A man was giving me dirty looks in the train then he moved and sat near me and started flirting. I got scared & my body naturally tensed up and he started yelling at me “why are you tensed up why are you tensed up calm down are you scared of me”😭😭 and i was like i am not tensed up man im chill and he asked for my number 💀 and i gave it to him because i was in fact scared & when he texted me i just blocked him. I feel like men can’t flirt no more🤣🙏

work any type of food service job as a woman

you will experience a lot of uncomfortable flirting from especially middle age men (doesn't matter if you're like 16) so idkk what's been the most uncomfortable

[Summeroflove]

Yeah I agree. I’ve given men a guide on how to know if the waitress is being professionally friendly. Fake flirting for tips or genuinely interested. Lol.

[Summeroflove]

But the worst thing is seeing old men hitting on girls who look like they’re in high school. As well as men with their wives eyeballing the waitresses.

Do some waitresses exploit this for tips? Some. But a lot of times they’re trying to be professional.

[Summeroflove]

What sucks too is that unless someone crosses certain lines. These women have to sit there and take the bullshit. Because what happens if a woman expresses she’s uncomfortable or ignores these men?

Yup…. Many times they complain to the manager that the waitress was rude and she is the one who gets into trouble for it. Especially when it’s happening commonly.

[Summeroflove]

Service, retail, and any other public facing job has this issue. Most are out there working trying to make a honest living not whoring themselves online to have to deal with creeps all day or however long their shift is.

The worst part is that it’s never the ones you want flirting either. Like okay if a dudes a piece of eye Candy and he’s not annoying…. I mean. But seriously now.

[Summeroflove]

But it’s not only women who have this issue. When I started my first job in retail there was this kid we will call Joseph (not his real name) 16 year old guy. Really nice dude by the way but he was handsomely gorgeous (no homo everyone would agree) he was tall. Just perfect hair. Muscular and there would be old women hitting on him. Two adult women who were cashiers were fired for sexual harassment. Had gay dudes hitting on him.

Yeah…. Anyways. Weird story

The two worst were, first when I was a waitress when I was 17, and a middle age man kept coming with his sons who were younger than me, and he was just blatantly flirting with me in front of them, he didn’t say anything SUPER over the line, but he called me sexy and referred to me as cutie and honey and things like that, and always commented on my clothes in slightly uncomfortable ways, what made it worse was his age plus doing that in front of his sons.

And, my fiance’s (then BF’s) boss’s boss was flirting w me A LOT with his wife present, I think he wanted a three way and I think she was open to it also, and what I thought we were talking about was me babysitting their kids although the kids were not present during the flirting at least.

I could prob list some more but those two are enough I think!

[Rei13]

Two that immediately come to mind. Both were of guys that liked me and started flirting with me when my SO was present. I don’t like being mean to people, I just pulled myself from the situation as quickly as possible. Only good thing that came out of that situation is that it confirmed to my SO that he could trust me

[Avicenna]

When I was a grad student, one of my professors made me quite uncomfortable when she flirted. Not because I wasn't attracted her, but because I was and knew that was a line that couldn't be crossed.

[OneViewpoint]

Bar fight with her husband. Mind you she was flirting with me. I was ignoring her. She’d had quite a few drinks. My misfortune she and her girlfriends were all clustered around my seat. His misfortune he chose the wrong moment to try to earn his drunk wife’s respect.

[CleverGemGirl]

I'm ALWAYS uncomfortable when any guy who IS NOT my type flirts with me. It's actually beyond uncomfortable. It's annoying and makes my skin crawl.

I believe in treating everyone with love & kindness but I'm always upfront with the person when I'm not interested. There's a wise way to go about it and there is also a time to just be silent & remove yourself from the situation when it makes you uncomfortable.

[Summeroflove]

So you’re right about that…. I also try to be respectful of everyone unless they can’t take a clear no for a answer. As far as I’m concerned if someone shuts me down I want to find someone who wants me for me anyways. But I also get that some people are more universally unattractive.

I respect someone who can be respectful but still blunt with people. They aren’t cowards or stringing anyone along. If someone can’t take no for a answer then they deserve what happens.

[Summeroflove]

Most men would by lying as well if they said they had a girl they find attractive verses one whose not flirt with them…. Not saying you can’t be nice but yeah

[Summeroflove]

But even attractive people should have BOUNDARIES…. Maybe just because some people you get away with it doesn’t mean everyone will put up with it.

[NicholasRedone]

@Summeroflove multiple rejections like anyone gets in their life from multiple different ladies

The awkward ones also was when ladies would clearly eye ball me with doe eyes 👀 👀 and I'd be like, either I'm ugly, they're spacing out, they're weird/got issues, or they think I'm a 10/10 - uhhh?

[WonderingManII]

It was at work, and because it was at work, I couldn't participate, I just had to take it, and hope for the best. Or I could of told on them, and then lost the friendship that way. But as things end up I lost the friendship anyways. If it ever happened again, the person who tries to flirt with at my work, will be reported right away. I learned my lesson the hard way.

[RedInnocent69]

Hmmm, not really uncomfortable from my perspective, but had someone tease me about flirting with a hotel clerk - odd since it was a guy - and another time, walk out on me when she was pissed about a waitress… I guess I’m the the flirtee more than the flirter 🤷‍♂️😂

[Elliegirl]

Honestly, the most uncomfortable was being rejected. I did everything short of throwing myself at him, but he told me to stop trying to flirt with him because he just wasn’t interested in me as more than a coworker. I was so embarrassed!

[Renegade_Sailor]

Being big strong and muscular, I have gotten hit on a lot, the women I don't mind but really don't like it when men do it.

[Summeroflove]

Well it really depends on whose doing it. There are men and women who don’t want to get hit on especially if they’re taken. Others beg for it even if they at times pretend to be annoyed for some they feed off it.

Many I would say… depends on whose flirting. Male or female

[JudahTribe44]

The most uncomfortable flirting I've ever experienced was when I was pregnant with my now 6 yr old. I worked at a gas station & this older guy came in often just to see me & it was common knowledge that he had a thing for pregnant women... Well of course he did & of course I was! 😫 Like working in public ain't stressful enough... I had to page the manager to give me a break every time the dude came in because I felt like I was on the menu of a very hungry lion. Lol

[Pearl222]

Invading my personal space and continuously trying to touch me even when I made it clear I don’t want to be touched.

[thatgirl2000]

My brother in law who was currently with my pregnant sister, which was he's baby. Yuck. She's still with him after I told her. I talk to her very much anymore

[Summeroflove]

Gross. His thang in your sister and then putting it into you. 🤮…. But this is more common then some people think. Their wife or husband is banging a relative of theirs and coming home to them. 🤮

[thatgirl2000]

He didn't bang me he was hitting on me there's a difference. I told my sisters he was hitting on me, and she stayed. It messed up our relationship because it was so awkward afterwards sucked. And yeah that would be disgusting people actually do that shit

[Nikki1989]

When I tell men I am married, and they don't want to hear it.

Some men have no morals, and will shoot their shot regardless.

[Panthero80]

When I was a substitute teacher and this middle school girl had a crush on me.

[Summeroflove]

Happens especially to younger men. You just know what lines not to cross and report immediately if someone’s crossing that line

[Reina04]

At her moknfuneral. It was my friend dad I was 16. Creepy.

[Summeroflove]

Ehhhhhh

[jahaims]

I more so feel bad than uncomfortable when rejecting someone who got the courage to flirt or ask me out. Especially when they are more shy/timid.

[jeta33]

I got scared when a guy started flirting me in the public place

[Anti_Trump]

Fear. A big burly convict threw soap at me.

[Anonymous]

No girl ever flirted with me :(
