Making loud comments and what can only be described as "purring" at the poor lad. He was laughing and smiling but to me, he also looked seriously uncomfortable... He's just a kid really, 19 I think, and he was getting obviously increasingly embarrassed.
Theres nothing wrong with flirting but people need to get much, much better at reading body language and stop when someone is clearly not happy about it. |
....hmmm, I bet you were having little sneaky peeks at those fine legs yourself, TS...but yes, people will notice and look at things they find attractive in people they see on the street/in their place of work etc but it's when it's advanced to making inappropriate comments/feeling it's ok to make those comments and making someone feel uncomfortable and awkward ....
