How to Show Someone Who Flirts with You that You're Not Interested

Some of us from time to time may experience a situation that makes us feel uncomfortable with somebody. When we are involved in a relationship and are approached by a person that shows interest in us, it tends to feel a bit awkward. To show a person that the feeling is not mutual, here is a few things that you should try and give the other person a sign that it isn't going to happen.

If caught in a conversation with the person, share your troubles and fret. Interested people tend to be positive and happy. Negativity will repel any person who comes near.

Do not look the person in the eye. Be easily distracted by other things around you.

Think about where this person is likely to be and avoid that area completely if and when possible.

When you see the person turn your back on them, it may seem mean but eventually they will take the hint.

Tell them how great your partner is and how much you miss them.

If the person starts to flirt, block it by ignoring him/her and give no signals.

If you are approached, leave and tell them you have to go.

If the person asks you on a date, politely decline and tell them you are married and or involved in a serious relationship.

Do not respond to any gifts, cards or notes sent to you. If forced to reply return the items and tell them your flattered but you are seeing someone.

Ignore any cat calls, whistles or remarks. If you do not give a negative response or ignore it, they will think you are interested.

Don't ask very many questions, this may make you seem interested.

Never touch the person or get very close to them. Touch is the core ingredient to flirting with somebody.

Ask a friend to come to the rescue by stepping in between you and that person to keep any possible conversations from starting.

Show the person you don't want to talk with them by interrupting and saying you have to meet a friend or family member in several minutes.

Don't say terrible things about that person to people, you might start making a lot of enemies if they happen to be friends.

Be careful about that co-worker at the office that says they are just a "friend". They may have other intentions.

Also you must be very cautious not to give the impression that you are avoiding them because you do like them! Some people just don't get it. Do all the above and you should be fine.

As soon as any type of flirting starts, make it stop immediately. If you don't this will make the situation worse by making them think they have a chance with you.

Make a joke about your flirters behavior in front of others, this will cause light humiliation and make them stop.

Be honest about your feelings that you are not interested and confront them in person.

If in the workplace, complain to a supervisor about their behavior and action will be taken.

If all the above tips do not work and the person seems persistent, evaluate the situation. If you feel you have made yourself clear, you may need to take further action. Does this person pose a danger to you or your family? If so contact your local authorities immediately. If this is happening in the work place contact your supervisor, for sexual harassment is discrimination.
