"I don't ask random men for directions anymore. One time I was taking the greyhound bus for the first time by myself. Asked a random guy where the line for where I wanted to go was. He didn't know but he was also looking for the same line. We agreed to look together (why not?) and ended up sitting next to each other and chatting. 2 hours into the 5 hour bus ride he says he's "tired" and then falls asleep. Wraps his arm around me while he's "asleep" and then starts kissing my neck. I was so uneasy and scared in that moment bc I didn't know how he'd react to me pushing him off and I didn't want to make a scene. Also the seats were all full, half with actual sleeping people so switching wasn't really an option. I was leaning almost fully into the aisle to get away from him. Eventually he "woke up" and THEN asked if I had a boyfriend and wanted to date him. I promptly turned him down and listened to music for the next 3 awkward as hell hours "

Like general affection, even with hugs and compliments I'm pretty reserved unless our relationship is clearly drawn out and we both know that nothing is being implied
Smiling too much, laughing too much. Now I just don't give a shit. Get your feelings hurt, but don't you fucking dare expect me to act according to your perception of how I'm acting.
Acknowledging their existence in any way, shape, or form, especially if this acknowledgement isn't accompanied by a common task or aim, such as a group project.
nothing, because i don't really care. if a guy thinks i'm leading him on, it's not my problem.
I'm a cashier. When I get customers that seem like they're a couple I don't look at the man at all. When I get a male customer I try to be friendly but not too friendly to prevent accidentally leading them on.
"I work at a makeup store. Whenever a couple comes up to my till I make sure I avoid acknowledging the guy because I fear that either the girl is going to think her man is flirting with me or that the man is going to think I'm interested in him. This never used to be a concern until one girl flipped out at her boyfriend for 'flirting' with me. He literally just responded "good" to me asking both of them how they were. *Edit: I only started to be concerned after the one incident because it was the worst, several girls had gotten mad previously, however this girl started yelling, so to avoid future incidents I changed. However if the male is to say something to me I will respond. "
Almost EVERYTHING friendly. I hate it but after enough bad experiences with guys assuming I was interested when I wasn't, I feel like it's what I have to do. It doesn't help that I'm the socially anxious type to begin with. There's probably a happy medium somewhere but I have yet to find it.
"Today, apparently, I shouldn't have carried a nightstand down the street. It was a little awkward but not heavy at all, and some dude came up to me and tried to take it from my hands, unasked. I held onto it and told him, "no thanks." He kept pulling on it. I had to ask him to let go. When I said "Jesus Christ" he went on, "oh, like it was such a bad thing." Yes, dude, that was absolutely a bad way to try to help someone out. You don't take something from someone's hands unbidden if you actually want to help them. Frankly, you pulling a medium-large object from my grasp makes me think you're trying to steal from me or con me. "
"I'm a southern girl. I call everyone sweetheart, love, darling and hun. And I mean everyone. Even if I hate you, it's "oh, bless your heart darling" haha. But I've learned that with my male friends, I have to be very careful. As a lesbian, they tend to think that if I call them hun.. that it must mean that they have the magical powers to turn me straight. I have a few male friends who don't hide the fact that they would love to do the dirty with me. I tend to try not to talk to them a lot because I hate to make them feel like I was leading them on. I tend to make sure with them that I really watch what I call them. But I mean, it's hard. I don't even remember half of my friend's names sometimes because I am used to calling them terms of endearment. "
