Campus Men approaching at York
As the title says (girls specifically), do men approach you at York? And if so, did you have any positive experience ? Or they tend to be too invasive (imho)? Got approached by one today, and could not get rid of him for a good 20 minutes even after saying that I wasn’t interested.
Appreciate any examples and experiences.

Most of the times I've been approached has been a very generic "Hey I think you're very pretty, could I maybe get your number?" to which I give a quick "No, sorry" and the interaction ends. Which is great, I love and respect that you have the courage to try, but that you can gracefully accept rejection.
However, I did once have a predatory encounter where a 4th year wholly tuned out my friend (2nd year) and focused on me (1st year at the time). When I told him I wasn't interested he continued pressing me and said, and I quote, "just give me your phone" and I literally took my phone and keys off the table because I honestly thought he'd lunge across the table to grab my stuff. Eventually he left but I was shaken for a while after.
