Forget the whole thing ever happened. You can't change the world Josh. Your girl is never going to be all yours either - other guys will always steal looks here and there when they can and without being blatantly obvious about it - THAT'S NORMAL.
Common sense also goes a long way. A cell phone works wonders. No cell phone? Speed enough to get pulled over by a police officer. Whatever happened, whats most important is that everything is ok now. Would be nice if she got a plate number, so police could see if this guy really is dangerous (priors, sexual offenses, etc.) Use this as a lesson to take precautions in the future - always have a cell phone handy is my motto. Sounds lame, but what else can you do after the matter? Be mad over something you can't change? It's done.
Also whats with that last line? I'm 32 years old, and I check out every 18+ hot momma I see. The day I stop is the day I go blind. If you get with it - all's well and good - but if I do, I'm a dirty old man right?...LOL - all's fair in love and war buddy. Two kinds of people like to perpetuate the "dirty old man" frame of mind. 1.) The younger guys who watch me make off with their hopes and dreams. 2.) The old hags who can't get the time of day from me anymore...lol.
Sounds like she did a decent job of avoiding the guy. By staying behind him, at least he wasnt able to follow her easily.
That happened once to, now my wife years ago. I would be upset that something like that happened but I would be more thankful that she is ok and told you about the whole thing.

Awesome point!!! You dont want to get upset and make her afraid to talk to you about that kind of thing. If she tells you something like that, its okay to be upset, but dont take it overboard and certainly dont take it out on her. If you do, than next time something like that happens, she will remember what happened last time and not tell you in fear of you acting childish and placing blame on her again.
Big difference between gawking at a hot chick as she passes you (or you pass her), and trying to impeed, change, or block her desired path and direction of driving. I'd say that GMC driver went over the top, and should be diciplined with suspension of driving privledges for at least 6 months. Highways are for the public, not for trying to intimidate, bully, or otherwise perfect strangers.
What do yall expect from a guy driving a GMC? he couldnt have been that stable in the first place, or otherwise he would be driving a ford!
I still look at 15 and 16 year old girls when i drive(im only 16), but in no way to i try and play bumper cars with them when they are going down the road. thats very dangerous, immature, and kinda scary when you think about what coulda happened. Also, dont get mad at your wife when something like this happens, or whe will be scared to tell you if something else happens to her like this, ok?
I would have hoped my woman got his plate number, track it, find out where he lives, and go scare him abit, possibly whoop his @ss, that kind of act is exactly what causes road rage, stupid chevy drivers!
Ok. That guy was a creep and should have been reported. However, I think your girlfriend handled it well. She got away safely didn't she? And by staying behind the guy, she was able to ditch him at her exit.
In this case, going with your gut feeling is the best. If it were me, I would have pegged this guy as a creep, got his plate#, and called 911 on my cellphone as he was watching me. Hell, I would even have let him follow me off of the exit ramp, and right to the nearest police station, if I felt he was dangerous.
But she did good. She was probably really scared when this all happened, and it seems like she kept her cool. Tell her that she always needs to keep a small pad of paper and pen, within hands reach, for any type of emergencies. And that she know where the nearest police and fire stations are located by her commute. Have her keep her doors locked while she is in it. And get her a small can of pepper spray and velcro it to her dash, where she can reach it easily. Not only does she need to worry about creeps like that guy, but also car jackers. And she might already know this, but she should keep her pocket book locked up in the glove box or console, or on the floor tucked under her seat if it's too big. This is for those creeps that reach in the window, while she sits in traffic.
Being a woman driving a big truck, I always have guys speeding up trying to get my attention. I usually just smile, and wave back if they wave, and then turn my head to show that I'm not interested in anything else. They get the hint. If they don't, I can always run them off of the road
Next time if this should ever happen, when the guy was in front
it would have been easy to take an exit circle around a few minutes and get back on the road and continue on. Who knows
next time the other person may be looking with a gun.
