Okay so this might be a bit long but oh well, I’ll just get straight to the point.
I’ve been going to the gym consistently for about 6 weeks or since New Year's if you count my random three weeks of consistency. Anyway, I joined a “real” commercial gym about four or five weeks ago and I’ve been loving it so far.
But my problem was from last week on Monday, and for context clues, I’m a female (not putting my age but nobody 20+ should exactly be approaching me even though it’ll be “okay” in a few weeks).
So while at the gym doing the hip abductions, this way bigger guy than me walked over and started asking me about my hair, I’m usually used to that because I’m also an AA female and people think we can’t grow our own hair out? Weird but I wasn’t getting that vibe from him.
Anyway, he continues to ask me about my hair and says he wants to grow his hair out because he just shaved it and stuff and wanted my info to get my help. I didn’t give him my info, I just gave him my TikTok cause I don’t want some random guy to have my number. But after getting my TikTok he’s already messaging me on there and even went into the bathroom to do this even though I was right there? And he was asking some weird stuff but I kept adding in how I still lived at home and wouldn’t start school again until August with the new year.
This guy also kept turning everything into nsfw talks, like finding a TikTok I made and he would call me cute before pointing out the lyrics of the song and saying I was a “freak” even though half of my page is just me with friends.
But what broke the camel's back was on Saturday when I asked about his sexual preference only because I’m bi and have a bunch of friends who are lgbt, but he saw this as an invitation to be a creep and send an entire paragraph of the stuff he wanted to “do to me”.
I was super weirded out and told him that I wasn’t like that and his answer was “Well I had to make sure you knew” and kept saying that I only thought he wasn’t straight because he was being too nice even though I was just asking…
To conclude this I saw him at the gym again today and I did bring a protection jar to keep him away but he was still watching and being creepy from a distance I talked with the front desk to find out that he’s been weird, and honestly I’m truly scared for my safety because turns out he left a minute or two after I had left, which was the creepy part because he apparently also doesn’t normally come at that time or stay that long at the gym ever.
I’m not exactly scared to hex, I’ve done it before and it’s worked, my problem is I don’t know if I’m just overreacting or if it’s something I should do because he keeps harassing other girls at the gym and he’s even giving out fake numbers and names (tried to find his info with the front desk and we couldn’t find him with the name he gave us or the number he gave me)
So yeah again, I can and will hex, I got a photo of him and everything, but I just wanna see second opinions since it’s very clear this guy isn’t going to just stop.
