There are times in all of our lives when we have attracted the wrong person. You either are not interested in them at all or have finally been put-off by their flirting techniques. When this happens, many of us do not know what to do. Some end up enduring a whole evening of bad jokes and stale pick up lines until the night finally comes to a close.
When confronted with this situation, you can do a few things. The first thing you need to consider is, would you be interested in this person if the flirting was not so bad? If so, be polite and take over. Chances are this person might just be nervous and has gotten in over their head.
Once the person has calmed down, and they are fine, if you would not be interested at all, then you still should try to be polite. Remember, that this is a person with feelings. Just say, no thank you or some other excuse and they should leave.
If they persist then you have the right to be a bit more aggressive. Be direct and tell them you are not interested. They should get the hint at this point. If they continue to persist then you need to take them down a peg or two. You could ask if they have the professional’s guide to flirting. If they say no, tell them to get a copy and practice on someone else.
Finally, flirting is a great way to meet and get to know people. However, despite our best efforts, sometimes it can go wrong. Be direct and assertive and that unwanted attention should go away.
