No Means No

When a woman says "no" to a man...what is it that he doesn't seem to understand? The little runt that followed me around ALL night Saturday was one of these men. He kept asking me to dance...I kept telling him no. He'd persist and try to pull me out of my chair. I planted my feel firmly on the ground and again said no. He starts buying me beers in hopes that I will get drunk and change my mind. I told him flat out, "Stop buying me beers...there is no way I'm going to go out there and dance!" Still he persisted. I couldn't get away from him...he was like a pesky fly. Everywhere I went, he followed, I just wanted to squash him.

When the country club started kicking us out so they could close, many of us went to The Whistlepost Tavern (the local hang out). Guess who follows us there...yup and he sat himself at our table and continues the annoying chatter. Thank freakin' goodness one of my best friends, Jeff, works there and was our server. I whispered my little dilemma in his ear and he grinned at me wickedly. For the rest of the night, Jeff acted as my boyfriend. He'd pretend to whisper things in my ear as he walked by and we were very touchy feely...Fortunately for me, it worked. I think Chris definetly got the hint. Jeff, buddy, thanks for having my back! I owe you.

I really do hate that. Why is that that when you tell someone exactly what you think or feel they think you might not really know how you feel or what you think and you need to be asked again and again.... AAAAHHH.

It's great to have the "boyfriend" as back up. I've gone up to random guys and asked them to help me out!

Isnt it ANNOYING?? Like if a guy honks at you when you're alking down the street....what do they expect us to do?? Say "Oh my god, someone wants me" and start running down the street after them telling them to stop?

UGH.

who the hell was he there with anyway?

and why are the most annoying ones always the little confident leaches?

once I did have a very attractive and put-together stalker - he brought flowers to my work and asked me out a few times - but the fact that it was the same behavior as the annoying runts - I didn't accept his offer for a date. It scared and confused me...

I think I would have complained to the management at the first spot you went to. I would have been very uncomfortable. Glad the guy took the hint.

Princess...I totally agree with the honking thing, lol. I've thought that many times myself.

The kid showed up by himself, telling us how he's recently divorced and now living with his parents while he goes to air conditioning school...blah blah blah.

My friend Jeff IS a hottie but he's way too much like my brother for there to ever be anything there.

Oh no. I hate when leeches like that ruin your evening. My friends and I get them when we go out dancing so we close the circle on them. We usually get called lots of classy names and I'm not sure if that's supposed to make us turn around and say, "Oh yes, now I would love to have you grind on me! Do proceed."

Hi Linny! It sounds like your "friend" from high school never outgrew high school.

Sorry you had to go through that. A friend of mine had that happen and she decided a good offense was the best defense. She told the guy that dancing got her really really hot and wild...then she drove (and had him follow her) to the local gay dance club. She took him inside, danced one dance and then proceeded to lose him in the crowd and drove home. She has no idea how long he looked for her after she ditched him.

Oy! I know what you're talking about. I just don't get it. Usually it is some guy who really shouldn't think so much of himself either.

You know, the hot ones don't give people the time of day, the geeks grow balls and become stalkers. What's up with that?

I don't have a clue how I found your blog, but I have enjoyed your reunion, your search for the ideal (or semi-ideal) male and all the rest. You remind me of the reason I blanch when people say thing like "Don't you wish you were in High School again?" and things like that. Believe me my life (real life) didn't begin till long after high school. Perk up. The fiftieth is kinda fun even if you don't do anything but pay a few bucks for the brag book then go over the then and now pictures. I have no solutions to the mating thing either. I have three sons and a daughter well into their mid thirties and forties who are still "shopping".

I'll tell you what not to try--telling him that you're a lesbian. My roommate and I made that mistake, and without the Gift of Foresight at the time, this only encouraged the persistance...

I've had that happen to me, but it seems like when one comes they all come at the same time and then nothing. It's like there was a loser pharamone on me that wouldn't wash off.

Don't you hate people who lack social graces? Well ok, don't hate...more like pity. I mean, how psycho-desperate does a person have to be to not get a clue? Did he just think he'd wear ya down eventually? Has this worked in the past??
Ugh. I feel for you.

Wait a minute...are you telling me that "no" actually does mean "NO"? Well, shit. That makes so much more sense.
