We’ve all experienced it. You’re out with your girlfriends, just trying to have a good time, when all of a sudden some guy gets all up in your personal space. You might be able to go with it if his cologne didn’t resemble tequila, or if he didn’t stand four inches shorter than you, but for whatever reason you just aren’t feeling it. Here are 6 great lines that will grant you your freedom so that you can enjoy your well-deserved night out — lines that are nice enough that they won’t completely destroy his ego.
“I have a boyfriend.”
I cannot tell you how many times I have used this line in attempt to scare off the guy determined to dance on me even after he’s spilled his drink all over my new shoes. Even if you’re flying solo, this excuse will send him on his way to find another poor soul to harass.
“I think I finally got rid of this flu! I haven’t yacked in like, 10 minutes.”
Need I explain? Any sensible guy isn’t going to pursue a make out sesh with flu-girl.
“Did you know that 1 in every 3 people has a sexually transmitted disease?”
Throw in a wink and you’re golden.
“Can I borrow $20?”
No guy likes a gold-digger. If this isn’t a turn off for him then he’s even more desperate than you initially thought. And, sweet! You just made 20 bucks.
“I LOVE YOU.”
His mind just went straight into panic mode. Chances are that if this guy is lady-hopping at a party, he’s as anti-commitment as it gets. If all goes according to plan he’ll move on to someone who isn’t looking for any attachment. Sure, you might seem a little crazy, but who cares what “Creepy Guy” thinks of you!
The Ol’ Fake Black Out
This is similar to Jenna Marbles’ advice (if you haven’t already seen “How To Avoid Talking To People You Don’t Want To Talk To” – watch it right now: http://youtu.be/8wRXa971Xw0). Literally just stand there – still as a rock, blank stare, no words. He should move on within a minute or two.
