Don’t you just hate those guys who think they can make a score with fancy words and buying you drinks without even knowing your name? I certainly hate those types. It’s probably enough that they think they’re all that but really, to think that their bloated egos and awkward style can be enough to impress a sophisticated and thinking woman like yourself is really pushing it. But sometimes avoiding them is a lot harder than you think, especially when you find yourself saying yes to things you don’t really want. So what do you do in these situations?

You have to make life hard on them. 99% of all persistent pick-up line using boys will typically lose their nerve once they feel the first hint of rejection. But to make them really feel the ineffectiveness of their approach, you should really make them feel how unwanted their presence is. First and best trick that every girl has on her side is to know what kind of man is a potential pick-up artist and spot him from a mile away. That means you’re never caught by surprise by anything he does or tries.

Now if he still tries to assert himself on you with his moves, one of the most effective tricks that you can do is just to say a two-letter word: NO. Nothing can kill a man’s confidence more than the sight of a woman that is totally unreceptive to his advances. He can try ever trick in the book but as long as you say NO to each and every one of them, you’re in great shape.

Now privacy is all-important in this kind of setup. You should never give him a glimmer of hope if avoiding him is your true purpose. You shouldn’t divulge anything of relative importance to him: your job, your number, you home address. Doing that is just going to lead him to think that he’s actually going somewhere and you won’t see the end of him for a while.

There are countless other ways to foil that worst-date scenario. For more tips just check out: http://lifehackery.com/2008/08/04/life-7/
