[QUOTE="Mikaela Barree, post: 6348541, member: 6748861"] I understand your hesitance to make a big deal out of this. A lot of times, people get made uncomfortable and just "suck it up" or "deal with it" in silence because they don't want to rock the boat. I'd probably hazard a guess that some others in your group may feel the same way, and are similarly unhappy about it, but also don't want to bring it up out of fear of upsetting someone. This guy may not have been told to curb his actions, and probably doesn't know he's making people uncomfortable because no one has said anything. Those kinds of behaviors can be fine in a close-knit group of friends, who know that they're just joshing around, when no one feels alienated or uncomfortable. He's probably just behaving the same way around you as he would around a group like this, because he doesn't know that one is appropriate and one is not. I would say something, politely, and let him know it's detracting from your enjoyment. If he gives you pushback or is a jerk about it, then you know that he's probably not going to stop, and think about finding another place to play. Point being, if he responds to you being polite with dickery, you can see a bit more of his true colors. [/QUOTE]
