That's not the best way to respond to unwanted advances. They are usually returned just as a reaction and it doesn't feel good either way. Refusal, like many of the current advances, is a problem caused by emotional and physical factors. Some people may engage in a relationship purely as a one-sided case, rather than actively stepping up to the challenge. If you don't want someone, don't give them anything. Just say something like " no, i'm not interested. The advances are inevitable and they are the allure of even a minimal interaction. Talking will not help you come clean-you are merely giving the aggressor the option to invade your private space.
