7 Ways To Deal With Men Who Won’t Take ‘NO’ For An Answer

 

Sometimes, for whatever reason, people aren’t on your page. They’re not picking up what you’re putting down. They’re not catching your drift.

You’ve already said no—to taking on more work when you’re already drowning in it; to co-hosting an over-the-top bachelorette party you can’t afford; to having out-of-town guests crash on your futon for the fourth weekend in a row.

But these people don’t seem to be listening. You need to reiterate your “no,” but maybe saying that word (directly to your boss, for example) isn’t a possibility.

Fear not! There are other ways to say “no” without actually saying it. Some are silly, some are more serious, but all should serve as a reminder to yourself; you have every right to say “no.”

The reason people refuse to accept No for an answer, is because that want you to change your No into Maybe, and finally a Yes.

The problem is, your initial/right/true/intuitive response was No, and they failed to respect it. The problem lies with them, not with you.

Those who know no boundaries, no honor, no respect are really good at letting a No fly over their head, and continue to insist to get their way. Psychos are especially skilled at that. Just ask any victim of violence.

And that’s why it’s not your responsibility nor obligation to deal with such people.

There are a lot of respectful people in the world who’d enjoy your company and be honored by your presence.

Let go of those who want you to discount and discredit your own opinion, in favor of giving them what they want. Yes?

Here's one question many women may have had to ask themselves at some point of their lives, because there's always going to be that one guy who comes along with the belief that if he tries hard enough, it's only a matter of time before you cave in to his demands for a relationship.

And you really can't place absolute blame on such guys because truly, there are women who believe in being pursued for long and wooed repeatedly before saying yes.

So it kinda becomes a little difficult for men to know when women are really being serious with the 'no' they say or if they're using it as a code word for 'chase me harder' and 'woo me better.'

Regardless, however, there should still be a point during the chase when a guy gets the memo that a woman is indeed not interested.

Here Are 7 Ways To Deal With Men Who Won’t Take ‘no’ For An Answer

Explain that you are not interested.

With everyone everywhere on a smart phone, tablet, or laptop, technology is fast becoming one of the primary ways humans communicate.

Social media networks, online forums, and dating websites and chat-rooms are common stomping grounds for creeps who won't take no for an answer.

Ignore him

If he’s still trying, the silent treatment is the best way of dealing with guys who won’t take no for an answer. Turn your back to him and pretend he’s not even there.

If he’s harassing you with texts or messages on social media, never respond. Don’t even read them, delete them right away, and do not take his calls.

Lie

Once he stepped over common sense and kept trying despite your rejection, it’s OK to lie.

Tell him you’ve started dating someone else, tell him you’re a lesbian, tell him you only date guys who are [insert his exact opposite here].

Crazy, Messy Drama Queen

The majority of men do not want to get sucked into drama. Even if you are the most organized, drama-free, chill girl out there, make him believe otherwise.

Unless he is a sugar daddy, he probably doesn’t want to take on a damsel in distress.

Example: “Sorry I haven’t responded right away. I've been dealing with my best friend’s ex-boyfriend’s baby mama.

This b*tch hasn’t paid me for some clothes I sold her. I really need the money for all my past due bills so I don’t get transferred to collections.

Then I couldn't find my keys because my room is a mess. I can’t even handle life right now. I need tequila.”

Block contact.

If you have clearly and firmly asked the person to stop contacting you, and he continues anyway, the next step is to block this person from your social media profiles or chat-rooms.

Removing this guy as a friend or follower should prevent him from being able to contact you any further.

Fake Boyfriend

This may be the oldest trick in the book. He should back off when he finds out you have a boyfriend or are “talking” to someone else.

Talk about your ex

Another way of dealing with guys who won’t take no for an answer is to make them feel like they’re getting themselves into something that’s not that great. Start talking about your ex, and about everything you used to do together.
