How do you get a persistent suitor to see that you're not interested?

LOl Very easy. Just become a beach.lol he ll get frustated and leave. But then again you will be breaking someones heart. Put yourself in the position,not good eh?

I agree with you. Hurting the guy's feelings is really inevitable. The best course of action would be to talk to the guy in a serious way. No, wait, don't talk. Tell. Tell your friend to tell the guy that she's seriously not interested. don't add any praises for the guy, it'll just fuel his thought that she's just playing hard to get. it's enough to tell him that she appreciates the fact that someone likes her, but she just isn't interested. not interested at all, and that she'd rather that they have a harmonious and very professianal relationship.

Some people won't date within the workplace as it can be bad when mixing business and Pleasure and things go wrong...it can get to the stage one of them has to leave. Obviously this guy doesn't feel that way. Flirtation does occur at work,though.As you say She's frustrated with his attention,Can't he take a hint? If She won't arrange to meet him after work,go for lunch with Him,give him her cellphone Number,engage him in conversation,or spend time around him,his chances of interacting with Her are dropping fast..Eye contact is important in what might develop into a relationship..Have Her "Blank" him,and avoid his personal space like He has BO,or something! that's the subtle approach..Avoid someone enough,they'll eventually catch on there's nothing coming back to them.Does He know Her outside of Work? Can't She make excuses to get out of offers he might make? (And don't say "Another time..")giving him hope,even false hope,is off the table.

Your friend better change her attitudes toward that guy, maybe she been making the guy feel home around her, this time let it show all over that she is NOT INTERESTED with that guy. Don't use abusive language because guys can be dangerous. You never can tell. Just be cold towards him, show no interest whatever that concerns him and make him see himself the way he is ( as unwanted guest in your life). This time around show no pity to him. Just tell him the truth. I don't like you if you try to be fake in him because you don't want to hurt him, you will end up in more damaged in your continuation. Just suggest this opinion to your friend. Hope it can help her to so that the guy courted her will not expect love in return for her. She need to be honest in what she really felt.

Perhaps she can apply what I pick up from one of those movies, not sure what title but the only way the actress able to dissuade her suitor was to get her cousin posing as her boyfriend. Hopefully that will work, if that doesn't work and that she is really bothered by this guy, she may consider moving somewhere far away. I know that's very inconvenient for your girlfriend but that's all I can think of at the moment. Good luck

Write him a letter.If he will not listen maybe he will read. Tell him how she feels about him.
