When they plant themselves
| Sun, 08-19-2007 - 2:15am |
What are you suppose to do when you are out, festival, party, wedding, bar,... whatever, and a guy that you are NOT interested in decides to plant himself with you for the rest of the night? You dance with him ONE time and he follows you to your table, and stays for the entire time that you're there!!!
You can't get him to leave your table, next-door chair, ect.?? And moving tables doesn't work!!! Then the one you WANT to meet can't come up to you because of "planting guy".

"Hey, sorry to cut this short but I'm going to go find some of my friends to hang out with. It was nice to meet you though."
Just be direct.
But..... what if I'm just there with one girlfriend? I have nowhere to go! I'm stuck.
Do I just ignore him? (which I've tired the "turn-away" thing) Or do I just say, "Hey, it was nice dancing with you (once) and Thanks for the drink, but,,,, uh,,,, go away!"
Geez, what do I do? And not be rude! Don't you think that the guy would be rude doing that? I would NEVER plant myself at a guys table if he asked me to dance, or bought me a drink. Oh wait...... I'd be labeled as the psycho! ha ha ha
I've said before, (years!!!! ago!!!) "Look, I didn't ask you to plant yourself next to me, okay?" How direct can I be and not hurt their feelings? And they still never leave.
This happened to me 2 Thursday's ago, and I just didn't know what to do so I went home.
'But..... what if I'm just there with one girlfriend? '
Go to the bathroom with or without her. I don't understand. What was your girlfriend doing at the time? You can still excuse yourself for whatever reason and come back inside later. And don't let him buy you a drink.
After the first dance walk away to another side of the bar from where you were seated or pull out your cell phone like you are receiving a call and go outside.
