How do you deal with unwanted romantic attention?


Don't hesitate to be cold and bitchy. Works a little too effectively but I don't mind it haha. I'm not heartless but I understand that I am not supposed to be giving it out to everyone.
In real life, just politely let them down really. If colleagues, just have to tell them the truth that you're simply unavailable. Online, they can be persistent so just ignore.
I hint them that I like someone else 🤔
Call the police.

I totally ignore the person. So I don't encourage them
I laugh it off and change topic or tell them I am married to a beautiful woman and we're pregnant
I ignore it. pretend it's not there. I never notice it in the first place.
Sometimes with a restraining order.
Shy girls asking guys out. Try not to cringe:

I’ve had women cold approach me before. And I do feel bad for rejecting them.
NYC Subway, Manhattan streets, girls over here are savages. Confidence through the roof. I always reject them in the nicest way possible “I admire your courage but I’m taken”- Smile, and walk away.
The only time I gave a girl my number (my work number) is when she was genuine about the approach. “I’m working on building my confidence and I was wondering if I could get your number”.
For me, it's always worked to just ignore their advances for a day or two, then they go away. I might have had one or two really persistent girls, but then I've just pulled them aside and told them as politely as possible that it's not going to happen.
If they don't bother me that much then I don't do anything. But the moment it goes out on my every day life in some way or the other, then I sitt down with them and just Flatt out say "we will never date, and that's not your fault but I need to tell you this so you can move on, we will never happen"
Depends. If I can, I just ignore them. If they are forward but polite, I politely but firmly decline. If they're rude, I may be rude too.
And if they're actually scary, it depends again. I've been groped in a tight crowd once. I was just scared, so I changed positions with friends until he could no longer reach me, instead of being brave and making a scene.
I’m sorry that happened to you. I’ve had women make a scene for just approaching them. I would never put my hands her without her consent.
@sonnysunshine yeah I'd be a bit more proactive nowadays too (not unfair or anything).
Well on the flip side those shitty embarrassing incidents make me more nervous to approach
@sonnysunshine well they don't need to be embarrassing.
A guy twice my age randomly came up to me in a club and asked if I wanted to grab a drink sometime. I said something like 'No, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested'. Then I resumed dancing with my friends who were all 'ohh that must have been so annoying poor you'. I found it perfectly fine; he straight out asked, so I could straight out answer, while I felt perfectly safe and not creeped out at all.
Sometimes, honesty is the best way to go. As long as you stay easygoing and try not to give off any 'I'm imagining you naked now'-vibes :p
That guy handled it the way he should have and you responded the way you should have.
Yes it’s sometimes weird for older guys to approach younger women. But some younger women like that (as I have discovered). He has no idea.
@sonnysunshine depends on the age. An unattractive guy over 40 hitting on a 20 years old girl is quite different from a 30-something approaching a woman 10 years younger.
Yes I get your point. The rule is half my age plus 7. That wasn’t appropriate of him BUT as you said he didn’t make any creepy comments nor made any physical move.
I tell you though that dating as 30something is weird. Some younger girls like me more and others get creeped out for saying hello.
Guess it depends if the guy aged well or not.
@sonnysunshine well point is, I wouldn't mind dating an older or younger guy if he at least seemed to be of the same generation. We need to be able to talk on the same level, I am not attracted to guys who could have children my age.
I blow them away with a Hadouken because it's down right fierce.
I'd straight up let them know I'm not interested. Usually they stop if they have any self respect. And the shameless ones who persist, I just don't respond to them and ignore them completely.
Oof I hate it, I feel trapped because I don’t want to hurt their feelings, but I don’t like them. Especially when they never take a hint.
Don't you feel bad breaking all them hearts though? lol
Well i don’t get it much but yeah it rlly sucks. I never know what to do. Some people say to be rude but I don’t want to. It’s rlly impossible to be nice and get the point across🤦♀️
Yea I get it
How would you suggest it?
Well I can see that you are a beautiful girl and it has got to be hard with guys always bothering you like that so really the only option is to either make up a little white lie and say you are taken already or tell them you do not feel like dating at the moment.
Ok thanks
It's possible to be nice and get the point across. Just be blunt. Gentle, yet firm. You avoid wasting his time, which is the rudest thing you could do to him. After all, mean words and actions may damage emotions and self-esteem, but those can be regained. However, what about time? He has a limited amount of that. He can never regain it once it's lost. I hope this helps!
Thanks I’ll try!!
Just do this. It works in these kinds of situations as well.
Firmly yet politely let them know that I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not interested.

Ignore, be stuck up and mean- it works for majority
But women do this even with guys they are interest in 😨
@sunofdavis what? then they really dont love them
ignore them and if that doesn’t work then i tell them i don’t like them and to leave me alone
Let me Guess...
*Tries to remember what unknowngaguser did with him last time*
Ahemm...
*Fails to recall, and goes unconscious thinking too deep*
I would tell them straightforward that I’m not interested and they’re wasting their time with me.
I personally would feel grateful. People want attention then they don't want attention, it's either one or the other. You're either are romantic or not.
No one ever approaches me in person. Always online. But i always block them
All attention is good for the confidence of a person
I've never experienced sucha thing. All romantic attention is welcome. I just say no if I don't want them.
See how much useful work and blowjobs I can get out of her before she becomes to annoying to handle then ignore her tell she takes a hint
easy with women, they back off fast. stop talking, go somewhere else.
yell out my window to my neighbor to put the binoculars down...
Not sure, i haven't had a girls openly show interest in me since i left school.
And people say im way too oblivious to notice subtle hints and signs.
Tell them to bugger off. If they keep persisting I punch them.
Lean back observe the show that person accomplish.
It can be very amusing.
At the same time go on with what I'm up to.
For men, it's easy: Tell them I'm not interested. Fuck them anyway, and then tell them I'm not interested. Block/unfriend them (for the more uglier ones).
I don't. People are allowed to like me, even if I don't feel the same way toward them.
I lead them on, if I like them a lot I have sex with them. If I’m not attracted, I get a bj.
I'm pushing 70. I'll take any attention I can get ;- )
I'm always up front with people that I'm not interested in it make it absolutely clear I'm not interested or available
I rub my nipples and start licking my lips and hump the air aaaa baby throw me againt that desk mommy
Fufufufufufu!
I get no romantic attention at all IRL!
Just be straight with that person that your not interested
I like it. It’s just sometimes it’s risky to show it at certain places.
Ignore at first. If they don’t get the hint then politely yet directly tell them. If that doesn’t work then it’s time to get pissed.
Being mean to men isn't the answer ladies. Keep doing that along with continue to lie and play games and u will be single in your 30s and no man will want to date u.
Reject it or ignore it
Two words: "Rack off!"
From a guy you don't like, or just the guy you like, but, isn't the right time?
I’m not sure since I never experienced it, probably just tell them to stop
I don't, because I don't get any lmao.
Ignore and disappear. I'm a bastard.
Why does he need binoculars?
Tiny butt?
I'll let her suck my dick. But I let her know I'm not interested in datng her.
Ignoring is the best option
Il just say "no sex for 3 weeks".
Try 3 years
Tell them I’m not that much into them.
My alarm clock deals with that.
Bang her. Then tell her I'm not interested.
A colt 45 has a lot of stopping power.
i ignore them. i do not awknowledge it at all.
Ignore is the best way though
I say in a polite manner that I am not interested.
You mean like this 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I try making myself unlikable
I walk away without a word.
I honestly just ignore them
Tell them I have a boyfriend
I ignore it. Success rate: 100%
