OK, so we've had a 'hwo do you pick up [women]' thread so let's have a 'how do you turn people down' thread.
Last night I was in H20 (the gay club) with 3 other people from the LGB, 2 girls (1 gay, 1 straight) and a guy, Matt (a nice enough guy, but not really my type).
We'd been drinking for a while when this bald man, late 30s, started talking to Kate (the straight girl), who began to look uncomfortable. I presumed he was coming on to her (hey, straight and bi people go to gay bars too). About 5 minutes later he started talking to me, asking me questions about my life, then saying 'you're really cute' and 'you're really gorgeous'.
Then he asked me if we wanted to go back to his for a drink. I made my excuses and told him probably not, as we were fine here and he left. Kate told me he'd been asking her if I was single, etc.
The bald guy came back twice more doing the same thing, to the point that one of the girls and I had agreed to magically find love should he come on too strongly (as you do
)
Then the creepy manager bloke (who always leers at me and makes crude comments) came over, and I just stared at the ground and went red when he did as usual. He left after a short while. Then, when getting drinks at the bar again, the bald guy came over to me and asked if I had a chance. I was fairly drunk but didn't want to hurt his feelings, so just said I wanted to go out with someone from the uni as they'd be nearby. He told me he lives next to the uni. So I garbled something about wanting someone with similar life experiences, being in my age range (hey, I was trying not to trip over my own feet
)
Then, when I went and sat back down with the people from the lgb, Matt put his hand on my leg, so I just ignored it.
So all in all I had to turn three people down, all of whom I wasn't interested in. Yet all the guys I like are unavailable. God's shown once again his sense of humour, which I'm sure must be funny if you aren't me
So how do you turn people down?
