As a young woman, I tend to encounter some unnecessary flirting, from men and boys alike. That just comes with the territory with being a female.
Usually, the attention is unwanted but sometimes it is scary.
The men that could be my grandfather? This is who gives the scary attention.
“You are sooo sweet! If I wasn’t married, I would just snatch you right up.”
Ugh… *rolls eyes” Since you are married… you need to go talk to her. Does she know you are hitting on me? You might not be married for long.
“Look at that beautiful smile! Are you smiling for me?”
I just smile. I am not smiling for your benefit. Please go away.
*Hands me a box of chocolates* “I got this just for you.” or “I thought of you when I saw these.”
Did you now? Ummm…. Thanks but no thanks.
I honestly have no idea what goes on in these men’s minds when their brain comes to the conclusion that hitting on a much younger woman will NOT creep her out but instead she will fall for their pick-up line(s).
