I’ve had a date for a couple of years ago, we drunk a couple of glasses of red and talked for a couple of hours. The man was (perhaps still is) a good conversationalist, nothing controversial, nothing disturbing, no sharp edges and … nothing to remember or look forward to.
We agreed to go paddle together, he failed to show (due to excess alcohol consumption a day before that, my guess) and I found myself feeling a relief. I do prefer paddle alone.
We never met again: I said no to all his suggestions. But nonetheless, he took upon himself to make hints in his comments on FB as if he knows more about me, than he really does, as if we are a couple and meet regularly. I seldom react on his comments. I take my time to answer his private messages, if I do it at all. I never return his calls.
Isn’t that obvious that I am not interested in him? What signs of rejection do men understand?

Generally...most men don't take rejection very well.
They prefer to do the rejection than being rejected.
Rogerandout: You don't listen to that do you Donal. That's just part off the game. Playing hard to get. Now a restraining order, then you have to think. Maybe she's not interested
its basically along them lines,,sometimes less swearing involved

I'm straight as they come, if I don't want him he will know. I just say I'm sorry but we are just friends, there is nothing there! If you say ' I feel" then they cannot tell you how to feel. Pretty blunt, but I'd rather that than be accused further down the line of stringing along or being in awkward positions

I think ignoring his calls is pretty blunt. Never told him anything about my feelings. And no, I'll never say a man that we are "just friends", coz I never have male friends to start with. Friendship is very important to me, I had a very few people throughout my life, whom I considered my friends, they all were women. "Just friends" doesn't exist for me. And it's another subject.

Friends? Yeah right, no man's gonna be friends with a woman who's brutally rejected him. You're a hard woman Irish

That I am, but the respect is there and yes I am friends or have been out in same places and same group of friends. Most of my friends are male anyway. Less drama lol
