Strawberry Letter: Turning Them Down Nicely
Dear Steve and Shirley,
My question is simple. I just want to know how do you reject a man’s advances without making him angry at you? My past experience has been that whenever I reject a man’s advances, he becomes angry. If it is a co-worker I have to deal with him being short or not speaking and there is not friendship left.
Lately a co-worker has been pursuing me. He’s a nice guy and I enjoy talking to him but I am not interested in anything more. I am recently divorced and still trying to work out my own emotions. Even when I do become straight, this man does not have a chance. However, he’s always asking for my number. How do I get him to understand that he does not have a chance in a way that doesn’t demean, belittle, or hurt his feelings? Is it possible to continue to be job buddies and that’s it?
By the way, I absolutely love your advice. Your book and your advice has helped me tremendously with my relationships with men. This is coming from a girl with no brothers and a father who did not discuss such things with her.
Thanks very much,
Kim from the 313
