Respectfully decline. He had to overcome his anxiety to talk to you.

A thank you but no thank you would work fine in most people.

You wouldn't have to worry about me first of all I never make the first move and if I did and it was plain to see you or not interested I would take that as a big no and I would not only back off I would back off permanently these days I live by a saying I will Express a little bit of interest but if it does not come to me it is not meant to be and I'll leave it alone

I report , get them locked up, if they are crossing a line.

When it comes to creepy men, they usually don't target just one person. It is a pattern that needs be stopped.

If it is just some guy flirting, I make it clear I am taken and I don't like it.

Sometimes, to entertain myself, I scare them away by mentioning my brother who is pretty big guy and well ranked in the military.

If a man shows interest in you, but you're not interested, simply say "no" or "I’m not interested." If they continue, simply ask them "what part of 'I'm not interested' or 'no' don't you understand?
I toughened up and became unapproachable. I wore a small sheathed knife around my neck for a long time. Those kinds of men don't come near anymore. They think because you're sweet they can ruin you.

It doesn’t happen often really. I think my resting face is not super approachable. Plus I’m awkward as shit, so they don’t really approach me.

The times it’s happened, I ignore, and if that doesn’t work I will tell them straight out to “back off”.

I always have pepper spray and a knife on me in case needed (haven’t had to use it).

A mace does miracles.

If you are harassed by men that don't understand the words "not interested", "no", or "leave me alone", then take a mace or pepper spray out of your purse or pocket and demonstratively raise your arm and point it at the person's face. That should take care of business.

Well you could just walk away or just say I'm not interested and then walk away. There's no reason why they should follow you.

I open carry pepper spray in public. That's how I deal with them.

As nice as possible

@Stephie pretty much covered it.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
I said I am not interested, no. That should do it.
HumanEarth · F
I tell them I'm a man

I used to say I am seeing someone but that one time I called myself a lesbian.
Miram · 31-35, F
Ask them for money.

@WowwGirl

doesn't hurt as a deterrent? I think most men will know they needn't approach before that'll need to be used. But i would guess there's men that would find buying any feminine hygiene products embarrassing. Never bothered me... it's obvious I'm not going to be using them..LOL 😄
Besides, it's part of life.
WowwGirl · 36-40, F
@Elisbch should not bother men but does a lot

@WowwGirl

I would say they haven't been in a long serious relationship then. Maybe they need to mature a bit..LOL 😄🙄
Don't deal with them.. avoid them like the plague .. those types always have bad intentions right off that bat it's 100% disrespectful ..

Oh I know. I know it's a virus that can't be cured but is there any effective treatment?

Dormant viruses in some species get active quickly in others. Eg bats carry rabies around and spread it

@Thrust I don't know much about treatments or dormancy in animals man. I got a stray that had feline AIDS though and it lived to 12 with medicine. So anything possible
@WowwGirl That HSV-2 line is such a mood killer.
