$This happened at every high school dance I ever attended. Still happens today.

So, I think my paranoia is justified. Yep, it’s happened to me, too. =\ oh same At least it was just over Facebook i had this happen irl with girls from my GED class because HAHA SO FUNNY ASKING A GIRL OUT ON A DATE AND SAYING HOW HOT SHE IS, WHO EVER HEARD OF SOMETHING SO ABSURDand then when I said I actually was bi, all the girls jumped back and were all “Oh I’m straight” “Yeah I’m all about the dong” (actual quotes).fun fun fun. Yeah this happened to me a lot. For some reason it is a really hilarious thing for boys to go up to a fat female-identifying person and say, “I like you,” then turn around and make fun of them. To the whole goddamn cafeteria. It happened to me over and over but after the first time I learned not to believe anyone who said they had more-than-friendly feelings for me. It also reinforced my belief that fat = unlovable. Seriously what the fuck are parents teaching their children this harmful and cruel shit for. I will make them eat ghost chilis. i think the worst instance i had of this (out of a good amount of times) was with total strangers i was just trying to walk home from the subway after school, i must have been 15 because i remember the stupid Junk Food shirt and the denim miniskirt, and these two dudes walking nearby looked at me and not only laughed and shook their heads, but said out loud, ‘oh HELL naw.’ i ignored them but they came up on either side of me and started the whole ‘yo my friend wants to go out with you but he’s mad shy’ routine. the cherry on top was it being the first and last time i ever heard the ‘you look like an angel…. THAT CRASHED FACE-FIRST!’ line (complete with actual legit fucking KNEE-SLAPPING). they followed me all the way to my building, keeping up the ‘lol my friend wants to date you lolol’ bullshit most of the way; they only left me alone when they asked me if i had a boyfriend, what’s his name, what’s his last name, and i was able to spit out the name of the guy i was crushing on at the time super-quick so they believed me. so yeah it’s not just paranoia I’ve been followed with two or more guys doing the my-friend-likes-you nonsense to the bus stop, a block from my house, through a shopping mall, on the bus during high school, at the food place near my house, and once actually in school where three guys blocked my way to the library to make fun of my new blue shirt and wouldn’t let me go until I hugged the guy that “liked me.” And people wonder why I’m extremely wary of dating cis-men. I had this happen a lot in middle school (my brothers were extremely popular, and I was one of the few black girls in school and my mom didn’t want me to socialize with them because they were “ghetto” and i hung out with other awkward white kids and ended up crushing on a lot of my brothers friends which got me to be the butt of jokes because of my awkwardness and tallness and just being dark as fuck, you know?) So no, I don’t take any attraction to me seriously. I, in fact, greet it with disdain. the first time this happened to me was in 6th grade when a boy passed me a note during band. the second time happened in gym class that year when my “friend” said to me, “HEY! YOU KNOW CHRIS?? HE WANTS TO EAT YOU OUT”. i had no idea what that meant. i still get followed by middle-schooler boys doing the whole “my friend likes you” thing. i want to explain to them that it might be funny right now but the older they get the more a woman is going to feel unsafe being followed when she’s just trying to get home at night, even if it’s just for a hilaaaaaarious joke. Commentary. This has also happened to me more times than I can count. Only one person has ever meant it. Yup, used to get this one a lot in my teens and early 20’s. Like it’s the most HILARIOUS joke - ask a fat girl out as a practical joke. Oh what a WIT those guys are!Morons.$

Yep, it’s happened to me, too. =\

oh same

At least it was just over Facebook

i had this happen irl with girls from my GED class because HAHA SO FUNNY ASKING A GIRL OUT ON A DATE AND SAYING HOW HOT SHE IS, WHO EVER HEARD OF SOMETHING SO ABSURD

and then when I said I actually was bi, all the girls jumped back and were all “Oh I’m straight” “Yeah I’m all about the dong” (actual quotes).

fun fun fun.

so yeah it’s not just paranoia

I’ve been followed with two or more guys doing the my-friend-likes-you nonsense to the bus stop, a block from my house, through a shopping mall, on the bus during high school, at the food place near my house, and once actually in school where three guys blocked my way to the library to make fun of my new blue shirt and wouldn’t let me go until I hugged the guy that “liked me.”
