Ok, and.... I went out last night alone to a music venue. When alone, I am prey for other men, I have found.

A man I was standing next to struck up a conversation with me. Then he was telling me how he has a love/hate relationship with his live-in girlfriend, yet he asked to meet up with me. I told him no and said I am not dating right now and especially not men who already have girlfriends! I remained standing/dancing nearby him because the venue was completely packed and I couldn't move too easily. Then he was so bold and brazen to start touching me! He put his arm around my waist and leaned in for a kiss! I was like, what are you doing?!?!?!?!??!? It was appalling. Talk about boundary crossing! I had told him flat out "no", yet he proceeded to think he had the right to touch me and even attempt a kiss from me??? What a jerk. So I found a way to move away from him.

Another man who was there by himself, whom I had met the week before, glued himself onto me on another part of the dance floor. He was talking non-stop to me, and all I wanted to do was hear & enjoy the music. I eventually moved away from him, too.

Last night in particular it seemed like a feeding frenzy.

I look forward to the day when I can meet other musically inclined women with the same music tastes as myself to hang out with at these shows. I need to find female friends... I think I will join some women's music FB groups and see what I can drum up... it may take time to actually form real friendships, but this is how my husband met some of his now best friends. I want to try it out at least, since I am not ready yet to join Meetups.
