Extremely Disturbed

Look, what I'm trying to bring up here isn't suppose to sound racist or have anything to do with any racial interaction issues. Instead, I am merely emphasizing on the dilemma of the matter.

Earlier on after service at church, I was planning to take away lunch from the cafeteria. I didn't notice much about the surroundings until this 25 year old Nigerian guy came up to me and initated a conversation. Of course, on fair grounds, I would definitely not be rude and just interact with whatever he was saying. Although it was hard to understand. Nevertheless, I still tried to listen.

After paying for my own lunch, he invited me to join him and his friends at a table nearby. Initially, I assumed such approach to be pretty harmless. Hence, I went there with an open mind, sat down and mingled around.

Slowly, I started to realize that I felt uncomfortable. The feeling went intense after a few seconds. He was being too pushy. Demanding for answers to his questions within like, What?? 5 minutes?!! I felt that it was too much for an acquaintance to know.

He blurted out sentences about getting together and marrying him. ?!?!? Somewhere along the line. I felt really appalled and repulsed. I wouldn't mind if he was kidding but he sounded so solemn and was literally demanding for my number and insisting on visiting me. I had the urge of telling him that I wasn't comfortable giving him my number. That includes, hanging out with him and what more.. Marrying him. What the Hell.

Due to his persistence, and the tension I was getting, I couldn't help but gave him my stupid phone number. In my mind, I was practically wailing for help from my friend Audrey and at the same time giving him a frozen and forceful smile.

When Audrey saw me, she quickly called for my name and asked me to leave. I was relieved. Finally, Audrey came. Obligated, I bid goodbye to this guy. Here's the worst part, before I stood up and was about to leave, he grabbed my hand which was resting on my lap, from under the table! I was seriously stunned and shocked. At that point, I felt like crying because the grab wasn't a casual-friendly one. Instead, it was more like a grasp with deep meaning swirling within. That was what made me felt extremely disturbed.

As I was wearing a short skirt, when I stood up, he went staring (without guilt) at my legs. I was really... Speechless. Felt so upset and quickly left the scene.

When I got into the car with Audrey (who was fetching me back), I was too shocked to speak. My lips couldn't utter any words. Audrey knew it and told me that in future, I should reject straight in such guys' faces. She said, she will let the pastor of the church who deals with Nigerians know about this case.

Although it was only a 5 minutes interaction with the guy, till now, I still cant get over with the shock. I am feeling very disturbed.
