Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 02/11/2015 (3985 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I am 23. I had no idea my neighbour could look inside the windows of my new apartment because I moved in during the summer when there was tons of light until late at night. I have to go to bed early because of my work shift. A neighbour — about my age and very cool-looking in his business suits — leaves for work early in the morning at the same time I do. Lately, he has been making pointed comments about my clothes. Then yesterday he said, “You certainly looked lovely the morning — all of you.” I said “What do you mean?” and he laughed, jumped into his car and left.
Later it dawned on me: “all of me.” Had he somehow seen me naked? Then I figured it out. When I turn on my light in the morning now, it is dark outside and he lives in the block next door. He must be on my side of the building and can see in my window. I sleep with the window open and the curtains apart to get some fresh air.
Last night I slept with the curtains pulled shut and didn’t even open them in the morning. At the car, he looked at me and said, “Aww, game over. I thought I should throw you a hint in case some creepy guy sees you.” Then he winked and got into his car. Now what do I do? I thought about him all day. I feel we have a secret together and we kind of know each other. How do I approach him?
— Suddenly Interested, Winnipeg
Dear Interested: Next time you see him, say: “You should have told me earlier, but thanks for finally letting me know. I didn’t realize anyone was getting a view.” That should open the conversation. Then start making small talk with him in the morning about your car heater or lack of one, something in the news or a joke. If he doesn’t take the hint you’re interested in him, he may have a girlfriend already. Because of the situation, you shouldn’t ask him out on a date first, but you can become friends slowly and see where it goes from there.
