so i’ve been going to the same starbucks for like four months now and i’ve had like maybe one or two people approach me while I’ve been studying/writing but usually it goes like this:

“can you watch my stuff while I go to the bathroom?” or
“I see you here all the time and I’m here all the time hi” five minute conversation

but i’ve never had some full on pervert/weirdo/frightening guy approach me. and usually i’m like pretty straightfaced about that stuff but I fucking got out of there as soon as I was able. I was that freaked out and still am.

first off he sat down at the table next to me and was like, “Hi i just need someone to talk to.” Honestly, I’m not a shy person. I can hold a friendly conversation with anyone. Now if this guy had missing teeth and looked like he just walked off the street covered in dirt or was carrying a crack pipe THEN i’d probably been like, “uh no. sorry.” But this guy looked normal (and he he looked young, not like creepy old guy) and hey, what if he needed help? what if he desperately needed human interaction or he was going to jump off some bridge—idk. I didn’t want to turn someone like that away.

so after mentioning how he doesn’t know what he wants in life a bunch of times, I finally decided that this guy is high out of his mind. when he asked me if he wanted to hang out after, I said “no.” I took this as he’s a lonely guy, but he was in his (early?) thirties and I was starting to feeel very uncomfortable. He already had asked my age, where I lived (LA “where in LA” LA) and mentioned profusely how lost he felt and was looking for compassion.

SO I KEPT TALKING. I mean, it wasnt’ all uncomfortable conversation, as long as I had it under control. I mentioned going to one of the local high schools. He said he knew it, but I sensed that he could be lying. That made me more nervous. And then he asked AGAIN if i wanted to hang out. and i flat out said, ’ IDON’T WNAT TO HANG OUT” and then he was like “so you don’t wnat to hook up” an d i was like omg you are so high and just you’re freaking me out. I didn’t say that but I laughed and was like “no.”

then he aske dme like twice if i haad a boyfriend and then asked what if was like to have a boyfriend

this is where i wanted to flip the table and flee

“what did you do with your boyfriend?’

-really fucking suspcious and grossed out but doesn’t want him to jump off a bridge- “What do you mean?”

“idk like did you guys kiss or…?”

thus i yelled in the middle of starbucks “YOU DONT’ ASK PEOPLE YOU DON’T KNOW THAT21243!@#@$”

and then he kept apologizing. before he said that he’s not aware what to ask or what not to ask people and he knows that people get nervous when he talks to them (and i was like YEA WELL WHEN A STRANGER COMES UP TO YOU AND STARTS ASKING PERSONAL STUFF IT’S STRANGE)

and then i finally he was like i’m giong to go on the internet and i was like oh me too! but then i was liek lOOK AT THE TIME I GOTTA GO EAT DINNER WITH MY FAMILY AND PEOPLE WHO I KNOW AND KNOW I’M HERE. we shook hands AND HE TRIED TO HUG ME AND GET MY “do you have a website or blog” and of course i lied and was like NO AND JUST I DROVE IN CIRCLES ON THE WAY HOME IN CASE HE WAS FOLLOWING ME AND omg

i’ve had creeping creepers before but this guy was a lonely pervert and I felt bad but god so uncomfortable. this sounds weird but it’s almost worse than having some ramdon person grabbing or touching your ass.

but i’m just like locking all my doors and windows and ugh
