[quote=Anonymous]Ladies!!

I have only one piece of advice.  Please, please, please do not let some man sit sit next to you on a mostly empty metro train.  Seriously, no good can come of this.  If there is even one empty two-seater in the car, i will sit with a bag on the chair next to me or diagnally with my legs across the space next to me.  This way no one can sit down without me moving.  You can't avoid weirdos so well on full trains, but really, on a mostly empty train and someone wants to sit next to you and pin you in?  Please exercise common sense and do not allow yourself to be put in that position.

OP-

I also do not think you should beat yourself up, but do you think you can change?  You do not need to respond to men's comments to you or forced conversation.  I can tell you that if a guy on the metro commented on my apperence and then came over to sit next to me, my heart would have jumped and i would have been standing up to move out of the seat before he could sit down.  i am just that way.  Unlike some women i do not think escalating a situation (unless that is your last resort) is necesarily a good idea.  But walk away.  You are under no obligation to chit chat with strangers.  And i think it is probably very true that any man wanting to talk is interested (whether in a good/benign or creepy way) you are a married, pregnant woman.  Just walk away, no explanations necessary.
