Men hit on women all the time, through any medium -- including online and including Facebook. Why bother accepting a request from someone who could be a total creep? I am glad it's calmed down for you, but you shouldn't have to change your photos just to avoid men who want to chat and hit on you. Just change your privacy settings and make your profile non-public and unsearchable. Voila. Problem solved.

Well I have changed the settings to Friends of friends for friend requests but I don't seem to be able to turn it off completely. Also posted that I am in a relationship, which is a lie, but hopefully will help 'friends of friends' to stay away if they are after sex.
I just feel like I am being impolite not to respond to friend requests, I don't know why I think like that tbh I hate offending people too much probably. Too non confrontational in life in general.. people take advantage of it all the time.
The guy did make a creepy remark to me today, he didn't intend it that way but it made a bit uncomfortable. Once again was my fault, but was only being honest, I said I hadn't got back to him because I was having a shower and breakfast. Of course he had to sexualise the shower bit, and I should have realised that he would do that. So you can see how I get myself into these situations.
Hopefully now I have posted I am in a relationship this will be put to bed for good. Unfortunately I have to lie about it though, but if it stops men trying it on then it is better in the long run for everyone. Will stick to the dog as my profile picture though.
