Weird interaction at Marina Promenade
Just had a weird interaction today and wondering if this is a thing or if I’m overthinking it.
I was sitting at the marina alone with my 2 month old son in my lap, Sunday around 1.30pm.
A guy came over, 50s, tanned, small mixed breed dog (half beagle?) and he complimented my buggy (it’s a nice enough brand but very ubiquitous) and started asking about the baby, how old he was etc. Fine, normal enough.
Then he was telling me he “works outside” and likes how practical the buggy is.
Then he sat down really close to me and touched my arm and leg briefly while he was talking to me. I had my AirPods in the whole time and didn’t make much eye contact (he was honestly too close) which all felt pretty weird given I’d literally never met him before.
My husband was nearby with our daughter in the playground and said he’d noticed the guy. He thought I knew him from somewhere but I definitely don’t…
Maybe he was just hitting on me and using the baby as an opener, but the whole thing felt off. My mind went to “what if he’s interested in the baby” and feel sick.
Has anyone else had random men approach them specifically when they’re out alone with a baby? Is this a thing??
