Dear Amy: I stopped saying hello because I wanted him to get the hint: I’m not interested, so leave me alone. And yet, he keeps persisting; his behavior is getting weirder.
Like most women, I keep a special eye out for my safety .Recently, one man has starting appearing on my walks. At first he seemed OK, and so I said “hello” back to him after he greeted me.
I’m changing the time I walk so I won’t run into him. But I want to know what is socially acceptable in these situations. Women have been socialized to be polite, and to even ignore our own instincts to flee, in order to make a stranger comfortable.
