As a person who also goes to bars and does crossword puzzles: yeah to that. In the best case scenario, you attract jackasses who scream incorrect answers repeatedly at you until you tell them to fuck off, in the worst, well...you get some other kind of jackass poorly working the puzzle into their artless hitting-on. Eesh. I feel for you.
Why don't you play the cymbals at the bar? Then, when someone comes over and is all, like, "Hey, whatcha doing?". You can be all, like, "Trying not to attract attention to how cool I look when I smash these super smart cymbals together! Sheesh, can't I play my cymbals in peace?"
Honestly, give the guy a break. He may have thought you were lonely. In a bar with your little books or crossword puzzles. But, you were not looking for attention and really into your puzzle.HA HA HA HA
Was he the only one that approached you? I thought so,
he just wanted to help you out by talking to you. Wear more lipstick or something. You won't need the props.
Why would you pick a bar, where you pay three times the price of a drink, to be completely alone! I love that Portland regards chit at in public akin to requesting a fisting.
You suck. Crosswords don't belong in a bar.

The word you were looking up was DESPERATE.
Is this when you yell out"Bartender, give me another round for the little guy and a VOWELL."
