Idk how else to react.
At the point where someone does something to me or says something weird and I go non verbal. The silence says it all.

Then please be careful.
Many decades ago my mother advised me to ignore the approach of any man I didn't like.
Overtime, I learned that was a dangerous tactic - that many men didn't recognise silence and non-response as a clear no.
I learned that a polite and serious "no" or "no thanks" works best. It leaves him in no doubt.
I also found it worked well to tailor my response to the tone of his approach. If he was rude and sexist, I responded in kind. If they were builders on a site I had to pass everyday, I spoke to the foreman and threatened to inform the police.
If they got physcial, I kicked HARD.
If he was kind and approached in a decent way, I showed him the ring on my left hand.
