Propositioned outside the Ballston Metro

April 11, 2011 By Contributor

A man saw me as I exited the Ballston Metro, lit a cigarette, and walked over to stand next to me. He began by asking a question about a metrobus and then asked me if I liked him. He continued, saying he was on the DL, liked my voice, and thought I was sexy and wanted to know if I liked big black cock. Then he asked if I wanted to see his. After repeatedly telling him that I was not interested he finally left me alone and walked away, probably to prey on another guy.
