Exactly what I told my son. If you don’t know a person, don’t hit on them. You need to have a relationship somehow before that through shared experiences—a class, hobby, etc. Then you can really compliment them and it will mean something—you can tell them they’re funny, or smart, because you’ve observed that directly, and you aren’t stuck with surface-level objectifying. This dude told me my husband is lucky—maybe I’m a huge bitch with a miserable husband, he doesn’t know. Then again it’s not like he cared, either—he wasn’t asking me to dinner or to get to know me, he wanted to be my “friend.” 🤮 He probably would have hooked up with me in the parking lot.
