Small Asian girl in her mid-20s! Echoing everyone’s comments about doing your best to sit near another woman. I know that my friends and I would be more than happy to play along and help a younger girl with “oh hey! How’s it going? I haven’t seen you since thanksgiving!”

I’m going to disagree with some commenters and agree with others: I do not engage with creeps, persistent panhandlers, and/or other people who scare me. I don’t want to show them that I’m feeling uncomfortable and I don’t want to encourage any more interaction inadvertently. I usually just stare dead ahead.

I’m so sorry she’s already had to experience this. Please tell her that she’s not alone
