Assuming she's not an abject loon, she's already humiliated. He went from that creepy dude who was certainly staring at her all the time to the creepy dude who is clearly obsessed. She didn't immediately tell Lucas to fuck off and is now paying the price.
Indeed, though I meant humiliated more in the sense of lucas spazzing out in the middle of the dining room at dinner in front of everybody at mallon place and causing a scene with her at the center of it. Thats quite a bit worse than what shes already gone through with him being weird around her and would make things pretty awkward around mallon place residents for awhile. I mean even when lucas got kicked out of the shelter with the nurse incident she never came back

Some men don't take well to being told to fuck off. Now add that Mallon is for people with some type mental problem, she may have feared he would get violet. She likely thought it was safer to tell the Creep she didn't want a boyfriend.
I wouldn't be surprised if thats exactly what happened. Given his size, crazy, eyes, weird behavior and obvious interest in her that always comes off as awkward and creepy at the best of times for him, she no doubt got very uncomfortable, particularly given his admissions of trying to get handsy with her, she likely figured he would wig out on her and cause a scene if she flat out told him to fuck off and she wasn't interested in his advances so she did what women always do in situations like that - pulled the 'sorry I don't really want to date anyone right now' or 'sorry I have a boyfriend' hoping lucas would either believe it or take a hint and back off. Despite what he says, he clearly didn't back off even while claiming to, given how he reacted the instant he got out of the psych ward and saw them together. There is also the possibility that lucas, being totally unable to read social cues and body language was oblivious to the fact she literally did have a boyfriend the entire time. If she was being civil to him it was out of fear, its a common self defense mechanism with women to go along with being 'nice' until they see an out or someone comes around who can intervene if things take a turn for the worse when she tries to gtfo out of the situation. Again, any normal man recognizes when a woman isn't interested and takes a hint when they do stuff like this. Lucas just takes not being directly told to fuck off and/or not insulted and called a creep or whatever as the next best thing to an invite to pursue her, implying shes interested. No doubt she did the nervous smile thing and pusher her hair out her eyes nervously and he took that as signs of interest as well
Lucas fundamentally can't be around people without supervision, especially women. It never ends well for him. He can't read social cues at all and doesn't understand basic socially acceptable behavior despite being told over and over and over again what is and isn't appropriate and getting in trouble for it. Its not like hes some kid in elementary school not being good at talking to people. Even someone as stupid as lucas you'd think would pick up on at least a few things about behaving properly by now. He's 45 ffs. Can you imagine what it would have been like for him in prison if he got busted for the cp and underage shit? With his attitude and lack of social awareness he'd have been eaten alive by the competent predators and gotten his ass beaten on a regular basis, if not worse. His regular refusal to bathe alone would cause a ton of trouble for him. and no cellie would put up with his ranting about women, bigotry and everything else. He's got nothing worth extorting out of him except sex, which nobody would want for obvious reasons so he'd be fucked for protection. He'd end up on one of those prison stories channels getting stabbed 50 times while tied to the bunk by his cellie a week into his sentence. Especially after the block shot caller found out about his pedo history

He needs to learn sleeping on the street. Again. Nobody at Mallon Place deserves to deal with this disgusting rapist wannabe. He's a menace.
Absolutely. He's gotten far too comfortable at mallon place and now feels entitled to behave in classic wern fashion. He's forgotten how shitty his life was on the street and what he has to lose at this point and is entitled as fuck. When he gets his ass thrown out he'll have every second of it coming. People go to places like mallon place to be kept safe and provided for because they need it. Lucas is a danger to everybody there and not someone they should have to tolerate in their community
