I (32F) am from the USA and am traveling Europe on my own. I’ve been going to do things on my own and that includes finding drinks. I am also a part of the LGBTQ+ community, so I feel safer in bars that are meant for such folk.

The last two days, I’ve been at bars WITH HEADPHONES IN, and I’ve had local men (both almost double my age) approach me to carry on a conversation. I’ve been happy to chat with people on my journey and getting to know other people. However, the problem is that BOTH of these men have hit on me to a scale that I am both uncomfortable with and not sure what to do. I want to learn more about the local culture. I love talking to locals. What I have a problem with is someone who is double my age grabbing my hand, fondling my ring finger, and asking why I’m single. What do I do to scare these men away??? I love traveling on my own. I set the pace and get to do what I want. However, two nights in a row where a man is basically trying to get in my pants while also being old enough to be my parents is disgusting to me. Any recommendations would be great!!
