I'm sorry. I did get triggered a bit because the situation made me feel very unsafe. I know your point was I handled it well. I just think about, you know, you said it was a public place, but the thing is, this guy could've been waiting for me outside when I walked to my car alone (it was downtown and there aren't a lot of people just hanging out downtown after 6pm on a weeknight). I mean, thank goodness he wasn't, but I have no idea what his mental state is.

And again, it was very creepy because he literally did not make eye contact with me once and STARED at my chest the whole time he talked to me. I'm actually mad at myself that I was as nice as I was and did not just excuse myself from talking to him, but I felt cornered. And that's also disturbing to me, that I didn't feel like I could walk away and protect myself, I was cornered.
