Ignoring repeated rebuffs, a guy stops by your office to ask you
out, yet one more time, for "a brewski."
YOU SAY: "I'm sorry, I'm just not interested in dating anyone
right now. Thanks for asking, though."
WHY: When egos are involved, it's best to be firm and honest, but
kind. "No matter how creepy the guy is, you should never be
hurtful," says Honore Ervin, coauthor of Things You Need to Be
Told: A Handbook for Polite Behavior in a Tacky, Rude World!(Berkley).
