There's something that happened to me this week that i'd like to share with you all and get your feedback on...

The other day my boyfriend took me to the hairdressers across the road from where he works. The hairdresser is his friend and while I was getting my hair cut my bf waited in his office across the road. Anyway, normally trips to hairdressers in Turkey are fairly boring for me- I'm not fluent in Turkish and i'd rather just pass the time peacefully. Anyway, this particular hairdresser kept making eye contact with me and it made me cringe inside as I had to give fake smiles. Then he appeared to get closer to me than necessary and whilst he was washing my hair seemed to spend what I would class as too much time washing my hair and massaging my head (he used about 8 different shampoos- no joke!). I started to feel uncomfortable, wondering whether it was totally innocent or if I should trust my instincts and say something...

I remember reading something recently about how you should always go with you gut reaction... what do you think? What would you have done?

By the way, I didn't do anything about it and didn't say anything to my bf

Personally, I would mention to my bf that the hairdresser made me uncomfortable and that I was not sure if it was a cultural thing or if he was coming on to me.

I just wouldn't go back somewhere where I felt uncomfortable. Whether it was cultural or not...it doesn't matter.

I definitely would have said something about it. I remember when I sat in the train a while ago, and a guy came sit next to me and it was as if he was rubbing his leg to mine more and more, sort of pushing me against the window because that way I could avoid contact of my naked legs with his jeans. After a while I got annoyed and told him 'Ey that's my personal space, get your legs where they belong: on YOUR body, not mine!'.

But, it does make a difference when that person is a friend of your bf. I'd stick with Elisabeth and ask your bf about it, but do it without a blaming tone. İf you are very wrong, you will have accused a friend of him

Thanks guys. Definitely won't be going back there!

Personally I'd go back every week-I have very dirty hair!

Ha ha of course! (though you could be weird too!)
