Linda

I play the piano well and I like to play in the lobby of my dorm or in the student union, or other public places, and I get compliments on my playing. Whenever a girl compliments me, she usually calls out that I sound great as she walks by. But whenever a guy compliments me, he comes over, stands next to me, and tries to win me over with his compliments. Its always uncomfortable for me. They stand right next to me and wait for my song to finish to talk to me which can be a couple minutes. Then they start having a conversation with me that I don’t want to have. Sometimes they’ll take up a seat near me until I’m done with all my songs and try to walk out with me. Its hard to complain about because no one wants to hear complaints about guys hitting on me, and they aren’t being rude. People will say they were just complimenting me, but I’ve never had a girl compliment me by coming up next to me and ask me how long I’ve been learning.
