Description
The protagonist works with a man who stalks female customers and tries to get information about where they live. He makes inappropriate comments about the protagonist's body. He likens others teasing him for being a virgin to rape. In general, he has very regressive and misogynist opinions, and the author portrays him as insufferable.
The protagonist invites him to live in her home so she can pretend to date him and others will stop commenting that she should be married at her age. He continues to disrespect her the entire time until they separate by the end of the book.
