What do you say when men hit on you? I'm pretty shy, and even though I'm not flattered by gross men flirting with me, I think it comes across that way because I laugh nervously. So how can I send the message that they must stop it immediately?

I would sigh, give a very annoyed look, and refuse to answer them (unless you have to say something related to your job).

If they compliment you and leave it at that, just smile and say "Thank you."

If they keep at it and start openly hitting on you, either let them down easy ("I have a boyfriend" usually works), or if they seem like a prick, tell them "I have gonorrhea."

I have a boyfriend has never worked for me. Sometimes they even claim they could treat me better. And I don't want a rumor of me having an STD spreading around town thanks.

"I feel like you're hitting on me, could ya stop? Thanks."

Say it in a flat, business like voice.

And for old guys who hit on you "You look so young"

You say "yes". "So how old are you" you say "I'm not discussing that".

A flat "thanks". With no other response.

Where are you working? Saying "I need to get back to work" and then going off and doing something else might be useful

Don't respond to the flirting. you aren't obligated to tell a customer your age or any other personal information. If a man says that you look young, say thank you or even just OK if you prefer, and ask if he has a loyalty card or whatever your script from corperate requires.

You aren't over reacting, it is annoying, but don't feed the real life trolls.

Well, if you have a boyfriend, you can practice the resting bitch face and just casually say "oh, thanks, my boyfriend thinks I'm gorgeous too".

Just say "Thank you" and that's it.

It's a professional, universal, and civilised response to a compliment. Don't make it any more awkward than it already is.

I just roll my eyes and walk away.

I’ll start hooking up with someone with no intention of dating them because of red flags, but if the sex is good I want to lock it down for the future (even if we are not compatible in our personality, I’ll start to see them in a positive way and flirt more since it makes the sex even better)! The guy starts to think I want a relationship (which is half true) and then distances himself. Anyone else go through this cycle?

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
