I just had a lovely interaction with a man, we noticed each other from a distance and then leaving I smiled at him and waved. He spoke up and said sorry, if you thought I was creepy for looking, I’m just waiting on a friend. I said not at all, in fact I thought he was security as he was in uniform.

We talked a bit more and then said goodbyes. It got me thinking, how often do men worry they come across as creepy? It hadn’t crossed my mind at all. Afterwards I also thought he could have thought the same of me as we were both looking at each other.
