There are many times in a woman’s life when they will be approached by someone who is interested in them. Sometimes it can be well received, especially if the person seems kind. But oftentimes, for women especially, there are advances that push every possible boundary. Many times, they even cross the line.
No matter how polite —or even blunt—women are in response, there are some people who will just never, ever get it.

That is just taking things too far.
“A former neighbor who took an interest from nothing more than a ‘hello’ in the lift. Started knocking on my door for random chats so I made it clear I wasn’t interested.

Can’t take no for an answer.
“A former friend’s roommate took a liking to me when he found out I was a “gamer girl” and started off pretty strong. He tried to buy me a gaming pc rig for my birthday after only hanging out twice in a group setting (where he barely spoke), showed up at my work wanting to hang out even though I never told him when or where.

Never touch a stranger’s underwear.

Even at the bus stop.

Doing the absolute most.
“My sister’s roommate really liked me, but he was her boss and her roommate, so I was polite but nothing else.
After me frequently telling him that I was not interested in him, he left a golden box on my front step, and in it: a picture of my mom from college that he stole from my sister and a pair of my panties that he had also stolen from my house,” shared dazedandconfuzed420 .
The drunk wedding guests are always the worst.
“Was at wedding a few months ago, had a guy follow me around the entire night. I don’t think I even said more than two words to him. I ignored him when talking in a group, I actively moved further away from him when he got closer and I made a point to not even look at him.
Towards the end of the night, after more alcohol, I turned around one more time to him standing next to me and staring and I cracked and told him to get away from me,” shared sunshineandcats21 .
Co-workers can cross the line.

“No” is a full sentence.

Having someone be blatantly rude sucks.
“This guy from my uni friend group kept being overtly friendly, like noticeably flirtatious even in class. I started being fairly rude to him to get him to back off. The final straw was when I went to a party with my long-term boyfriend at this tiny apartment with no seating and in front of everyone, boyfriend included, said ‘oh well you can sit on my lap.’ The AUDACITY,” said PhysicsBallerina .
