourself in a situation like this. B – I was not giving off any sort of ‘I’m interested in you’ type vibes and with my uninterested (although not rude) answers he should have known when to stop. Don’t ask for the number at that point. D – DON’T hit on someone on a overly packed, hot train – it’s just not gonna work. And lastly, E – If someone says they have a boyfriend/girlfriend, don’t give them the stink eye – that’s rude. They’re either telling the truth, or lying to avoid hurting your feelings, so just end the conversation with a smile and keep your dignity.
