This has happened to me in the past before and I want to know how I can deal with this. About a few months ago when I was dating this a girl who was good looking, I went to a restaurant with her. This one guy who knew me growing up saw me with the girl and tried to start a conversation with me. Not trying to be rude I casually ask him how he is and then go inside with my girlfriend.
Now me and this guy weren't friends by any means. He would just call me names and try to mock me but I ignored it growing up, the guy could never get himself to physically bully me because I was larger than him.
Well then as I am sitting down enjoying lunch with my girlfriend this guy pulls up a chair and starts trying to get in on our conversation. Again we kind of play it off and don't get confrontational. As soon as we start to ignore him he keeps trying to throw himself into the conversation, the guy doesn't leave. Then he starts hitting on my girlfriend right in front of me and I try to change the topic and just talk to her. The two of us are talking to each other and trying to ignore him but this guy does not get the message.
Now my girlfriend at the time is a sweet person so she tries not to call him out on anything, nods and smiles to everything he does.
Soon I get a text from my girlfriend who is sitting right across from me which says "can you tell him to leave!?".
The guy still won't back off so I tell him that I need some personal time with my girlfriend. Well he still doesn't get the message, laughs, and then starts asking her personal questions. I then say "come on man, really? Whats the matter here? You call me a million names growing up and now you act like we're brothers?".
So the guy laughs it off and keeps trying to hit on her. My girlfriend looks at him and finally says "I have a boyfriend, please leave us alone". You would think this does the trick but then the guy still won't back off. He just says "oooo a bit of resistance here, its all good!". Keeps trying to hit on her and then finally we decide to get our food to go and leave.
Now I notice this a lot with guys with urban upbringings (regardless of their race). I don't see it with guys from the suburbs or guys from the country but mainly guys from poor neighborhoods in major cities who try to fit the whole thug rap stereotype. In my situation the guy was a Latino kid from the projects who didn't get the message.
So what does a man do in a situation like that?
