PurpleAce Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 There’s a guy at work that is sort of hitting on me, and I’m seriously considering pretending to be a lesbian. Mainly because I like him as a friend, but nothing more. I mean, I think he’s nice and fun and everything, but I’m not even romantically attracted to him, I’m sure of that. Do you think it will work? Any advice will be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
Wiseja1987 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 My advice would be to tell him, without apology or explanation: "No thanks, I'm not interested." A person who doesn't respect that will NOT respect "No thanks, I'm not interested in men." If you do this, and he keeps pushing, or demands an explanation, he is A: a very bad friend, and B: a potentially dangerous person you should report to your supervisor.

Star Bit Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Saying so (lesbian or just that you're not interested) may result in losing him anyway; some men only become friends with women so they can end up dating them. In fact, it may be in the minority (if not rare) for men to be friends with women without anterior motives, where as it's common for women. link (and that's just one vid confirming it; there's also a low count study on it; link, which i think would still have the same results if it was of a more conclusive amount because of the amount of groups of people reiterating the same thing) Link to post Share on other sites
TrAse Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 ^ I agree with the posts above. Also, if you pretend to be a lesbian and you don't lose him as a friend... he thinks you are a lesbian, so how comfortable are you with keeping up this pretense? You'd be constantly lying to a friend. I think it would be an awful situation, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites
PackLeader87 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 No, just reject the guy, and since he is a coworker, he will have to behave. Link to post Share on other sites
