Girls especially, how do you deal with someone who’s being creepy? I went to breakaway in atlanta with one of my girl friends this weekend and it was just us. Some guy came up behind us and started trying to put his arms around us which we clearly said no thank you to and that we were good. He kept trying to grab us so i thought we should just move. he stepped in front of me to block my path and i clearly yelled at him and turned the other way. I thought he left so i told my friend let’s go somewhere else and he followed us again literally until me, my friend, and three lovely women who saw this literally screamed at him. Is there a better way to deal with people like this? it’s never really happened to me before and i was honestly like scared and kinda didn’t really know what else to do.

edit: thank you all so much for your replies, it does suck when guys are creepy and gross but i appreciate all the advice, thank you!!!

I (22 F) have been dating my boyfriend (21 M) for the past 10 months. Before we started dating he was adamant he didn’t want a relationship but here we are. he has told me before he doesn’t want anything long term and i honestly just kind of shrugged it off which is on me. we have always fought about the fact that i ask for “too much attention” and that he is very independent. but lately i feel like it’s been coming to a head. he always pushes our plans around to better accommodate plans with his friends and that leaves me only seeing him at night/where i can fit in. i feel like im constantly begging him to spend time with me/feel wanted. he has also says he wants to move back home eventually (australia) and that i shouldn’t even consider moving as well bc we aren’t going to stay together forever. i’m torn because i genuinely do love him and love spending time with him but i also lately am feeling like i want to be single and do my own thing. the main conflict i have is i still want him in my life and we have a great group of friends together that i know i wouldn’t have if we aren’t together. i kinda feel myself pulling away but i still have so much love for him so im really conflicted. idk if it’s just a phase that will pass or if i truly am feeling unfulfilled. I also know that there is likely no future with him as he’s told me multiple times he doesn’t ever wanna get married, he also seems like he has no real goals or plans even for himself for the future. what should i do?
