Really? I never saw you as a "Can't say no" person. I always felt you had a strong will. Just tell those guys you're not interested, and to move on with their lives. If they still persist... hit them with a baseball bat >8D

And if they are still bothering you when I am in Japan next time, I will crush them >83

But seriously, just tell them you're not interested in a date or relationship at this time.

[meemi_nekota]

Of course I can say No to a relationship but I find it difficult to refuse spending a few hours with someone who "just wants to chat over lunch" with me. But I won't go to any of that from now on. It's exhausting and stupid, I know. Haha, hit them with a baseball bat 8)

[mightyomnivore]

But like... we'll still chat over lunch someday again, right? D:

[meemi_nekota]

Ok maybe someday :P

[amakarie]

There's nothing more unattractive than a guy who won't take no for an answer. D8

[meemi_nekota]

True! 8( They need to take a hint...
Nice icon btwm kenshin? :)

[amakarie]

I'm still trying to figure out why only men past their forties and stalker types want to date me.

Yes, it's from a doujinshi I think. :)

[meemi_nekota]

Be really careful with those scary stalker types! X_X *hands you a baseball bat*

Ah, I miss reading Kenshin and Gundam W doujinshi ><

[meemi_nekota]

I don't remember telling you about it but
yes there were a few I was running away from X_X

[meemi_nekota]

I'm terrible at being direct...that's a big problem I have.
There were some I liked, but I guess I'm not interested in relationship itself.
I'm very self-centered and immature :P

[crackerman]

There's nothing wrong with turning someone down. But there are right ways and wrong ways to do it. You should be direct without being mean. I wouldn't string your co-worker along, but if you're direct and he still dowsn't get the point, then politeness can be put aside.

[meemi_nekota]

Yes, being direct is what I need to get used to (U_U)
I can't just keep giving hints and run away... Thanks for the advise :)

[kaye_shisou]

In my experience, the average male humanoid wouldn't recognise a hint if it smacked them in the face.
So, this way subtlety doesn't spare any feelings and only causes you frustration.

Therefore, I suggest...

1. Saying No;
2. Saying No whilst baring your teeth;
3. Saying No whilst baring your teeth and growling menacingly;

...and, if the sucker still doesn't get it, followed by...

4. taking a phallic food (such as cucumber or carrot) and snapping it in two
    whilst looking the yatsu straight in the face with a glare that promises infertility.

Heh heh. >X)

[meemi_nekota]

Hehehe Yatsu! XD And cucumber! X)

Oh I wish they would actually ask me directly so I can be as direct as you suggested. It's frustrtaing when they just give obvious hint that I am to be committed, I guess I should verbally make things clear for them...with cucumber >:(

[kaye_shisou]

Yes, I stand by this method. X3 Last resort when dealing with the TRUE yatsu.

Though I know what you mean... there have been a handful of male humanoids that used the 'meaningful looks', the 'overly generous compliments' and general 'miscellaneous hintage' on me.
In most of those cases I told them (in my very own awkward apologetic way -_-;) that I did not feel the same way about them and could never meet with the expectations they had of intimacy with me. Stoopid thing is they were all friends and people I hung out with (and yes, I continued to do so).
I could not bring myself to snapping cucumbers until a couple of them went a bridge too far. ¬_¬;

*coughs* Nevermind my blabbing... ^^;;
Maybe I could come snap cucumbers for you when I am in Tokyo~! :D

[meemi_nekota]

...Or maybe other phallic food like hotdog. Gnawning on it and baring my teeth and growl "NO" XD

As for me once male friends turn into pestering leeches, I stop hanging out with them -_-
I can't think of any better ways of not facing them because I'm horrible at being verbally direct. X(
