Less "creeped her out" and more "scared the s**t out of her."

I met a girl late one night. Talked for a while. She was obviously on something. But whatever, I was lonely and she was friendly, so I liked talking to her. When it came time for me to leave I talked her into letting me give her a ride home.

I wasn't okay with just leaving a girl alone and high in the middle of the night. She seemed nervous about getting in my car but I figured it was better she be nervous around me for a few minutes than risk encountering someone who was actually dangerous, especially considering the state she was in.

She gave me directions as I drove. Pointed out her house. Only she had such a soft quiet voice, I didn't hear her. Wasn't 'til I'd passed her place by a few blocks that I looked over and saw how terrified she was.

She was fine, joking and laughing about it after she told me what was wrong and I apologized and turned the car around, but I'd never seen anyone more freaked.

You sound like a good guy. Better to be that kind of guy instead of taking advantage of ladies. Good job protecting her!

Thanks for that, I do try to be a good guy. But I think most guys are. I'm not denying the existence of the sh***y advantage-taking type, but I think most would have done what I did. It's just basic decency.

Only they would have done it without scaring the hell out of her.

There was one instance that was more humorous than embarrassing;

I was walking back to my house one night and had to pass by a bar. When I was about half a block away from the door, a group of gay men started cat-calling me. They were quite persistent and detailed in their announcements of what they thought of me - and referring to me as a male.

So, I may be very androgynous and easily pass as a boy visually (I get sir'd all of the time and have surprised a few people,) but my voice tends to give my biological femininity away. As I got closer to their group, I don't remember what I said, but their faces shifted from interested to very confused. Then they all started to laugh. I stopped to talk to them for a moment simply because I found the whole situation too funny to ignore.

Apparently, I am a very attractive boy, for being a girl. Haha.

Haha.

Hahahahha

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA


I don't know what gender I am, but I creep 'em all out pretty much equally, so there you go! This question made me laugh really hard in real life. Sometimes it turns out funny but sometimes it turns out bad. The definitions for sexual harassment are very vague in colleges (basically "anything that makes the other person feel uncomfortable and is related to sex") so I have to make sure people tell me when I start doing things that might make them uncomfortable.

I don't just creep people out in sexual ways, though. Sometimes I creep them out with my Autism Interests (I think I found them now!) and other ways my mind works. Also, apparently my laugh sounds like an evil villain laugh, which some people like. :P I also creeped my little brother out by making a voice that sounded like a zombie. The people I'm around a lot have to deal with it the most; once, I told one of my friends that he has a nice ass and I don't think he should and I wish my ass looked like his, and now I know that I shouldn't say that even though it wasn't from a sexual perspective. :roll:

Yup, but the whole situation was awkward to begin with. A person I didn't know walked up to me with a bunch of friends (who were all glaring at me) and tried the most lame small talk I have ever heard. He even said "nice weather today" (it was overcast) and not in a joking way. For once, I was not the most awkward person in the conversation. I went along with it for a bit, but the glaring friends made me uncomfortable, so I said a quick bye, picked up my stuff, and briskly walked away. The guy didn't even get a chance to ask me out. So remember, if you need your friends as support for asking a girl out, make sure they aren't big and scary, or at the very least, smile.

Why does this sound odd for guys to do? Have your friends follow you around and glare at the girl that you want to ask out? That is kind of weird, if a girl did this to me, I honestly don't know what I would do till it happened.

You would probably walk away like I did.

I followed a cute guy around all over Southside when I was 14. He was in his 20s. He got nervouser and nervouser and for some reason it made me mad :twisted: , so I kept following long after I would've given it up otherwise.

I’ve probably always given off a weird vibe to everyone interacting with me, but, beyond that, I guess what I told in the oher thread qualifies.

I don’t know about this boy, but, if I were him, I’d feel like crap. I wouldn’t know what to do. I’d probably vaguely suspect the girl doesn’t actually want anything to do with me and it’s all staged, and that somehow is supposed to count as doing me a favor. I’d also be extremely fearful of making any faux pas that could be considered sexual assault.

It reminds me of a time when I was more or less forced by the circumstances to dance with a girl I didn’t feel particularly comfortable with (more exactly, she was pretty much the last girl I’d want to dance with). We were surrounded by other dancing couples, and they held each other’s hands while doing it—it seemed to be no problem at all for them, but the girl who was dancing with me kept her distance. I started to feel extremely embarrassed, because that made us stand out and it seemed like I was doing something wrong. Not knowing what to do, I suddenly tried to grab her hands. She was furious and I immediately realized I’d just screwed up. I quickly apologized to her and left, wishing I’d never been there in the first place. Later I knew she cried over it, which made me feel even more like crap.

as my username indicates.

I followed a girl at the place that I consider my hobby, she was aparently done talking to me but I missed that clue while she was walking away and I followed her, until she turned around and laughed and said I should go now. Then when I went back to the place the next day, because it is my favourite place, the manager came to check up on me, with a voice and tone I would never like to hear in my life again.

Yes! The first time a guy I really liked asked me out, I was so happy. I had no clue how to react though. I tried so hard to act like I had been in a relationship before (among other things, at this time I had not even had a drink!). I think I freaked him out, though he led me on for quite some time.

I have a twisted sense of humor and I know that unnerves some people, but I don't count that. The only time I really remember creeping out a guy was about a year and a half ago. We had been seeing each other for about 2 months, things were going well until December 23. This story is a little NSFW so I'll spare the details, but the awkwardness of this definitely merits a telling. I was sitting on his couch and I was cramping like a b*tch, really all I wanted to do was take a huge pain pill and go to sleep, BUT I had been persuaded to start something and I felt like I had to finish, but the pain was so bad that I couldn't concentrate. So to help me concentrate, I started to hum to take my mind off of my cramps. So awkward level #1--humming during. That's odd enough, but I'm an overachiever. So I intended to hum "Pomp and Circumstance" for some odd reason, but what came out was....the Wedding March. The two start off so similarly to me and they sound alike (to me) and I didn't even realize I had the wrong song until it was too late. This man had just gotten divorced 6 months prior, we had only been together a short time, so yeah. He didn't say anything until after he had dropped me off at my place and left, via text (pansy ass). I tried to explain, but the explanation is weird too, so it just kind of exploded. What made it worse to me was that on the ride home he didn't say anything. He acted just as normal as ever, so knowing what was actually going on in his head really upset me more than the breakup. I don't know why.

All I have to do to creep someone out is inhale and exhale oxygen. :lol:
