Don't laugh at their jokes. It will be embarassing for you both, and then you don't have to be a jerk to anyone. I mean really you're leading them on by pretending that you're interested in talking with them.
I would have welcomed it. It's really hard to find people to be friends with that are my age where I live (SW FL). I'm not looking to get married again, but I probably wouldn't have mentioned that in the gym.
I pretty routinely go up to people and introduce myself. I attend conferences by myself a lot, and if I don't want to sit there talking into my iced tea, I need to get over myself and go up to people. Men, women, old, young... I like listening to people.
When I say "my age" I mean plus or minus about ten years. Somewhere between thirty or fifty. I have many friends that are retired... I try to not hang out with teens and college kids too much, their parents think it's creepy
You are in the best years of life then! The next best years will be the golden years, but those are the years you want to come slowly because these years right now are when the best in life happens, or at least I hope that for you!
anyway, I wasn't trying to hijack the thread, just using the example to show that sometimes, maybe, the guy isn't trying to pick me up. Maybe he just wants to say hi, or be friends, or tell me I have spinach between my teeth.
You say this was happening in a class? Simple enough just announce loudly so the room can here, "I don't date any guys that are not independently wealthy, so bugger off." I am sure this will stop the inappropriate advances from any of the guys* in the class. Nice does not cut it.
I have a question. Every time a guy hits on me or tries to flirt, I get really pissed off.
What's wrong with me? It really ruins my inner peace and I wish I could just wear a sign that says "if you are looking for anything more than friendship, then back off"
I'm sending all these negative vibes and attention from any guy really stresses me out. There was this guy in one of my classes - goodlooking but he just would not shut up and I was trying to pay attention to the coursework.
HOw can I become a more pleasant and kind person? How can I better handle these situations? I think I just brutally crush/offend guys who try to be nice and it's not that I want to.... but I try to make myself clear..... And I hate being in that situation.
Like laughing at a guy's stupid jokes that are not funny to not hurt his feelings (done that, it gets tiring)
Going off on someone because he suggested that we have a lot in common
Really I am on a roll.
I think it might be b/c I like someone else and right now is not a good time for me to get into these things anyway.... How can I send this message out loud and clear?
Jeez, another self-inflated female ego who thinks she's the OP on the P.
How boring. ZZZZzzzzz......
