If you have a very persistent suitor whom you've turned down several times since your early adolescence and yet won't give up on you, what is the best thing to do in order to get rid of him?

I'll tell him in a friendly way that I have already my boyfriend.I'll say....you're one of the best people in this world that's why I like you as a friend. You're so nice but I have already chosen someone special in my heart.

hi gatlopena, I have a very persistent suitor also. He is courting me since I was in college and up to now that I am working, he still insist himself. I already told him that I am not interested with his offer of love and I have my boyfriend already but he doesn't care. I ignored him so many times but it doesn't take an effect. I guess there are just man like that. And honestly, sometimes I am a bit afraid of him because he seems to be like a stalker. Anyway, I do my best to avoid him and if he will still get closer to me I guess I will call a police for help. I admitted that although I think I do all the best to get rid of him, I still cannot make him go away, so I think I must be the one to make the best to make myself far from him.

If that picture is your goodself I don't blame that suitor for being so persistent in courting you. You are too pretty to resist!!!! I would say that he is being very bold and courageous. That's what I would consider truly a MAN. There is a saying: "Faint heart never win fair ladies!" I used to be like that when I was young and finally I won her heart. Now she is my wife! We are living happily ever after with two fine boys. The wonderful thing about my 2 sons is that they don't need to court girls. It's the other way round - it is the girls who go after them. Now my elder son is happily married and the younger one is settling down very soon. The best solution for you is to get married and that romeo will leave you in peace and move on to harrass another pretty girl.

If I am in this situation then I will talk to him frankly. If ever that he won't give up on me, I will do something that he would be discourage on me or action that he could jealous to the person that who always in my side.

I'm not a frank type person. I prefer to keep quite than to tell what i feel. But in this situation, the only thing i could do is to tell him frankly that he always ruin my day whenever he's with me. Maybe it would hurt him, but its just good for him.

I'll tell him frankly but not in a harsh way that he is just wasting his time courting me because i'll just keep on ignoring him. I'll tell him that there are lots of fishes in the sea and he deserves someone else.

We can get rid of our persistent suitor if we tell them directly what we truly feels towards them. If we don`t love them, then, we should let them know so that they will get rid from us. However, while saying those words to them, we should be calm and be friendly so that they will better understand.

in order to get rid of him, you just do nothing, because he will get tired.

if ever i will have that kind of suitor, i will tell him that i am not ready to have a relationship because i am focusing in my studies and i want to have a stable job before entering that kind of relationship so he's better to look to another girl.

If i were in this case, I would go straight to the point. I'll tell him frankly that he is truly not my type and that I am focusing myself in studies, family and friends and that I'm not open to any mutual relationships and Done!

They say the truth hurts, but what you don't say and keep to yourself hurts more. I believe that you should just be straightforward and tell the guy the truth. Just be gentle with how you break it to him. Not telling him "no" and not telling him your reasons might be unfair to him as well, your unclear responses just might lead him and even might motivate him to persist more. I believe you should just be clear, and frank on how you feel about him and the situation. That way, even though it will hurt him, he will know that it is just about time to get over you because all his efforts are in vain. Telling the truth might hurt, but not telling what you actually feel inside you hurts the more, hurts you and the other person involve. Just tell him, he shall soon get over it.

If i have a persistent suitor and i think he won't give up on me,i think i should tell him that im not ready to enter any relationship and beside that my first priority now is my study. If he wont stop me at this time, i will avoid to see him.

stubbornness is indeed very annoying. if that happens to me in reality, that only proves that i have the flaming charm. well i don't think he will persist to be stubborn if i get married. but marriage is not an answer. if his being persistent then i will double my persistence of turning him down!

i wont waste my time minding his frustrations towards me. that's a big DAH! he cant force me to like or love him. why bother myself to a person that is stubborn. if he truly love me then his happy of what makes me happy.

I think your persistent suitor have to meet other beautiful lady. Try to introduce to him w/c you know it's irresistible appeal.
