Yeah, I have had a couple experiences like that, which is part of what I was trying to get into in that end paragraph a little. Not everything a guy says to a strange woman is creepy, but if we have to be on our guard, we're more likely to treat a perfectly nice guy as if he's a potential creeper because we don't want to risk encouraging him if he is a creeper. And I don't want to be like that. I really wish I could be friendly with everyone I interact with. I like being friendly. But I've gotten burned dozens of too many times when I've given people the benefit of the doubt.
