It seems like a bit of a non-event (well it is), but it’s been on my mind so I’m going to ask on here anyway.
Long story short, there’s an older man (about 50) who apparently used to give me too much attention for his wife’s liking. Nothing major, he just used to stare at me, comment on my outfits and his wife would look angry and put her arm tightly around him. I’m mid 20s.
He was just an acquaintance, someone I bumped into at the gym and in the pub. I didn’t see him for months.
This weekend, he and his wife happened to be at the same wedding reception as I was. I was with a few university friends. I was standing outside on my own for a few minutes, just checking my messages (I didn’t want to do it inside at the table as it’s quite rude imo), and I overheard this man’s wife saying, ‘oh she’s strange isn’t she, not being married at 29….wonder why she’s on her own…’, and he replied, ‘yes it is strange isn’t it? Well I hope we don’t see her tonight (he obviously could see the back of me through the window).’
Needless to say, I avoided this man all night, as anyone would. But then he tried to come over and speak to me a few times, saying, ‘oh hello , it’s nice to see you, what are you up to these days?’, but I made excuses to just quickly leave. I just thought it was weird and insincere. I basically felt uncomfortable all night and it ruined my night a bit. I wonder if other people feel this way about me, although he's probably just a weird d!ck...
