Creepy Guys In The Dark

I dont know how I get to be so lucky, but I think I can count about 4 times that random dudes have stopped me on the street to talk to me and tell me something like "You're pretty".

I just don't get it, I wouldn't stop someone I thought was attractive on the street and ask them if they have a girlfriend, or would they like to be my boyfriend. Thats just odd. But it seems that the random people that stop me find this perfectly acceptable!!

Tonight I was walking across the downtown of Ottawa and walking along text messaging someone and listening to my iPod. All of a sudden, some random guy comes out of the shadows and starts walking in step with me. I kinda turn to acknowledge him and he smiles at me and he's like "You're really pretty" so I said thanks, and looked away. But he didn't go away. He starts telling me that he saw me across the street and wanted to come over and tell me that I was attractive or something to that effect.

We're both still walking at this point. I pulled one headphone out of an ear and I look at him, and he's still talking and he's like "I was just wondering if you have a boyfriend" and I'm like "Yeah, I do...." (which is a total lie, but like I need random scary in the dark dude knowing that) and he's like "well, thats alright, he's a lucky guy. You're beautiful" and again I'm like "Thanks...." and put my headphone back in my ear and keep walking, staying in well lit areas and texting as many people as possible!!

I've had random people stop me on the street and tell me we should date before, but sorry random guys, I'm not about to date people who talk to me on the street!!!! Weirdly enough, I think they have all been my height. Strange.

Even in the summer I had some randomn guy downtown stop me and ask me to the movies before he even told me his name!! And then there was the dude in the summer who stopped his car to say we should hang out. To all the random weirdos out there: thanks for thinking I'm attractive, it's nice to know someone pays attention, but I'm not going to date you.

I just found this article on Digg.... I think that dude last night may have read it and was feeling pumped : http://www.ehow.com/how_2094811_talk-girls-street.html
