In my experience on the public transportation, I find that men are very how I can put this very virile. Whether it’s the romance of whisking away through traffic (25 mph tops) or the thought of running into a new love or it could be that they’re perverts. Most likely girls the latter is true.
More than likely if a man is staring at you on the bus then, he’s a creep. Yes, you are an attractive female and even if by American standards you’re not a blond bomb shell, you will get hit on. So what do you do? Do you indulge him? Do you get angry? Do you use mace?
Well, it’s going to depend on your circumstances. If you feel like putting your life on the line by engaging in flirtatious and amorous behavior with a total stranger, then go on. But this is your official disclaimer, it’s a bad idea.
You want to be safe and though, you may see someone who you find quite attractive, believe me the moments are few a far between, he is still a total stranger and you don’t know what his intentions could be towards you.
Thank you but I’m not interested. Smile politely and nod.
Give a fake name. If he’s asking your name it is none of his business and if you don’t feel like being that bold by saying, I’m not giving you that information! Just give him a fake name.
Give a fake number or email. If it has gotten this far you are indulging this man and steps one and two have not been taken.
Back Off! Are the strongest words a woman can use in public and send a man running with his tale between his legs, especially if it’s loud and you’re cute and petite?
Get off at a well lit, busy stop and wait for the next bus or train. If you feel that you’re being followed by this man or you don’t want him to see where you get off. There is always another train or bus.
Text your friend to come meet you. I’ve done this just to let my girl know what was going on and where I was.
Yell. This would be if you feel that you’re in danger.
Be smart and safe. He may be cute and talk of whisking you off to Morocco, but if he’s on the bus he ain’t got no money to take you nowhere. Be safe, look cute and always wear your shades.
