OP beckski 12 | 1,612 28 Oct 2007 / #33This thread is not about flirting getting out of control.Agreed Osiol. That's why many of the previous posts ended up in the random thread.However, I'm interested in hearing if others have personally experienced a similar situation, in comparison to mine. I'd also like to know how they dealt with the issue, when it happened to them.
Kronx1970 - | 8 7 Nov 2007 / #34When I was over in the UK, I went out with this absolutely stunning lady. We walked into a pub and every head turned. We were having a great time, drinking some wine, having lots of laughs, and good conversation. She mentioned how she hated that so many English men have such a propensity to fight.After a while, two drunk guys came up and started chatting. They initially tried to make it seem innocent -- claiming to have heard my 'American accent'. But I knew they were just coming over to talk to her. We chatted for a couple of minutes, but eventually one of them(the more drunk one coincidently) showed his true colors and made a drunken flirtatious comment. That, to me, is disrespectful. It was one of those weird moments, because it was the 1st date... she had already told me how she hated fighting... and here I was -- put in a situation where I'm going to have to do something about this current course of events. Talking is cool, but I don't tolerate disrespect. Since they were drunk, and I've been a bouncer/worked in bars most of my adult life, I knew it had high probability to go where I really didn't want it on this first date with this lovely woman.I also didn't want her to get any wrong impression that I might have been some possesive/jealous guy. So I spoke in a polite yet firm tone that it was nice meeting them, but it was time for them to go back to where they were prior. Fortunately, it only needed to be said once, and they took their leave.She complimented me on how I handled it, because to no surprise to me, she mentioned that sort of situation happens to her quite often. But I wont deny I was sweating it a bit for those few minutes, because I know it could have easily gone another way had those guys decided get courageous.
