His explanation was: You are blonde. Blondes are stereotyped to be friendly people. This man probably liked you and thought you were attractive, so he sat next to you just to be near you. If you were an old man this would never happen, so you should be glad for it. It's appreciation that you will one day miss. If he were some cute boy you wouldn't have complained at all.
That is true, I wouldn't have complained if he were cute. But he wasn't. He had absolutely no shot with me, and knew his presence was not welcome. So he sat there incredibly close to me, just looking anywhere but my direction in an empty metro car. He knew he was wrong but did it anyway! UGHHGHHFFFF!!!
And I'm too socially passive to do anything about it. I did; however, learn that I can pretend to be getting up for my stop and then move to a different seat instead of getting off the train.
