I might feel awkward if i see this man again.How should i act if i do see him and he speaks to me again?. I hope he didnt feel bad when i laughed.Do you think thats a normal reaction though,and do you think it's rude that he said that when he knows i am with someone?. Reply to this Question Share |

It's rude. The guy is a douche. If you ever end it with your new boyfriend, don't go out with this guy!!! That's a really stupid thing to say to someone in a relationship, completely disrespectful.
Congrats on your new relationship! Enjoy it, and forget about this other dude. He probably DID mean what he said, that he wants to take you out. But he is rude and really... just a douche. So no, going out with him shouldn't even cross your mind, the guy is full of himself.

Of course he was rude, people get beaten up for things like that. I don`t even know why you are giving it any thought.

Was he joking or did he mean it? Well seeing as he was disgusting enough to wait while your new fellow had gone outside to say that to you, I wouldnt care less, thats unless you hope he meant it. His behaviour warrants someone who needs teaching a lesson in respect, or even a good left hook.

On the face of it, it was very disrespectful to the man you was with. Why does he assume you would go out with him anyway? Do you actually want to? If he felt bad when you laughed, it would`nt have been anywhere near as bad as your new man would have felt if he`d have heard it. The guy sounds arrogant.

Either way, a rude and tasteless remark, awkwardness quite appropriate reaction to inappropriate behavior. Doesn't matter how he "feels" that you laughed considering how he made you "feel."
Ignore him if you see him, if he approaches brush him off as politely as possible, though it may take a sledgehammer to get him to take the hint to get lost.
A creep who'd use a line like that has no respect for women, don't waste another second on him.
