What do you do if the wrong sex approaches you?

I'd be flattered, but I guess I'll have to tell her that I'm not interested. :rolle:

 

Feel awkward as hell, then say"no thank" or you have the wrong parts

 

Simply tell them you are not interested.

 

It's only happened once or twice, and it was more flirting than approaching. A compliment's a compliment. I just make sure they can tell I'm not interested.

 

happened quite often

i thanked them for expressing/showing their interest then i decline politely.

 

It's always awkward for me and uncomfortable.

 

I like to see how it plays out (it has only happened twice) - if they can be bothered to show an interest in me, I want to know, if only to make me feel more confident in myself.
Me: "Ooh, compliments! I'll take those, even if you have the wrong bits for me!"

 

I'm not good with talking to people so I walk away fast

 

Wouldn't explain my preferences, men just take it as a challenge and it increases the risk of assault

I'd rather just lie and say I have a boyfriend

 

Oh god I always end up feeling like shit when it happens but girls seem to like guys who treat them like a human being? Earth to straight guys?

 

I'm still in the closet, but I will usually give off "just friends" vibes or that I'm not interested (avoiding maintaining eye contact, not smiling too much, etc.). Sometimes it sucks because sometimes I'll get sucked into a good conversation without remembering or realizing that they are interested in me as more than a friend.

 

I guess that is the advantage of being bi... There is no wrong gender! (!)

 

I'm polite and I tell them that I'm already spoken for...

 

That's an advantage all right (!)(!)(!)

 

I just tell it as it is "Sorry, I have a girlfriend." ^-^

 

Yep (&&&)

 

Approaches as in just comes up to me, or approaches as in actively tries to flirt/engage with me that way?

I'm not really out so I'm more likely to just honestly say I'm not interested in them without necessarily going "oh sorry I just don't usually like men," especially since I'm not totally certain on that front either.

 

Usually I'll be a bit engaging & try to seem interested but I try to say fairly early on before I get hopes up "by the way, I'm gay." I've had a few girls fall for me in the last couple of years and I've had to say "you're very beautiful, but I'm.just not interested. I like guys."
