By Nice guy finishing last. - 07/04/2017 12:00

Today, I saw a girl I have a crush on sitting on a fountain, away from everyone. I thought this would be the perfect time to make a move on her. I tapped her on the shoulder, which scared her. She nervously flenched and began to piss herself. FML

That's kinda concerning that she reacted so severely to being tapped on the shoulder. Maybe she was physically abused in a past relationship? Honestly this is more of a f her life than f your life

Either she has a nervous disorder, or you are a really scary dude. Im assuming the former, in which case you couldn't have known, so not your fault. If it's the latter...well, ydi, and you should probably stear clear of small children.

Nice guy finishing last? If you have to insist like that, then you're probably not as nice as you think you are. Also, if someone is sat on their own, they probably want to be left alone. Why would you tap her on the shoulder, anyway? Couldn't you have come into her view and SAID something? You're a dick, dude.

That's an awfully extreme reaction to being tapped on the shoulder. I'm more concerned with whatever the poor girl might be going through to spark that kind of reaction, she could have an anxiety disorder or something, or something bad could have happened to her before. Yet, your concern is "nice" guys finishing last. I also agree with those who said you should have used your words, not just touched her without her knowledge.

Could have been abuse; could just have poor musculature. Especially after giving birth, a lot of women can start peeing themselves a bit if they sneeze or cough. Possibly she just jumped enough that that's what happened. Mind you, she could have simply been absorbed in her book and not noticed you coming up, and you just scared the piss out of her, literally. Don't know why you're submitting this as a f *your* life though; poor girl must have been humiliated. :(

I think you should say hi to her at least once more. She may have been genuinely interested in you and is mortified by what happened. She would never have the nerve to approach you, so you should approach her and act as if the incident never happened. See how she reacts. This time make sure to position yourself where she'll see you and then speak to her rather than tapping.

It's a tap on the shoulder, you weirdos, not sexual assault. To be honest, I don't much like being touched, either, but the sort of finger-wagging reactions to any physical contact in some of these comments are the product of a seriously neurotic society. It just screws people up, leaving their problems to come out in all sorts of other unhealthy ways.
