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.

If they got along fine and exchanged numbers, that’s totally cool despite the big age gap. Love is love. I’m a straight dude and I think some women 10-20 years older than me are hot af. Heck, some 60s and 70s still got it. Age isn’t really the issue here, although it may seem as predatory in this case.

However, this guy gave her a piece of paper, and she could just decline it right there. Calling the police is excessive unless he’s not taking no for an answer.

@SW-User If he kept bugging her yes it would be creepy for sure.

@JimboSaturn I misread. Dude, she looked late 20s. She’s a grown ass woman. There’s nothing creepy regarding age, but ongoing harassment is the creepy part.

Like no offense, but is this “40 y/o guy” really just you planning to make moves on a younger woman? I have a feeling predators like to talk it out or justify their actions. If it’s you, yeah, it definitely creepy to be plotting to make moves on this girl.

@SW-User No it's not me. My wife and I have been discussing this case at length. He is a newly divorce guy at her work. Yes definitely if he tried another advance, it would be creepy and harrassment.
