[quote=Anonymous]Why does this happen to you all the time? You refuse to say no.

Talking about your husband is not saying no. Acting like you don't understand what the creep is asking/doing is not saying no. Staying in your seat until your stop arrives is not saying no. Running away from a creep at McDonalds is not saying no.

No sounds like this: "Sir, step back and leave me alone NOW. I said NO. Either back off or I call the police." Say it so the people three stations down the line can hear you.

As it is, you're more interested in being polite than being safe. So you attract creeps who know just how to push, push, push -- they're testing you to see just how far they can get and they're not going to stop unless the situation changes because right now your behavior is giving them tacit permission to keep going. You, my friend, are damn lucky you haven't been assaulted.

Everyone always rolls their eyes whenever "The Gift of Fear" is recommended, but in this case I think it would be well worth your time. I also highly recommend some RAD training through your local police department. It's the most (literally) kick-ass self-defense course I've ever taken and absolutely amazing in terms of both skills and empowerment.
