ok, sharp. here is my thing. there are so many men out there who would love to do nasty things to girls. we all know this. and it freaks us out (expecually as Christian women....) we dont really want anything to happen. as for walking away and waiting for another elevator, i would do that for any man. not just you. it doesnt matter if it was a perv or not. i am not comfortable riding in an elevator (a thing which i am already uncomforable with) with a man i dont know. idk, maybe i have watched WAY to many movies where bad stuff happens in elevators....lol so its not just you. men on principle make a lot of us nervous. so dont take it personally. i am actually trying to make it where im not like this anymore. some of the best friends a girl can have is a male friend. they can let us know what is going on in the male mind and if a guy scares us and is being a true perv, all we have to do is..."hey, so and so is being a perv...take care of him for me!!" and most guys will defend their female's friend's honor. its great!
also, i really dont like to make eye contact. i was really shy when i was younger and i am still trying to get over that with the eye contact thing. that is the last thing i need to conquer.. so yay! um as for other girls. think, they might have had a bad experience, like sexual abuse and they are terrified that someone else is going to do that to them again. it is an irrasional fear. one that is not easily taken out of your makeup once you have been sexually abused. that could account for some of the skittishness. hope that helped a little bit at least!
God bless!!!
