How do you react when someone you’re not interested in flirts with you?

Question

This is a really good question for a couple different reasons it has happened to me before

And this happened like three times

At first is kind of funny. But then touching starts.

On all three cases I just was not interested in these girls

It kind of pissed me off a little bit because I would tell them to stop and they would just keep going

And in that moment I thought to myself so this is what girls have to go through and that's bullshit.

... And like I said it was funny at first but there comes a point where you're just saying hey back off and they're going to keep touching and that's bullshit so I feel bad for girls that they go through this... Flirting is one thing that touching is a whole another world

I am polite about it and tell her the truth in a respectful way that I am not interested in her in that way , but I like her as a friend , i only get upset with a girl that doesn’t take no for an answer that still tries to get with me after I clearly already told her No , then I will start being rude and tell her to open her ears up and listen to what I am saying.

I used to be flattered about it, but now it just annoys me so much because some people don’t take no for an answer. This guy will still say hi to me at the mall when he sees me. Despite telling him through text to stop talking to me when he sees me. I had to roll my eyes and him and sneer at him. He will just continue until recently I saw him holding hands with a girl, which I’m in such a relief

I kinda pity the guy but I tell him I appreciate his admiration and courage to tell me and tell him we can definitely still keep in contact as friends and who knows maybe in time h eend ship might end up turning into a n actual relationship.

If I'm really not interested, I just ignore them, act like I didn't hear, see or feel their flirt.

I have guy friends who are gay (I'm not) that flirt with me because they find my responses to it funny. I play along and have no problem with that.

I also have female friends who flirt with me in front of my wife. Again, I play along and nobody has a problem with it.. My wife would tell me if she did and I wouldn't let it happen again

What I don't enjoy however is when someone I don't know flirts with me. It makes me feel very uncomfortable. I have no idea whether they are serious or joking, or how far they intend for it to go.

If they are a friend then I would do all the above that you mention in the update, knowing that it is just enjoying time together and being a good personal friend with nothing else in mind.

I've got no problem telling people I'm not interested and asserting my personal boundaries. At least twice I had to really push the issue though. It is a bad day when someone as ugly as me has to tell someone in no uncertain terms to fuck off or I'll engage in pro-active self-defence.

I be polite and tell them I have no interest in them in that way. If they persist and I at least find them physically attractive I’ll fuck them or let give me an blowjob and then remind them that I previously told them I didn’t want a relationship past being platonic. At that point they really begin to listen and realize you were serious and weren’t playing hard to get.

BetaBucks · Answer

Politely avoid them. Which starts with ending the conversation, and ends with keeping away from them physically. I never clown them or try to make them feel bad about themselves. There's nothing wrong with shooting their shot.

RavVid · Answer

Well a female friend sort of becomes like your sister and a careless hug can remind you they aren't. A drunk one hugged me and my reaction was "Phoar she has got really firm breasts".

It wasn't the same afterwards.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

I have flirted with people I have no interest in, but when it gets uncomfortable I let them know I'm not into it lol

dustybiker2 · Answer

Be polite. If they don't get the hint be blunt. No use leading people on. No reason to be rude unless disrespected.

Nxtawm · Answer

If it’s someone ik, I’ll tell them straight up I’m not into it or them like that and tell them again if needed, otherwise I’ll just act dry, ignore them or try to get out of the situation

MisterWack · Answer

I would feel uncomfortable since I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND lmao.

Anonymous · Answer

Nothing. I mean I don't encourage them. But it's not my job to set them straight. I would say I feel bad, but I don't. Because if you had any idea how many women do this to men just because they enjoy the attention.
