Got creeped out by a guy the library today

Don't know about you but it sounds like a slightly more outgoing person is asking whether a series of books is good or not.

Of course, words are only part of this, what was his tone of voice like?

Let's get real, there was only one issue here, and it wasn't anything to do with the library.

You didn't fancy the dude; ergo he's creepy and desperate.

If it had been Benedict coming up to you in the library, presumably it would be a whirlwind of romance, and just the thing you'd expect from a sensitive, intellectual man- rather than the tacky experience of a horrid club or bar.

I was expecting a least one post like this. Has it ever occurred to you that some women might just want to go about their daily business in peace? Besides which im celibate so I wouldnt have wanted to talk to him even if he looked like Ryan gosling.

So I went to the library today just to pass the time and I was sitting there reading, minding my own business when this dodgy looking man comes up to me and asks if i know what time the library closes. I thought he genuinely wanted to know so I told him it closes at eight. But then he asks me if the book im reading is any good (Harry potter and the cursed child). Not wishing to engage in further conversation, i tell him yes and return to by book. Then he asks if the other harry potter books are good, and I say yes they are, trying to make myself quite clear that I wish to be alone, at which point he goes away.
I'm just surprised and slightly disturbed at the desperate measures guys will resort to with complete strangers just to get the attention of someone from the opposite sex. I'm not even remotely attractive, and if this happens again I intend to make myself quite clear and say that I just wish to read my book in peace.
It was just a bit pathetic and creepy really and it ruined my inner peace just a little bit. Not a lot, just a bit. I shouldnt have to endure that. And in a library too, of all places.

'Blame a guy for trying'

In all seriousness though, he shouldn't have come up to you begging the conversation like that. We can all tell he's not gonna go off and start the Harry Potter series and is genuinely interested in what you're reading. He might've just wanted to start up a chat but since you made it clear you wanted to be left in peace, I respect the fact that he actually did leave you alone.

But I get why you were a little flustered by that. It'd be on my mind too if it happened to me - I wouldn't be able to get back to my book peacefully (I'm too paranoid )

*Big-up fellow HP fan How's Cursed Child coming along? I've heard that you have to appreciate it as a play and not in the same way as a novel - the acting brings it to life, as it does with other plays and good actors

Guy talks to girl about books.

In a library.

Call the ****ing police

The only pathetic thing is your need to create this thread because someone asked you a few questions.

No need to be so rude.
