The New Dating Scene - Getting a call from the Police

What do you think of this? My wife's work friend gave a retail employee at Boathouse (clothing store) his number after a couple of visits with his daughter. He just said, "if you want to have a coffee or a drink sometime, give me a call". He is 40 and he figured this employee was in her late 20's due to her looks and the fact that she was working a lunch shift (not in high school or anything).

Later that evening, he got a call from the police telling him that he made her feel uncomfortable and try to stay away from her going forward.

Why would a 40 year old be hitting on a 20 year old. That is just creepy

@smileylovesgaming Late 20's .

@JimboSaturn still over a 10 year age gap.

@666Maggotz So by 28 you are a bonna fide adult. It's not a crime to give a person your number.

@JimboSaturn Agreed, assuming she is a grown adult, there is only a problem if he persists after she declines. This situation does not seem to meet that criteria.

@JimboSaturn it’s not a crime to feel uncomfortable by it 🤷‍♀️ you can’t police how other people feel. Just because we are adults, doesn’t mean we have to be interested in you. Go hit on women your own age.

JimboSaturn · 56-60, M

@666Maggotz True, but it's not a crime for people to be interested in you either. He didn't call the police on her!

@smileylovesgaming ALL the man did was present his card. After that, it was up to her to either call him or throw away his card. Unless there was actually more to this exchange than was indicated here, Her action (calling the police) was WAY overboard.

JimboSaturn · 56-60, M

@BigBulge He did nothing after the exchange, just went home.

@JimboSaturn he had no reason to call the police. She is a captive audience at work. Don’t harass women at their jobs. Leave us alone.
