 "You Never See it Coming but it's Not our Fault"
Ive got another smiles story for all of you. Gather round kids! Now boys, pay special attention. Im hoping your mommies raised you better than this.

A couple weeks ago I was out with some friends. We were having a good time and I left the group for a moment for some reason. As I was "alone" this guys approached me. He smiled and introduced himself so I returned the favour. He started up a conversation and I was polite but made sure I did not seem too eager. Be sure of this, I was not interested in this guy. Nothing against him, I'm sure he was a nice guy but I knew where the conversation was going and I didn't want to let it go that far. There was a pause in the conversation and I took it as an oppurtunity to do the whole "nice talking to you" and depart. As I turned around he called after me. I hesitated but did not want to be rude to him as he had not given me any reason to treat him badly. I turned around and of course he hit me with it.

"Can I get your number?"

I silently groaned in my head but kept a cool and collected demeanor. I hate giving out my number to complete strangers. I really try to avoid it and the fact that I wasn't even interested in him did not make this any easier. Ive always felt so bad by saying no so I usually try to beat around the bush. My guy friends have repeatedly told me that it is better to not lead a guy on and just say no if you are not interested but I still have this unlogical sense of guilt. I avoided it completely and made some excuse about a friend calling me. He then started to get extremely forward. Now there is a difference between being forward and being confident. I didn't get the sense that he was particularly dangerous but I wasn't about to hand over my digits either. I shook my head and as I walked away I could hear him from behind me. He was basically boasting about himself and saying that I would not regret it. The whole situation was rather humorous and I just laughed it off.

Later that same day he approached me again but this time I was ready for it.

Guy: Hey did you think it over?
Me: Yes I did.
Guy: So what's your number?
Me: Why do you want it?
Guy: Why wouldn't I want it. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Me: Well I'm sorry but I can't
Guy: I can change your mind.
Me: No I don't think you can. I'm already taken (Lie #1)
Guy: Oh that's too bad. Guess we are gonna have to keep it on the down low.
Me: That's gonna be hard. See I'm already seeing a couple guys (Lie #2)
Guy: How many?
Me: 3 (Lie #3)
Guy: Can I be the 4th?

I definitely thought that at this point he would have moved on but no he caught me off guard. I didn't know what to say in response as I didn't plan this far so I decided I would just scare the crap outta him.

Me: Sorry?
Guy: Can I be the 4th?
Me: No my brother is already in line. (Im sure I don't need to clarify but, Lie #4)
Guy: Excuse me?
Me: My brother. We're sort of trying it out as an experiment.
Guy: ...ok thats...interesting. *Pulls out cellphone* Ive actually gotta meet someone so um maybe I'll see you around sometime. Nice talking to you.

So maybe all of this is my fault since I didn't just say no at the beginning but i have to admit it did turn out pretty funny in the end. However, I never want to be in that situation again as it was extremely awkward so i've learned my lesson. And to all you gentlemen at thoughts, I leave you with this lesson:
Learn to get the hint before the poor girl has to resort to incest.

What I hear:

Was this guy a car salesman? You should have just hit him, nobody should be this pushy. :)

"My brother" - Very nice thinking on your feet, Smile! I guess some girls really do like that kind of boastful, forward guy but I think it's just "Eww".

Yadokta: I agree. Haha i'll keep that in mind for the future.

Meredith: Im just happy he wasnt a complete nut. Imagine if he was ok with the brother thing. Thats disgusting. haha I agree with you, cocky guys are gross.

Nature: Haha yes he did. I was just trying to think of something ridiculous at that point and it worked :]

Lanabell: I didn't get that vibe from this guy, Im sure he was a decent guy, I just wasnt interested. But I agree, pushy guys are really a turnoff.

Wicked: :D Glad I could be of service. And yes, thats what I tell myself.

Next time hun, don't give out your # but ask for his. Tell him you'll call in a few days.. as long as the test result come back good and there's nothing to worry about. :) (yes, I have used that once)

Coma: You are officially my idol. That is legendary!!! Haha Gotta keep that in mind.

Eeerm: I didnt wanna be too harsh...but I have used that tactic many a time before.

That was hilarious! Well I'm married, but it doesn't always stop them...so when someone asks me out I always say "well, I'd really love to...but my husband doesn't let me date." Works like a charm.

I love coma's answer though too!

What if he had been turned on by the whole "brother" thing??? ewww...

SMILES! lol long time no read and talk! so this was a pretty great story, and yeah i get the whole not leading people on bit, but its so hard when you feel like your going to hurt someones feelings. your way, much much better.. haha :)

Xpress: Haha thanks. It was a "thinking on my feet" situation. I never really understood why he didnt just give me his number, maybe he knew I wouldnt call him :P

Princess Spot: Haha!! Thats great!! Yeah Comas got a solid reply there ;) and if he was turned on by the brother thing I would have just walked away and threatened to call the cops if he followed me lol

Pixie: I know!! Where you been girl?! Haha why thank you :]

YOUR BROTHER???? LMAO...I can't think that fast...Got anymore words of wisdom I could borrow next time some jerk overstays his welcome???

OMGosh you just made my day. That was too funny! I can see with it being your 4th lie you were running out of them. That should be in a movie! How to loose a guy in 10 days.... 10 lies to loose a guy. If that was the 4th I'd love to know what else you were left with. Just 6 more and I'm sure I'd have to pee my pants.

Dreampower: Haha yeah the brother thing works a charm. Otherwise use Coma's advice, that was brilliant as well :P

Daze: Haha well if you are ever writing a screenplay, feel free to use my unfortunate scenario. Glad it made your day :]

LOL..smiles, you're brilliant! That was really quick thinking! hehehe
