Hello, Jody--Ergh--I hate that that guy did that and then sort of 'blamed' you for misinterpreting him. Sure, he may have been flirting, but we all get to interpret someone's form of flirting as inappropriate or appropriate. He could say the same thing to another woman and she'd be ok with it, so then he might feel justified in believing it's not inappropriate. Sounds like he may not recognize that different people have different ways of being. I feel fortunate that these were the only 2 incidences I've dealt with of this nature. It takes great determination to continue trying, to not start believing that 'most' or 'all' men are like this. So...we keep trying...I so hope you don't have any more discouraging encounters like this!--Lee
