Eek.

Let's say that you're seventeen.

What's the best way to react when a really, really cute twenty-five(ish)-year-old guy who works at the local gas station is obviously hitting on you?

Glare at him and walk away?

*cough*

LMFAO, that's actually what I do in that sort of situation, but I suspect that's not the most appealing course of action for you...

[settiai]

He's a (seemingly) nice guy, so I don't want to hurt his feelings or anything... especially since he's almost always working the gas station when I stop to fill up my car.

*sigh*

But I don't want him to get the wrong idea or anything.

Well, if you aren't interested in him, then just be polite with him. Or friendly, if you want to be nice. But if he asks whether you want to get together, then say "no" firmly. Does he know you're only 17, or does he think you might be older?

[settiai]

He used to think that I was older than that, but I told him back in May or so that I was still just seventeen.

[shoorihoshi]

If he gets too blatant tell him politely that you're not interested. Or, if you don't feel comfortable doing that, drop a hint that you're seeing someone.

[settiai]

I'll try that. *smile* Thanks for the advice.

smile and say My Daddy carries a shotgun everywhere he goes, have a super day

*pause*

And I wouldn't even be lying if I said that...

[karenbear]

I take it you're not interested in said twenty-five(ish)-year-old guy? Then could you send him my way? *ahem* Sorry.

I wouldn't do anything really. Be nice, but if you're not interested just don't flirt back and hopefully he'll get the hint. If he doesn't and he gets insistant ('cause, you know, he's a guy), just be honest and say you're not interested.

Well, I'm not interested at the moment since A. I'm still technically a minor (with very overprotective parents) and B. I've been dating a nice guy for over a year and a half now (and, though we're starting to move apart, we haven't broken up yet.)

Ka-ching

There's your get-out-of-jail-free card. Casually mention how you're going to be hanging out with your boyfriend and he'll get the hint. Nothing dispells interest like those two words - "My boyfriend"

[rivalrose]

Oh wow.. well sinse I dated a 26 year old when I was 16 I would just say NO!
nothing but trouble!! *sigh*
