And if the guy didnt try he wasnt aggressive or man enough. I wanted to see if he would fight for me

The whole "creepy" thing is over exaggerated. The guy gave it his best shot and it's over.

Maybe she can learn to he more assertive from now on.

I was relaying what happened.

She is finished with it. Done.

Great!! Finally... 100 posts later, I bet everyone is relieved to hear about this happy ending.

BTW: your topic question was WWYD - so you did ask our opinion, OP.

Yeah, and you keep saying ‘that should be enough now’, after every time she said that. So I suggested that’s what you said, you said “no, someone else..,” so I quoted where you did, and suddenly I have a problem, for showing what I meant? Touchy touchy.

Maybe he’ll get it now, or maybe he has a problem “getting it”, which is what he’s showing, and also what the thread is about.

Exactly, Its so obvious and lil time to argue with someone that is always one sided.

Whats “lil time to argue with someone”? Good thing it’s obvious for you 2, it would be nice if it would FINALLY be obvious for Rose Creeper in OP, something says he may not have finally gotten it yet..

Gonna have to be more direct, and tell her coworkers he’s not allowed at her desk any more.
Perhaps she can take that rose, snap it in half and leave it on HIS chair at work.

I don't know what you're sorry about or why you keep wanting her to drag it out. Not gonna happen. She didn't ask for your advice or mine. No coaching is required.

There is nothing else for her to do or say. No more dates, no more calls, no more contact. Her voice is not soft. No means no. I'm not interested means exactly that. Don't contact me again means don't contact me again.

Most everyone here said that she was not firm or direct enough. That's a fact, because she didn't got her message across, effectively. We didn't want to drag it out. We just waited for her to say it right, finally. Obviously coaching was required...

I think some women just don't know how to say "no" properly, and some men know that "no" could be interpreted as "yes", "maybe", " let me think about", "not now", "try harder" etc.
A firm "no" should be accompanied by appropriate body language, voice tone, and facial expression. Just because some men, and obviously the man in question, have hard time to read the clues.

It would be even more complicated in the future, because we tend to text, and people just dont know how to interract with each other in real life/person to person.
