Predator

Recently I was at a gay bar in a city near the town where I go to college and as soon as I got there I went straight up to the bar. Before I could get a bartender's attention I was pounced on by a much older man.

I turn around and there he is: inches from me. I'm definitely one of those people who has my own bubble. I wasn't even drunk yet and this man was really in my space.

He offered to buy me a drink, and before I fully considered what saying "sure" would mean, I went along with getting free alcohol. Little did I know that this man would take that as to mean he would be my shadow for the rest of the night.

He would never stop talking to me, even when I thought I was giving polite signals that I wasn't interested. Eventually, I even found a guy more my age that I thought was attractive. I started talking to him and the older man got in between us to continue harassing me.

Basically, I was trapped with this older guy all because I let him buy me a drink.

Moral is: don't let someone buy you a drink unless you are interested in actually getting to know them better instead of for the free alcohol.
