Don't Compliment Him

Tweet

I hate it when my parents compliment creeps and consider them gentlemen. It drives me nuts. My sister-in-law's brother is constantly complimented as one of the most handsome gentlemen they've ever met. They always bring him up for a few days after seeing him somewhere and that dies down for a bit, but then continues again when they see them somewhere again. For instance, we saw him at my niece's party. He stole my hiding place in the backyard and smoked when I wanted to hide there and look up at the sky. He saw me hiding there in the past and took that hiding place for himself to smoke. He's always being like this. He's been like this since we met for the first time 15 years ago. He smirks at me, calls me names, taunts me, steals my hiding places, sits in my chair, stands directly behind me, follows me everywhere at events, stares at me from across the room, follows my every move with his eyes, grins when I laugh, leans in to listen to my conversations, brushes his arm against mine on purpose, and gets upset when I ignore him. People claim it's because he has feelings for me. If that's the case, then does that mean my ex-husband, my elderly neighbor's grandson, my ex-boss, and some other creepy men in my life have feelings for me too? Because they all act like this! And my parents compliment all of them as handsome gentlemen! So what if they are handsome? They are no gentlemen!
