Subject: Very creepy Metro story

Last night, I got on a near-empty train and started to twist my long hair into a bun. A man across from me said, "Ma'am, it was better the other way." I smiled and said, "Thanks, but it's a pain when it's down." He asked if I was pregnant, and I said yes, he said congrats, and then he got a call, so I pulled out my phone and turned my back to him. He had a pepper and salt beard and tan skin, maybe about 60.

Suddenly, he moved to sit next to me. He asked if the baby was my first, I said no, it's my Xth (I have several children). He expressed complete disbelief that I've had so many kids, said I must be having a boy because I am so beautiful. He tells me about his four kids, how he teaches Middle Eastern studies at night, works as an skilled laborer during the day, etc., and I need to lean in to understand him over his accent and because he keeps dropping his voice confidentially.

Next thing I know, he's complaining about his sex life with his wife!! Says it's never enough, and when he gets any, it's over in 30 seconds, and it's just not enough for him. He says he could have any of his students, but he wants a real connection, mind and body. He tells me I am obviously both smart and beautiful.

I. Can't. Tell. You. How. Creeped. Out. I. Was. I was being propositioned by an old man!!

I had no idea what to do. I talked loudly, told him my HUSBAND was a MARINE, that we were really very happy, and after a few more attempts, he said, OK, OK...how many times a week do you do it? What do you like to do? What is your favorite thing to do to him?

I had thought things could not possibly get worse. I was wrong.

I think I handled it badly. I just acted like an airhead, like I didn't know what he was asking, and kept saying, oh, obviously we're really in love, having all these kids! I wanted to cry, scream, and throw up.

When my stop came up, I flew out of my seat, and he reached out after me and said, "I would give anything to be your husband. You tell him he is the luckiest man in the world. I will pray for you."

(As an aside, what is wrong with me that I attract this kind of creep? Several years ago, in the middle of the day in a busy McDonalds, when I was also noticeably pregnant and with some of my other kids, a construction worker kept leaning down and looking up my skirt! Once I realized what he was doing, I grabbed my girls and left, and as I straightened up after strapping them into their carseats, THERE HE WAS. He tried to grab me, I tried to drive away, he stood in my way, he tried to jump in the car, I managed to drive off...WTH?)

Tell me, does this happen regularly on the Metro? It's like I was living a online explicit chat room conversation...or at least, what I imagine they would be.

Pregnant. Mother of many. Married. VERY married. Not a problem? Is this an ethnic thing? Or too many years chatting with strangers online??

Totally grossed out even still.
