unicornq Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hi, could u kindly give me advice? A guy in my class always tries to engage me in conversation and asks personal questions. I don't want to let him know the answers but want to be polite. Could u tell me how to respond to questions like: What's your mobile number? Do you have a boyfriend? You help will be much appreciated~~ Thanks a lot! Link to comment
Serendipity1607307077 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 What's your mobile number? "How about you give me yours and I'll call you if I want to" Do you have a boyfriend? Who wants to know? Of course say it in a nice way! EDIT! Forgot to mention: It depends on whether you like him or not as well.. if you don't, just either tell him straight out you would rather be friends, you are not ready for any relationships yet, or just say you are with someone...

DiscipleOfChange Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I like serendipity's comments. Although, as a guy, I'd rather hear something like "I don't like to give my mobile number out (and insert some reason here.) Unless of course you really do plan on calling him, don't say you might.

acuraman Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Tell him that you are flattered, but you are with someone. That should get him to leave you alone. If a girl told me that, I would definitely back off. Good luck. Link to comment
Sexychiick16 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 whats thi sguy like...stalker status or what... i say KNEE HIM WHERE IT HURTS>.....if he still doesnt get the hint hes a dummy Link to comment
unicornq Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 Thanks guys and girls for the suggestions. The situation is a bit complicated actually. I cannot lie to this guy about being with someone because I really like another person in the same class. If I tell this guy I have boyfriend, I fear he'll spread the word so I have no chance with the other person... Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 What's your mobile number? I only use it for emergencies, and not to chat. Do you have a boyfriend? I don't like to talk about my personal life in class. Maybe that will work.... BellaDonna Link to comment
babycristy456 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Its okay to turn someone down. Just tell him that you just want to stay friends. Because he will probably keep getting the wrong idea. About the number thing, tell him its not working for now and give him an email instead. Like that he does not bug you. About the boyfriend thing, just tell him the truth. Its not a big deal that you are single. It does not mean you are going to go out with him either Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 give him an email instead I don't think she wants anything to do with him, so why give him the e-mail at all? To pacify him? BellaDonna Link to comment
Day_Walker Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I think you should be honest with the guy and tell him u dont want to give him your mobile number or that you dont know him well enough to give it to him. As far as the boyfriend question if you dont have a bf and he still acts interested then tell him that you arent interested in him. Link to comment
wlfpack81 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Just tell him you're not interested in him period and end it. Don't freaking BS him and leave him hanging. He's going to hurt anyways after you reject him so mine as well tell him the truth and get it over w/soon. Link to comment
dancingmsg Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 yeah, agree with most of these posts. just tell him that you are not interested and don't want to lead him on. Period. It will hurt at first but better than later. Link to comment
darkblue Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Well, let's not be harsh. For all we know, he could really be interested and shy - suggestions like "Just tell him to go away", will hurt him. If he comes off strongly - put him straight; equally strongly. But if he is being polite and courteous - turn him down, politely and with tact. Link to comment
unicornq Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 Thanks guys and gals for your advice. Well, that guy is not rude and sometimes quite caring. And I appreciate the way he thinks. I want to keep this friend, so I wouldn't try to hurt him. I wish I could be more tactful in handling these questions in order not to lose this friend. Link to comment
Sexychiick16 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 lol tell him your not drunk enough to get with him, sorry ...in a really jokingly wayy and just give him a wink!! he'll get the idea this works...but it may not keep him from wanting you lol Link to comment
jordan_2 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I kind of agree the most with darkblue's scenarios... personally, I think you should be direct and honest with the guy, if you're feeling uneasy about the fact the guy is invading your personal life, tell him (even if you do come off as a bit of a b*tch) upfront that you don't feel comfortable giving out personal information about yourself, what's he going to say "ohh that girl, she's such a no-information-giver" (sorry that sounds stupid) but yeah, hoenstly...after he gets the hint, then slowly bring him up and rebuild the friendship so at least he knows the terms now, and you can start anew.
