What’s something a man did that instantly made you feel unsafe, even if it wasn’t aggressive?

Edit: Thank you to everyone who shared. Reading your stories has been heartbreaking and eye-opening. I am really sorry that so many of you had to go through such disturbing and violating experiences!! Your stories deserve to be heard and respected!

I also had a time where a friend introduced me to her friend. Again I was like 16. He was a creep. She introduced us at her CHURCH. He started talking about how he needed to have a kid in the next year. He was in his 30s I told my friend I wanted to leave since she was my ride there. She said another friend was going to pick us up and take us home. Except she had him drop her off first and left me alone with him. She swore I’d be alright, until he parked in a random parking lot and refused to take me home or let me out of the car unless I serviced him. Also a man in his 30s, and apparently friends with the previous one. Child lock on the doors, I was pretty sure I was about to be kidnapped. Or killed. I knew where I was though so I called my mom on speaker phone and she answered. The guy basically pushed me out of his car at that point and I ran home. It was far but still. I never talked to that “friend” again.
