So today I was in front of my home getting my kids an ice cream from the ice cream truck. There was a man talking to the lady so I stood back and waited for him to finish talking. He tells me sorry go ahead honey, so I proceed to tell the lady what ice cream I want. The guy starts off by telling me he likes my shirt, then asks where I got it and how much I paid. Followed by asking for the time. So the entire exchange he’s staring at my chest making me extremely uncomfortable, the lady takes a bit digging for the ice cream. I finally pay and he says have a beautiful day honey, I say thank you. He watches me walk in my house and I notice him walk across the street. He was holding a box, so I tell my boyfriend that he creeped me out. This happened at about 5:30 pm, at 8ish I hear a knock at the door, so my boyfriend goes out front and says it’s a guy selling chocolate out of a big box. IT’S the guy from the ice cream truck.
My boyfriend thinks he came to the door on purpose bc if he wanted to sell chocolate why not ask when I was next to him. Now I’m sketched out am I overreacting?

Trust your gut. Men are thirsty and sketchy AF
Way overreacting. Y’all afraid of your own shadows, what an awful way to live.
NOA – creeper!!
NOR The vibe is definitely off, if you don’t have a doorbell camera, get one. Maybe he was trying to flirt, hopefully seeing that you’re not single would be enough for him to move along.
Don’t let it take over your mind, but proceed with caution. Maybe just try to avoid him.
Keep a can of wasp spray on you at all times. Maybe even a tiny airhorn.
This thread exposing some things alright. Take a breath freak
Oh heeeeck no!! Creeper vibes all over this story. First guy was creeping on the ice cream lady. There’s no way he wasn’t and then he starts trying to talk to you while staring at your chest the whole time. He watches you walk home and then tries to come to only your home to “sell chocolate” stalker/murder/sa vibes for sure. NOR OP and please get some security cameras
CREEPY AS FUCK. ooof. nope.
Nor.. not necessarily. He was definitely trying to interact with you. Whether it was nefarious or not? Maybe he wanted to ask you out.. or maybe he was casing you and your home for something not good….
Nope, dont ever take your gut feeling or your insti5as over reacting
They are called survival instincts for a reason and this dude definitely should be setting off some internal alarms
Be sure to be aware of your area and try and get a picture or his name
NOR but damn… you live somewhere with ice cream trucks and dudes selling chocolate door to door? How far is my village from your village?
In the future, taking a walk around the block instead going into your house might be a better move. To avoid a person like that knowing where you live
Assuming you’re American, exercise that second amendment, girl
Make a police report
They probably won’t do anything but it may be a pattern and it might help someone else.
You can find maps of sex offenders in your neighborhood online. Probably start with the police department website. If he’s listed you’ll at least know what you’re dealing with and can prepare proportionately.
