I was at a grocery store earlier today when this cocky, rude and very arrogant guy approached me. He was nice looking I admit but I wasn't interested. All I wanted was my tub of well deserved ice cream after a good workout at the gym lol, don't judge me! Anyway, the first thing he said was, hey there pretty lady, got any plans tonight. I ignored him and walked away. Then, he followed me to the next aisle blocking my buggy and said oh you playing hard to get and this time I simply responded, just not interested, excuse me. thinking that was the end of the conversation, I checked out my items and headed to the car. Needless to say the guy followed me and was very persistent. It scared me because he came up behind me and said allow me load these in your car.. I responded with I'm fine, thank you though. Then he went off the rails saying what's with you women these days, you think you're too good for me! He started causing a scene and honestly I was frightened. He then blocked me from getting inside my car putting his hands on the hood and said what's it gonna take to get your attention. Then, another guy let's say my guardian angel stepped in after he saw the look on my face. He deescalated the situation by pretending to be a friend of mine until the guy stopped harassing me.

So im 14 and im scared. My period has been off. Its been getting shorter and takes longer to come in. It used to be every 28 days for 7 days heavy. Now it comes...
I'm really glad that person stepped in and helped you. People in general nowadays can't accept a no and think everyone is just playing hard to get when they in reality aren't Interested but they can't accept that because of their ego. I would recommend you to always take something with you that makes you feel secure that you can put on your key or smth for the next time. I hope that doesn't happen anymore tho..
Replyit was definitely something I wouldn't wish on anyone. I was more that shocked a guy went through that level of following me to my car.
ReplyWhat a weirdo! If there is security at that store tell the security person about him and what he did. Give his full description and then if you see him again point him out to security. The security person should warn this weirdo not to go near you or anyone else that he doesn't know again, and if he does the police will be called. I had a man stalking me several times in a supermarket so I told security and the security man gave him a warning so now he leaves me alone.
Replyit was a terrifying experience ! I hear of it happening all the time and I never would've thought i'd be in that type of situation to actually be followed to my car. i'm always approached but not at that level.
ReplyI'm so sorry this happened to you. It is a scary world that this sort of thing happens on a daily basis. These days, us women can't leave the house or go online without being harassed. So many men strongly believe they deserve our attention, and see our bodies as property that they can take.
Something that I have considered a couple times, if you are open to suggestions, is pretend to be interested when they escalate like that, get their full name and number, and then report it to the police. What he did was harassment, he physically threatened you by not allowing you access to your car, and he stalked you when you had made it very clear that you were not interested.
At the end of the day, I am just glad you are physically okay, and I hope that he hasn't caused you too much distress.
Replythanks for the advice! hopefully there isn't a next time to where I'd have to do that but i'll keep it in mind. I really felt helpless when in actuality I've taken numerous self defense classes but I can't seem to understand why I froze and didn't defend myself
ReplyWe are taught a lot about fight or flight, but really, our body has a third defense mechanism; freeze. Sometimes our lizard brain knows it's better to just freeze to avoid getting hurt. There's nothing wrong with that response.
