Guy gave me his number but I don't want it.

[Guest HELP!!!]

I was at work and a customer kept asking me questions about boyfriends and I stupidly didn't think about it or catch on to his meaning (cause guys "joke" like this all the time) and answered all his questions (though I clearly stated that I was not looking for a relationship).

I though it was over until he gave me his number.

Problem is that his boss is a frequent shopper where I work which means I'm likely going to see him often.

I told my mom about it and she said not to respond if I'm not interested. Which would normally be fine with me, but again, he's going to constantly show up at my job.

Is not responding the right way to go?

(I've also been paranoid about the recent news about women rejecting men and getting beat up, so I'm extra nervous about this.)

Don't respond to him. Try to ignore him in your job and if he try "something", just tell him strongly you're not interrested (maybe more times, some people are slow to understand). Good luck🍀

Just be super platonic and shit weird them out or find new job or talk to ur boss

1. Do not respond

2. Talk to your boss about the situation (ie "hey [boss], [person] from [company] gave me his number yesterday despite me repeatedly saying I'm not interested. I'm a little worried about continuing to be the one helping him, and was wondering what the next steps here are.")

3. Keep a record of any interactions with him going forward. If something escalates, you'll want some kind of paper trail to point to
