Ladies, here's one we all can relate to.
The other day when I was out at lunch, a rather rough-looking fellow took it upon himself to sit down at the table across from me and "spit game." You know the type...the lame, toothless and/or gold-toothed, uncombed, unkempt, wanna-be gangsta type brotha who thinks all women are hoes and they all want to be holla'ed at by HIM.
So. This brotha welcomes himself to my lunch table, interrupting my meal and the book I was reading, to tell me how much of a **** he was and how attached I would become to him. :roll: Of course, in my being civil and respecting him as a human, I politely ignored him and waited for him to ask for my number so I could go ahead, give him the wrong one, and finish my lunch. Which I did. So my question for you all is, was I wrong for misleading him, allowing him to think that he could actually call that number and reach me, although I felt his approach was inappropriate? What's the alternative to being...well, dishonest?
You all know how these guys can get if you reject or even ignore their advances...some yell, curse, call names, and even go so far as to get physical, like grabbing and so forth. My policy up to this point is to be as nice as possible until I can get away, but maybe that's not good enough, since these guys still think that that kind of thing is effective. So what do you suggest? What have you done when you find yourself in this situation?
And guys, you're welcome to comment too, even though the guys I'm referring to aren't necessarily the "college-bound" type...

Well I've been in your same situation and usually I just tell them that I got a man. But lately its been getting out of hand, so now I just tell them that I'm not interested and I walk away. Simple as that.

Dude Perspective:
Don't lie about the number, don't lie about having a man. . . just give him a simple and sweet "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." In his case you should have reminded him that he was being rude by interrupting your lunch.
If he begs to know why you won't give him your number, simply say, "maybe another day or time, but right now I'm not feeling you."
A girl told me that before, and it was so shocking that I just walked away.
