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.

He obviously didn’t pick up on her social clues if she called the police. I wouldn’t go back to that store or acknowledge her in public if I saw her again. I wouldn’t give it another thought or have concerns or talk about it with anyone. I’d just move on.

@Muthafukajones Same, I would only speak to her if she spoke to me and I would keep it to work subjects only.

@Muthafukajones Oh absolutely he should not go back.

@Muthafukajones For me ever to do that to anyone , anywhere, it would have to be ridiculously obvious that she liked me.

@SumKindaMunster He said they did speak a couple of times beforehand, I have no idea the nature of these exchanges though.

@JimboSaturn last night I went out to dinner with a friend. He is a nice fellow but isn’t good with women. The waitress came and he managed to talk to her for several
Minutes about how her day was…. It was uncomfortable… overly friendly and clearly he was practicing his social skills… some men think they are good with women by doing this… not realizing the person has to talk to them because they are working.

@Muthafukajones True. He could have taken her work politeness as interest not realizing that she is bound to be more polite at work.
