30 Women Share Their Worst "Nice Guy" Experiences

Had older man smile at me in the street and said something like "aren't you a darling" I didn't smile back and kept on moving I went to a shop and he followed me in there and kept winking and smiling at me.. following me from aisle to aisle.

I didn't give any eye contact and just tried to make it look like I was busy shopping.

He walked past me nudging into me and said "you could at least smile you effin b***h"

It was only a short event but made me feel so uncomfortable.

Me and two friends brought our kids to the zoo. It was the dead of summer and Audubon has a cool zoo which is a lazy river, some slides for smaller kids, splash pads, you know the layout. I’m in a bikini top with shorts, nothing revealing, literally an average cut top. This f*****g guy decided to sit directly next to us when there was a myriad of empty places to sit, as time goes he chimes in on conversations, and asks me if I wanted anything from the snack/drink stand. I made it clear I was married, showed the ring and said I don’t want you to get the wrong idea here. He downplayed it, still bought me a $5 lemonade which I refused because that made me super uncomfortable.

He overheard my name and then proceeded to call me by my name which then infuriated me so we picked up our stuff and moved. This f*****g guy follows us to the other side where the slides and stuff are so one of my friends let him have it. He tried the whole “I was just being nice” rebuttal. Huge red flag. I told him if he sat next to us again I’d empty my bottle of pepper spray into his eyes.

Yeah, nothing weird about a random guy sitting in the kids area by himself overtly flirting with women who clearly have kids and are more than likely in a relationship because of said kids.

I'm not flirting, I'm being polite and friendly during my shift as a receptionist. Please, don't invite me to your party/room/country every single time.

That's every day.

I was at a con one time. It was late night, everyone was drinking. I had to grab a charger from my car before walking over to the hotel to sleep. This random dude who had flirted with me throughout the night here and there saw me and followed me. He kept saying he was protecting me and didn't want me to drive drunk.

I explained I wasn't driving anywhere and asked him to please leave me alone but he followed me anyways. I was like okay, no big deal. I thought he'd go after he saw I wasn't getting in the car but he just kinda lingered there. I asked him to leave but nothing happened. It was like 3am and I wanted to sleep. So I started walking over to my room which was like 50ft away on the ground level.

This mf followed me just monologuing about protecting me and when I went to close the door between us he stopped it with his hand and wouldn't budge. I got behind it and was shoving it trying to close it. Luckily my friend who was staying separately saw me struggling and yanked the guy away from the door. I've never felt so helpless in my life and it flashes through my mind any time someone flirts with me in an environment with alcohol.

When I was around 18, a guy who I had met earlier in the day (while shopping at his workplace) showed up at my workplace (a restaurant), sat at the bar and got drunk, and proceeded to follow me out to my car when I left for the evening. I was as clear as I could be as an "unexperienced with creepy guy situations" that I was not interested in him and I really needed to get home. I didn't feel comfortable trying to get into my car because he was moving in closer and closer to me, trying to kiss me. Thankfully, the bartender, who I barely knew, saw out the window what was going on and came out to the parking lot, saying my dad was on the phone looking for me. I ran back inside the building, and the bartender proceeded to have "words" with the guy in the parking lot. Never saw the guy again, and I will be forever grateful to the bartender for stepping in.

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. One night he knocked 7 times in one hour, he left notes asking if I wanted to go here and there, he found my FB and in my spam folder was over a 100 messages. He knocked one morning at 7am so I opened the door and basically told him to p**s off, he goes "you could have told me you weren't interested".

He then kept knocking because he wanted to take me out to apologize, ended up reporting him to our landlady who threatened to evict him for breaking the no antisocial behaviour part of his tenancy agreement and he left me alone.

Guy I'd been friends with for 6 years decided one night that I must have been interested in him all along. I was coming out of the bathroom at a party and he shoved me back in and kissed me. I shoved him away. He tried again while trying to lock the door.

I managed to dodge and asked what the f**k he was doing, told him I wasn't interested and leave me alone and then went to hide out with another guy friend. I told the other guy what the first one had done and that I needed him to help me ward off the attention. He agreed. And then invited me to a 3way with his girlfriend.

So I grabbed my s**t and started to leave. The first guy approached me again. I shouted at him in full view of everyone to leave me alone and flat out referred to the s**t in the bathroom as an attempted assault.

Marched out the door to my car and he followed me. He apologized and "explained" that he thought I had a crush on him. I'd known him so long, I tried to be understanding. I told him if he'd asked me out I probably would have said yes but this s**t wasn't the way to do things. I said if he did want to try it out he could call me in the morning and actually ask.

Instead he pinned me to the hood of my car and tried to kiss me again.

I ducked away and got in the car. Drove away. He did not call me the next morning and in fact we never spoke or saw each other again. I in fact lost all of my male friends in one night since they were all friends with him.

A stranger talking to me at a bus stop. It was 06:00 in the morning and I needed to go to Uni. It was cold, I was wearing headphones and reading a book.

A short mumbled answer to a good morning made him try to talk to me. I went from nonverbal grunts to completely ignoring him. And when that didn't stop him, I told him "Sorry, I'm not in the mood for talking, it's way too early.". Didn't work. Next thing I told him straight "Dude, I don't want to talk to you. Shut up and p**s off!"

And guess what...it didn't really work too, he continued.
So I had to be more blunt and rude and told him I would give him a beating if he didn't stop right away.

That finally did the trick. Even though he still wanted to sit next to me in the nearly empty bus with plenty of other options. I stared him down with a raised fist and didn't move, so he didn't try that.

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.

What made it extra creepy? He didn’t drive or have a car, *so he took an Uber* to leave a box with an adolescent picture of my mom and my underwear on my porch.

Roger the Finger Sucker. I got cornered by him at a party and he started to recite sonnets to me. And as I was trying to figure out how to extricate myself from his body-blockage, while basically contorting myself as far as physically possible from him in the confined space I was now in, he took my hand and started sucking on my index finger. I can’t remember if it was outright WTF revulsion or laughing so hard that made him step back enough to let me skedaddle outta there. But Holy C**p

I was on my first ever solo trip and headed to Europe. Had my headphones in and a movie on my kindle fire and this guy has the audacity to keep touching my shoulder and talking to me! I’d covered myself with my blanket and was using the s******g airline pillow to create more of a barrier and also had my body angled away from him. But he kept going and one time tugged my damn headphone out! I finally just turned up my movie and anytime he tried to get ky attention held my tablet closer to my face. Unfortunately another young woman was on his other side and he then turned his attention towards her and her child. It took her nearly as long to get him to leave her alone. She finally had to tell him to shut up so her child could sleep as we’d been flying for hours at that point. That man had the f*****g audacity to complain the female flight attendant we weren’t being nice to him when they served drinks for the evening. She just looked at him and asked him if we knew him, he said no, and she said then we had no reason to humor him and to leave us alone

I went on a date with someone I met on an app. We ate dinner and I was really forcing myself to be nice and be present when in reality I was pissed! The guy lied in all of his pictures and we literally had nothing to talk about. At the end of the night, I was walking back to my car when he pushed me against a wall and forced kissed me!!! I was literally turning my head side to side. And then he has the audacity to say “wow that was a great date and kiss. Let’s meet again.” I just said sure to get the heck away. I blocked him as soon as I got in my car and sped away super fast

I went to a really bad school so I'm not really surprised this happened, but one time I was "asked out" by a guy, I say "asked out" cause he didn't really ask, he more so demanded. He said something along the lines of "You're my girl from now on." which is just creepy in an of itself, and when I said no, he got super pissed saying stuff like "Tf, I didn't ask, so how about you just accept it." so I booked it outta there.

Was at a party and met a fedora wearing guy who was absolutely obsessed with anime, he told me "By the end of the night you'll know 101 new things about anime!"

He then followed me and my friends around the party telling us random anime facts, it was super awkward and he wouldn't take the hint to leave us alone and I had never been so uncomfortable in my life, a friend even straight up told him "Leave us alone" and he would just snort and stick around.

Every time I’ve had weird men confessing their feelings for me. Like we spoke 2 or 3 times John, you cannot possibly be « in love » with me. They thought they were being romantic too.

My ex-housemate couldn't take a hint to save his life. No matter how many times I slammed my bedroom door in his face, ignored him when he talked, or actively avoided him, he would still keep trying to talk/flirt with me. This was all after I had already rejected his romantic proposal. It went on for ~3 months until my lease was up and I moved out.

Also, he was 33 and I had just turned 20.

When I was 21, I worked at a casino as a cage cashier. It was the overnight shift, and I had so many creeps acting like I was flirting with them when I was just doing my job! One guy —who had to be 45–50 years old — just kept staring and smiling at me throughout his transaction. It sounds innocent but it was incredibly creepy and uncomfortable. He finally left (because a line started to form behind him) and a few hours later, at about two or three in the morning, the phone rang and it was him! He asked me if I remembered him, that he was in earlier and 'WE' couldn't stop smiling at each other! (I said I didn't remember him.) Then he asked me if I 'wanted to go party.' Seriously, ew

I was 15 and working at a local ice cream shop in the downtown area. I was in the back, making waffle cones, when I heard a knock on the window. This 60-some year old guy is waving to me, so I wave back and go back to paying attention to my cones. 20 minutes later, he’s still there watching me. I got nervous and went to the hallway, which is when he came in the shop. He asked my coworker how old I was, and she was kind enough to lie for me and said I was 13. He left after that.

One of my former roommates. He was a 28 year old man and I was 18. He tried to sleep with me because I was "18 now". I had to keep rejecting his advances and it was so uncomfortable but eventually he got kicked out by the landlord (I don't know if it was because I told the landlord he was being creepy towards me or other reasons. I guess he had issues with cocaine as well). When my landlord confronted him about him making unwanted sexual advances towards me I heard him saying I should have lost my virginity as 15 "like everybody else".

Anyways the weird part is years later I actually ran into him and he started hitting on me aggressively AGAIN but he had no recollection of who I was! I remembered him but he seemed to not have a clue who I was and tried to lure me back to his home when I was waiting for a greyhound bus en route to another city and I was sitting with my luggage. This maniac was trying to convince me to go to his home and I was trying to get him to understand that I can't leave because if I do I will miss my bus and get stranded in some random city. Then he took it upon himself to keep me company while I waited for my greyhound 😅🥲. He stayed with me until I boarded. He was also eating a mango and cutting it with a pocket knife. I was so uncomfortable that he had a knife and kept asking me to go back to his place with the knife in hand (even if he was only using it to cut fruit). I ended up stealing his knife when he wasn't paying attention. The dude was eccentric and was plucking public flowers and giving them to me.

Had some random guy sit down and join a friend and I at lunch. We were sooo clearly annoyed and just wanted to catch up as we hadn’t seen each other in awhile. He just kept asking where we were from, what we were doing after etc. His friend who was standing nearby actually got embarrassed and started trying to get him to leave.

We finally started to get up because we were so irritated. He then gets up to leave but he watched us for the rest of our lunch. Completely ruined our time because we were so uncomfortable.
