I am an evil person. Kel and I just got back from the Beach Comber where I gave out a false phone number to 2 men who kept hounding me. One of them was very nice. Bought me and Kel drinks and kept saying over and over how beautiful he thought I am. (He was drunk) Apparently I am "Hotter than fuck" whatever that means. I was feeling very sympathetic to him when Kel got bored and said she wanted to leave. That's when he asked for my number. I sort of panicked.

I gave my number, but I reversed 2 of the digits on purpose so that if i ever saw him again I could say "Oh I'm so sorry; I am so dyslexic!" Right as I was about to give that number though, another guy bumped into me and said "Whoa! Who are you?" I introduced myself and when he asked what I was doing I said "I'm about to give this guy my number and then leave." He said "Well, I want your number too." I tried to get out of it by joking that I didn't even know hihm and he said, "But I want to know you!" So I said, "I tell you what, if you can overhear my number when I tell him, it's yours." Suprisingly he did and repeated it to me. The he asked if i would go out with him when he calls.
What is a woman supposed to do in situations like this???? I feel like a jerk. Maybe I should have lied and said I have a boyfriend. I admit, I love to flirt, but I have lost the art of letting people know I'm just being polite and I don't want an invitation to saunter back to their bed. Most of these guys are drunk anyway, but I fear they'll remember if I'm too rude....

Advice anyone?? What's the best way to let a guy know I'm not interested beyond the present conversation?

How about the truth? Tell him you were glad to have made his acquaintance and that you enjoyed the conversation(howver brief). When he asks for your number just let him know that you don't feel comfortable giving your number to someone you just met. If you do thhis correctly you can both appeal to his sense of chivalry and allow him to save face;
By telling him in a way that conveys concern for your own safety (not from just him but from any casual acquaintance with whom you've had limited interaction) he can hardly fault you or feel offended.

Hope this helps smile

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah it's Jordan, I don't care that you posted it. No worries. But yeah I'd like to meet up for a drink sometime. At least I could keep the creepy guys at bay for a few minutes.
