Creep Alert

I (45F) met a 30s-something British dude named George at Squalicum the other day who was riding around on a one-wheel with his dog. We got to chatting while I was petting his dog and I complained about how obscene the cost of rent is in this town, that I was having a hard time finding something, and that I’d been alternating between staying with friends and van life. He mentioned that he coincidentally had a room for rent, seemed normal enough, and I liked his dog. I also point blank asked him, “Are you a pervert, are you a racist, are you a psychopath, are you a Zionist?” He laughed and said no, which I’m fully aware doesn’t mean shit. **He didn’t know what a Zionist was.

We exchanged numbers and I texted him the next day to ask if I could come by and see the place as a short-term, month-to-month rental possibility until I found a studio.

He said yes, but then added something to the effect of “I was going to see if you have massage skills and might be down to trade a massage for a place to stay tonight.” 🫩

I responded, “Re-read your last message and consider how that might land for a woman who is experiencing housing insecurity,” and then blocked him.

If anyone knows George, the British dude who rides a one-wheel… he’s a total and complete creep and I hope that something unsavory befalls him. Females/femmes… STAY AWAY. He is in fact a pervert.
