For those nights when you and your girls are just trying to have fun, but then “that guy” interrupts.
We’ve all met this guy. You’re thinking of him right now. Yeah, that’s him. The guy that follows you and your friends around all night. The one that is always alone. Like seriously, where are your friends? He’s the one that comes to the bar all alone. We don’t like this guy. No one likes this guy. He repeatedly hits on each and every one of you and your friends until one gives in or the bar closes. And let’s face it, no one ever gives in. Since this guy is always there and we always want to get away, here are some tips on how to get rid of “that guy”.
1.Ignore him
I know it sounds simple, but it works. He offers you a drink; what’s the harm? Oh, well now he thinks that means he deserves some type of reward. Don’t let it go too far. Thank him; tell him to enjoy the night, then run to the nearest escape. You do not owe him anything more.
2.Tell him your taken
If ignoring him doesn’t do the trick, this should. Even if you don’t have a boyfriend, say it. He doesn’t know your lying. Most likely when you say this, he will be hitting on the girl next to you before you can even finish that sentence.
3.Signal your friends
Believe it or not, some girls do this. Let’s say a guy approaches your friend at the bar. He buys her a drink, but then she’s not interested. She says she’s taken, but he sticks around. This is when you step in. Your friend should signal to you, and this is when you step in grabbing her away from said guy without any explanation. You and your friends should develop a signal. Most signals are the look of complete disgust by the presence of "that guy". This works like a charm.
4.Run
He’s relentless. All your tricks have failed you. He’s blocked any other potential cuties you may have had your eye on for the night. Your friends are running around the bar without you and now he’s asking for your number. This is when you RUN. Give him a fake number if you have to. The rejection hotline will definitely get the point across. It doesn’t matter at this point. You need to get away as fast as possible. There is also no shame in faking sick at a time like this.
So next time you run into "that guy" at the bar, remember these tips and you'll be on your way to freedom.
