I will never ever walk home again without wearing my headphones.
Every single time I make the hasty decision to just not listen to music on the way home because I'm already halfway there...
Dwight happens.
Let me introduce you to him. Dwight is playa' with psychic abilities. You see, he not only also flirts with my room mate, he also knows the days when I will walk home without music and he will be home, so he makes a point of standing out in his garage with a beer in hand and a friend by his side.
Enter me- walking to my place, around the corner, visible from his place.
Every single time this is the beginning of the conversation; "Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?"
Now I don't like to be mean, and I don't like to be rude. So I will nicely stop and stand at the very end of his driveway. In my mind, this is a clear indicator that I don't want to be a bitch, but I am uncomfortable talking to him. This is where Dwights psychic abilities end, and normal human perception, fails to begin.
He will then ask me my name. I will tell him (he always forgets) and he will tell me it's his cousin's name- a pretty name. He will then proceed to try and flirt with me, and I will try to be polite. He will tell me I'm pretty, and I will graciously accept the compliment whilst stepping back onto the side walk. He will then tell me he can tell I like him, that he likes my "shape". He will then ask me for my phone number, which I do not want to give him.
Normally I tell him I am taken- which I am am- which he can't seem to remember. Today I told him I was engaged. He told me that if I gave him my phone number, he would keep it a secret between the two of us. I still politely indicated that I would not be comfortable in giving him my number, then made an excuse about work.
I honestly do not know what to do from here. He is a really big, scary guy. I am afraid the direct approach could have him at my doorstep (around the corner from his place) rather quickly, which obviously I do not want.
Help me out? What do I do?

Otherwise, find another way to walk home, that avoids his place.
