" Hey ladies! The male species can pretty much be divided into two categories: &amp;quot;Creeps&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Not Creeps.&amp;quot; This division is especially critical when it comes to making real guy friends\u2014you know, nice, normal guys who want to hang out, not stalk you. While most weirdos are totally harmless, you have to be cautious so you avoid ending up in a dangerous situation. So far this year, I&amp;#039;ve come across both creeps and not-creeps, and I&amp;#039;ve pinpointed a few key tips to help you determine on which side a guy falls. Through the duration of a typical conversation, you can identify a creep by:  The Introduction: You&amp;#039;d think guys would know by now that a friendly, nonthreatening &amp;quot;hello&amp;quot; is the easiest way to strike up a casual conversation. Some of the slimy ones, however, are identifiable from the start. One red flag is when a guy gets too close too fast. (Ex: It&amp;#039;s not that loud in here, so why&amp;#039;s this guy so close to my cheek?!) I learned this the hard way\u2014a drunk guy leaned in reeealll close just to introduce himself, and, I kid you not, within two minutes he was trying to get his hand around my neck to pull me in for a sloppy kiss. It was so uncomfortable, not to mention completely unacceptable! I should have known from the very beginning of the conversation, but instead I had to duck away at the last minute and hide behind a giant basketball player. The Conversation: There are two topics that should be off-limits for conversations between two people who just met moments earlier: sex and drugs. In my case, there was a seemingly nice guy who passed the introduction test, and the conversation was fun and natural until, out of nowhere, &amp;quot;Have you ever done cocaine?&amp;quot; First of all, girls, the answer is absolutely not. I do not do drugs. More importantly, why would anyone ask in the middle of a normal conversation about Rascal Flatts?! The answer: He&amp;#039;s a creep. I found out later that he is not only a hardcore drug dealer, but he also was once accused of attempting to sexually assault a girl after giving her cocaine. Disgusting. The Farewell: Before he says goodbye, he may ask for your number. I say this with a heavy heart, as I&amp;#039;m still dealing with the consequences of not following this rule\u2014do not give a guy your number unless you legitimately want him to contact you. I typically back out of the conversation before it gets to this point, but in one instance, there was a seemingly normal though slightly weird guy who asked for my number. I figured, hey, what&amp;#039;s the harm? Well, the harm is this: I&amp;#039;m still getting four or five texts from him a week, and I haven&amp;#039;t seen him since the first week of school. There are a TON of creepy guys out there who will jump at the opportunity to text you nonstop, which is actually a form of sexual harassment and should absolutely not be tolerated. Oh, and keep your last name out of things at first, unless you want a new Facebook stalker.  What are your tips for warding off creepy guys? Let me know!  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
