take a hint

the most polite form of rejection is avoiding. despite the fact that you are prob thinking to yourself nooo i would like to be rejected to my face.
no, i don't think you would

here is how to politely reject someone

1. give him your number. (it saves his face from being embarrassed.) you can give him a fake but he will prob try and test it in front of you. or chase you down the street to test it in front of you. 2. but when he calls - don't answer.
yes, in thailand there is no voice mail, so he can call anywhere from 4-10 times in a row. Don't give in and answer. The ringing phone will be annoying, but DO NOT answer. Learn from my friend Caro's mistakes.
3. Do not respond to his texts.
It depends on the guy if you receive a text or a call first. You most likely will get both though. DO NOT respond to the text you receive. again we are going for polite here, so if you "politely" respond with a rejection in a text back you are already doing a big no no. Because you just made things rude.
4. He may try and find you on facebook. This will be funny, because you never gave him your last name. all he knows is that you are francis or frances, you are currently in chiang mai, and your accent sounds american. and you might have said you were from nashville, but you were too drunk and dont remember. When he finds you on facebook he might message you first.
he might say something like "Hey dude! You gave me a wrong number."
this is funny, cause if you did then you did it for a certain reason and he is calling you out on it or is asking for rejection.
to save your own face you may respond with "no i didn't" or something simpler. don't inquire anything else or share any details.
after all he already found you on facebook and thats already creepy. especially the things he could find out.
5. since you sort of opened a can of worms responding you may now be creative - the more the better. and come up with an elaborate story something to avoid seeing this man or woman.
6. if he doesn't get it still, stop responding all together
7. you feel bad? give it flat out. my fave way is in writing, the other ways just ended in "why?" and "can we meet and talk about this?" it may be rude, but it is certainly no time to be polite. especially if he hangs out outside your apt waiting for you to come home
