If I had the experiences this guy had, I would conclude to myself that bars just aren't the place where I would want to spend my off-time. I like for people to like me, not to want to put a "kick me" sign on my back. I had enough of the "kick me" signs in high school.
But you are NOT Jamesy, and he does not seem to understand or accept that it is his behavior that provokes people's feelings and actions against him.  Maybe one day he will.

Did James know that the woman had a boyfriend present? That's the question, really. If he didn't know, and she was talking to other people, then it's less of a sleazy situation than if he knew she had a boyfriend and especially that he knew that he was was present.

Still, I would probably not go up to a person talking amongst friends if I was a total stranger to all of them. Woman or man. There are times when strangers are welcome; but, in my experience, most of the time, strangers aren't welcome in these gatherings of friends who know each other.

One day, you should watch an old Saturday Night Live sketch known as "Wild and Crazy Guys." Those two guys had no sense of "boundaries."


The angle I'm seeing it from is how visible is this boyfriend to begin with? If he's lurking in the background and made no effort whatsoever to make himself conspicuous then the boyfriend should expect situations where random men might approach their girlfriend. There are plenty of times when I found it awkward not to interact with a woman, boyfriend or not.

If not and the boyfriend is right next to her then yeah, its obnoxious to talk to her.

I dunno where this dating stuff have come from too. Generally in the UK a pub or bar in the evening makes a terrible place for a date.

I, along with a lot of other people have told Jamsey he and bars don't mix well. His behaviour is blinkered to social norms but not hostile, discriminatory or harassing to the best of my knowledge.

And no. I'm not gonna wrangle with you again over a post you dragged up he apparently made 8 years ago where he texted a female friend an unknown number of times, saying unknown things and apparently this somehow amounted to harassment.

I was referring to a post he made recently, not 8 years ago.

Once again, we’re talking about a general pattern of behavior.

I wonder if this will work:

"Wild and Crazy Guys."

https://www.bing.com/search?q=wild+and+ ... 01&PC=U531

To some extent, I used to try to act like that when I was in my very early 20s. I tried to act "cool." I came off looking stupid. No wonder I was rejected!

Go to bar . . . chat up woman . . . get rejected . . . post "Why?" . . . ignore/argue against replies . . . repeat . . .

That about sums it up.

He explicitly said he left it a "few weeks" before texting again.

I think you have no idea what harassment is when it comes to text messages it seems.

The dating thing is inferred from the fact when the woman in question is "chatted up" the boyfriend has a problem with it. That means they are there together. Two people in a pub together are more often than not...dating. Granted its not an absolute, but its likely. They may not consider a night at the pub a date, but the relationship is there.

It was more than that:

At most a weekly message sometimes as infrequently as once every several weeks with said "harassment victim" (who knows him since childhood) making no effort at all to tell him to stop. How truly terrifying it must have been for her *sarcasm*

Give me a break.

His post history is full of concerning behavior (and attitudes).

If they feel scared of that then they should live indoors permanently.

As for his posting history, what he post just seems like observations more often than not. They mostly relate to what comments people are making about him but not much in the way of actual harmful actions. Posts relating to his thoughts are just that too.

And yeah lets get back on track too. I dunno why this has turned into a bash Jamesy thread based on seeing way to much into what he posts.

I have only texted that girl twice a few weeks apart and then stopped.

I am not stupid believe it or not I have got the message she dislikes me. And she along with my other old school friends all of a sudden avoid going to the same pub I attend.
