Since I can't sleep...
You just can't be nice to people anymore!

Walking home from work one day, in a generally good mood, I made a fatal error!

I smiled. At a stranger.

I didn't think anything of it. To me, it was a greeting/acknowledgement, not an invitation. So I smile and make eye contact for a split second with the nice Arabian man, go upon my merry way.

Four steps later, I'm grabbed by the shoulder and spun around by this man, who I'd thought was human but was now evidently a rapist and a murderer and a mugger and all the other bad things you think about in that split second. Turns out, he really liked me.

He decided in that moment of eye contact and friendly smile, that I was pining for a man like him. Got to give him credit for actually making that jump. Anyway, after making me nearly wet myself in fear, he introduces himself and tells me he is going to walk me home. I told him that it wasn't necessary and I was perfectly capable of walking myself home.
But no, he then follows me all the way home. It was dark, and cold and there was no one to look beseechingly at for salvation.

He tells me he loves my breasts in my ever so sexy work uniform. I have beautiful eyes, beautiful hair, and a nice personality. If his idea of a nice personality is cowering in fear and a quavering voice trying not to offend him so as not to get attacked, then I feel sorry for any girlfriends he may have had.
He kept asking for my phone number; I kept telling him I didn't have my phone on me. He then somehow got me to agree that I would meet him at "this street corner right here at 3pm Saturday so we can go get drunk and have a good time".

Maybe it's a culture thing, but being told that if I'm not there he'll go to my work(he's seen my uniform under my coat) and get me... well it isn't really a turn on for me.
Neither is being told I have massive tits. Yes, I'm perfectly aware of that. I have to put them in a fucking bra every morning and carry them around all day. Thanks for telling me though.

If you want to get a (nice) girl to like you, you don't have to make them feel like a goddess straight off. Just get on with them, make them aware you find them attractive. The glances and looks and appreciative comments are fine. Grabbing a girl by the shoulders that you don't know, in the dark, when she's on her own, and then proceeding to "walk her home" whilst getting closer and fondling her breasts with your eyes... You may get a female, but you won't get a lady.

yes it's a cultural thing.
the western girls in the middle east are harassed to the point of criminality.

What a filthy beast. That's why pepper spray should be legalised. Carry a brick in a carrier bag in case he reappears. Hopefully next time there'll be someone like me around to calm him down.

this happened to me
The guy grabbed my arm in Starbucks and tried to make me sit down...when I wouldn't, he then followed me round the Metrocentre until I told a security person at WH Smiths.

It actually made me nervous to go to my car in case he followed me there too. I swear I wouldn't have thought twice about running over his feet. And I am A Nice Person.
