Turning someone down

[masonguy]

Lots of great advice and different approaches...I prefer being polite and saying no thanks...usually works for me...even with some of the pushy guys.

Unfortunately being honest and blunt hardly ever works. So a few of my old faithfuls are:

"Not right now, I just got here." Or "Can't. I'm waiting on someone." And "Later. I haven't even gotten a drink yet."

 

If you're trying to get another dancers attention, approaching them works but if you're being coy, a little eye contact and a smile goes a long way.

 

I agree.

If they insist on touching/rubbing me.....I gently move their hand away and repeat a simple "No thank you".

 

If they touch me again....I grab them firmly by the wrist, look them in the eye and say....

"If you touch me again I'm going to break your wrist"....works 100% of the time.

 

Priceless!

The last time I was at a club, when approached I simply said: "Sorry, I am just the Uber Driver waiting on my ride"

 

Too funny!

Leave any attitude about not wanting to be bothered at home.

 

Bothered or assaulted?

Bothered or assaulted?

 

It's been established that we disagree on the terminology. If you feel assaulted, you should call the police.

I've found that "Maybe later" generally works for me, it gets the point across without being rude for no reason. If they sit and chat you up, just don't be responsive. They don't want to work hard for what they know will not be a reward.
