When I worked at the jewelry store in the mall, every once in a while I would have all the wrong sorts of guys trying to hit on me.
- One New Year's Eve I was working, an older Middle Eastern man came up and asked me what I was doing that night, and if I wanted to go to a club with him. No build up or anything, just "Hi, would you..." I told him I was staying home and watching T.V.
- This grizzled old man with a Cajun accent was browsing at my store. He kept trying to get me to lower the price on things. I kept saying I couldn't, and finally he leans over the counter, looks over his sunglasses, and says, "I bet if you were my girlfriend, you'd give me all kinds of discounts." This guy had to have been in his fifties. Creepy!
- Once, this kid (he looked younger than me), kept walking past my kiosk. Every few passes, he would circle around the kiosk and "browse"...but he kept looking at me. At one point he stopped, and says, "Wow, you look like you're ready to go to a party." (I had dressed a bit nicer than I usually do for work that day). And then he kind of wandered off. The next night he was back. Did the same thing. He stops and makes "small talk" and then he says "You really are pretty." He seemed kind of out of it, and something about him really freaked me out. I just said thanks and just kind of stood around, waiting for him to leave. Never asked me out, never really said anything extensive. What's worse is that over the next few weeks I would see him in the mall from time to time. I thought he might be stalking me

as they always come off as so....lame. I have no idea why you'd want to your first impression on someone to be "Hi! I suck.
