Receptionist at hotel I stayed at is pursuing me and I feel uncomfortable
DEAR DEIDRE: A MONTH ago I went back to my family’s town for a cousin’s funeral.
I stayed in a budget hotel and now the receptionist is pursuing me and I feel uncomfortable.
I want to go back to see family again but this guy has put me off.
I’m 27 and this man looked in his 30s.
He emailed me asking me on a date.
He said he couldn’t ask me in front of the other staff so checked my booking details later to get my contact information.

He told me as if I should be impressed but I only felt creeped out.
Now I’m too uncomfortable to stay there again.
