Dang, if you were younger I would tell you to mention that you were 16 lol. I use that line (since some 16 year olds look like they're 20!) and it scares the creepers away.

I would keep a few lines up your sleeve - some really funny, but wacky stuff. Scare them a little.

Or even better, say it at our age and it will get them running double time. Underage and looks like she is over 30! EJECT!

Just tell them you have a std (disease).

If the guy went so far as to actually hug you it might have been a good idea to tell a security person in the store if they had one. They probably wouldn't have arrested him but it might have put enough of a scare in him to think twice about behaving like that in the future. I've seen guys act like that when I commuted to work on the bus for many years to downtown Seattle. The problem in that situation is that a woman is stuck on that bus for the entire trip and if some creep comes up and sits next to them and then becomes overbearing it would be difficult to know what to do. I have seen women get up and move to another seat and I noticed that many women would appear to be preoccupied by reading a book or something and I suspect that they were doing that as a way to avoid having to interact with guys who might start flirting with them.
There's nothing wrong with flirting but when someone clearly isn't interested and even says they're married the guy needs to back off. Sorry that happened to you.

Sounds like you have beautiful hair! I'd stick my lil' hands in it, too! I love playing with hair and particularly with beautiful hair. Might've been a hair-dresser in my previous life... Perhaps that's why I prefer toupees to bald heads.

When I babysat in high school it was my secret weapon with little girls. I let them play Barbie with my hair. Hours of entertainment for them, some seriously bad looks for me
