shadowplay Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I recently started a desk job at my school library, and I can't stand when customers try to hit on or flirt with me while I'm working. Has anyone else had this problem and how do you discourage it? I don't want to flirt while I'm working. I just want to do my work and be left alone, but I also don't want to come off as rude. It makes me flustered when a guy tries to flirt with me and I end up losing focus and messing things up. Any suggestions?
CandyGirlXO Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Yeah I have this problem too but I take it as a compliment even though I am not interested. I had a coworker wear a ring on her wedding finger and it was to stop guys from hitting on her. So try that.
Author shadowplay Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 Yeah I have this problem too but I take it as a compliment even though I am not interested. I had a coworker wear a ring on her wedding finger and it was to stop guys from hitting on her. So try that. I was thinking about that but I'd feel kind of weird wearing a wedding ring as a college student. That might invite a whole new host of questions. Maybe I'll give it a shot, though...
Green Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I hit on a waitress the other day I was suprised I got her number its yet to be seen if I'll get a date out of it but if I was a betting man I'd say yes. I always hit on the girls at work its right there to be hit on. Plus your hot when you stop being hot guys won't notice you anymore they'll want to punch you in the face... instead of the butt
porter218 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I used to use the wedding ring trick before I got married and it worked a little. But the most effective thing that I have found is my expression on my face. When a man would come near me I would make sure to have a completely disinterested look on my face to the point where they would feel like I really just wanted them to get away from me..like they were bothering me. I wouldn't come off as rude just simply not interested.

First off I never even notice or look for the wedding ring before engaging secondly the scowl is no match for my testosterone driven hornyness
Lucky_One Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Good gosh, you were just complaining that you were lonely and have nothing to do. Why not flirt back? You can do your job and chat at the same time in a friendly manner. If it results in the exchange of phone numbers, great. If not, you get a little skip in your step bc someone thought you were pretty.

But one man hitting on me per day is better then 15.

I'm sure its a very complicated dificult job that requires constant attention. But seriously she is her own worst enemy its the way she percieves things.
Jersey Shortie Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Plus your hot when you stop being hot guys won't notice you anymore they'll want to punch you in the face... instead of the butt Wow.
rod_in_gtown Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I get hit on ALL the time at work!! It's just the burden I have to bear for being this pretty
johan Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I'm sure if it was a guy you were interested in you wouldn't complain.
westernxer Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I'm sure if it was a guy you were interested in you wouldn't complain. Bingo! Isn't this the norm?
Star Gazer Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I'm sure if it was a guy you were interested in you wouldn't complain. Agreed.
Gold Pile Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Halfway attractive females get hit on at work (especially public work) all the time. It is a fact of life and you'll be happier when you understand it's not fair but that's just the way it is. Guys who hit on a woman that is clearly busy are rude dudes and deserve a cruel rejection. "Sorry I don't date OLDER men".....short men,.....etc
johan Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I should say though, I once had a guy hit on me at work. It was damn annoying.
westernxer Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I should say though, I once had a guy hit on me at work. It was damn annoying. Come to Los Angeles... anything's fair game. LOL
johan Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 A woman should have designator of some sort, that would let each guy know whether she would like to be flirted with by him at the moment. A light signal or a sign or something like that.

A light signal or a sign or something like that. I agree, they should come with conveniently located LED indicators located on their nipple areas. Green means go!
johan Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I agree, they should come with conveniently located LED indicators located on their nipple areas. Green means go! They would probably screw up and put them up around their eyes somewhere, where we never look.
jerbear Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I had a coworker wear a ring on her wedding finger and it was to stop guys from hitting on her. So try that. Till a guy she is interested in avoids her and she'll wonder why he is not talking to her.

Eh, it's a college campus...those are the best years of your life....large dating pool.....please enjoy the attention while you can. AFter graduation, your dating pool goes down significantly. And it's a desk job at the library, what's the big deal?
rod_in_gtown Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 They would probably screw up and put them up around their eyes somewhere, where we never look. They have EYES?!?! :lmao:
Bells Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Also, this girl might be one of those people who complain about the attention she gets, but really likes the attention So it is, in fact, probably not even annoying to her....she probably loves the attention.

AFter graduation, your dating pool goes down significantly. And it's a desk job at the library, what's the big deal? That's what I'm saying. Much scarier working at a public library in the real world, where one comes in contact with all sorts of weirdos.
