Let me just start off by saying I have no idea how this happened, Im not exactly Cate Blanchett and I’m not great with people in general. In fact it’s a miracle I even have a DP Grin

Some guy hit my car outside the supermarket and I’m getting it fixed through his insurance, they sent a mechanic round today to take pictures of the damage so he can send it to the insurers, so far so good

Once he left he phoned to say if I had any problems to give him a ring, how nice I thought!

Swiftly followed ten minutes later by a text saying I had the most beautiful voice he’d ever heard Shock

So...do I ignore?? That’s my strongest inclination but since this NEVER happens to me I wanted to run it by someone and I just COULDNT say this out loud to someone, it would have me squirming with embarrassment

Obvs I will die if he is the one to turn up to fix the car in two weeks Blush

Exactly. He only has your personal information on the proviso he provides a service. It’s exploitative to use it for anything else. My GP has an X-Ray my uterus but I’d be surprised if he called me up to tell me it was pretty... for lots of reasons.

To be honest I think the main reason I felt/am feeling uneasy is that he shouldn’t be texting or phoning me unless in a professional capacity. I would get into an awful lot of trouble for doing that at work

THIS ⤴️

I had similar with an AA recovery driver.

I am the most average woman ever. He asked to use the loo after recovering my vehicle and then wouldn't leave the house and was very sexually suggestive.

I don't think it was because I was gods gift, this isn't a humblebrag.

I think he probably chanced it with all women.

I ended up fleeing out the front door and standing on the front lawn while loudly declaring that my husband was almost home....

Complained to the AA but they didn't give a flying shit.

These people are predators.

Definitely don't respond.

Ugh it’s awful that it’s happened to loads of you out there too. Shocking that one was sexually suggestive in your home which I always feel is my safe space!
