We all get em at one point or another.....

Someone gets the hots for you and loses perspective of the difference between flirting or casual conversation and decides.....THEY WANT YOU. (I am refering to those who pitch woo on the internet)

How do YOU deal with it? Cause there is no way in Hell it is ever gonna work and not everyone is bright enough to take a hint.

Generally, I am polite and stick and move until some other poor sucker wanders into the crosshairs and catches the unwanted wooing. It may not be as bluntly up front as "You ain't my type"...but it is an effective tactic and mostly enables you to salvage some good friendships.

I guess the thing is...I have a hard time popping someones heart shaped balloon...anyone else got a problem with handling the ones coming at you like a love struck puppy?









just being upfront seems the way to go, you did it with me ,,,lol:tongue:


Yeah but....you wanted a guy with morals who don't shave before attending photo ops.....That's asking a LOT!

Yes, been there several times. Some can take a hint, but a lot are persistent. I learned that you really have to state the obvious no matter how hurtful it may sound, because anything other than that will be misconstrued as a sliver of chance you are extending to let them have a go at you. It's like them thinking you are keeping the door open for options, when in reality you are not. In these cases, I would rather lose the "friend" than the object of my affection.


I am hopeless at this, dont see it coming, and cant get out of it, I feel bad itf I make them feel bad, and then It just gets worse cause everyone feels bad..

Biggest problem I get is, whenever I am single none of the people I like are interested in me. The minute I start dating someone, bam!, they are suddenly deeply in love with me.


People want what they can't have. Human nature. I found that out the hard way by being too available. Then she didn't want me anymore.

Sometimes women do like a challenge. Men who are too easy or too available are scary because it looks like they don't have a life. That means that they will very likely be too much into yours constantly. That will scare them away.

My advice to a lot of people is to do something and have a life and don't be so focused on procuring a woman. Be more interesting than that.

Some people just like games, like the chase. Once they have what they wanted, they're not interested anymore. That is a big turn off.

And yes, definitely don't spend your life just worrying about whether you can get someone or not. Have a life of your own and people will find you more interesting.

I also don't enjoy telling people that their affection is not a mutual thing, but I believe it would be worse if I let them think that they have a chance when they do not. It would be like leading them on on false pretenses.

Some friendships survive, some don't. Bottom line, the boundaries are clearly drawn.

Give them what they thought they could not have. Call them 20 times a day. Text them every 2 minutes.. and all of the sudden they don't want it anymore.
Unfortunately this tactic does not work with really desperate crazy guys. In that case you'll just have to change your number, and move to another city. Maybe even change your name..lol

Nah, seriously.. I usually just tell them straight up that I am not interested. If they still don't get the hint, I ignore them. Eventually they will stop contacting me.
But never lead them on in the first place. That's really the key.

I had to tell one woman straight out that I wasn't interested.

We used to hang out with a group of friends on Monday nights for music. She was a lot of fun to hang out with and made me laugh. Then she started giving me neck rubs....and she was good at it. Then she got a boyfriend that looked similar to me, and had to point it out with photos. Then she would scratch my beard under the chin, and call me "Fuzzy" like a nickname. Eventually, she got rid of her boyfriend as the holidays were approaching. She told me it was going to be the first Christmas she had ever spent alone....no boyfriend, no family. She asked what I was doing, so I told her what my family does every year. She said, "I wish I could be there." That's when I thought "whoa....now she wants me to invite her over for Christmas..."

So, I had to take her aside. We talked for a bit about our own pasts (I was trying to discourage her to no avail), and then I told her flat out. "You are a good friend....I like being around you a lot. You are attractive and funny. I know you like me, but truth is, I just have no sexual attraction to you." The last part was purposely blunt, but I hoped the first part would prevent her from freaking out. Wrong!

She stopped coming out on Monday nights. She cut herself off from all her friends. She moved to a different part of the State. Up there, she found a new boyfriend, but became a bit snobby when old friends contacted her. When she finally did come out on a Monday night, it was only to show off her new boyfriend....an attempt to flaunt him in my face.

Guess what? I didn't care.

frustrated frustrated frustrated frustrated frustrated I think that it is more interesting if you ar taken as it seems to make you a challenge.
I try and very very nicely say I am with someone and I'm really happy, and then I get but I will be waiting , just in case.. How can you still be good friends then. becaseu you have to be careful what you say and it sort of destroys it..
I love being friendly and I love having friends to share my everythought, not that most of them make much sense, but i happly talk about anything. If someone wants to listen..

Just have to learn who wants to be friedns and who wants to hang around waiting..You feel a little like you have avulture sitting there waiting to gobble you up.

Hmmm maybe if you are with someone they think you are ok as you are not by yourself..

But what they dont know is that I constantly nag and control people... So really they dont want me anywaytongue2
