Several questions about bar courtship etiquette.

Asked by nikipedia (28077points) March 31st, 2008

A lot of men complain about women being teases who let guys buy them drinks even though they’re not interested. Let’s say I’m at a bar and having a great conversation. I’d like to continue the conversation, but am under no circumstances going to date/have sex with the guy in question.

(1) At what point in the conversation am I obligated to let him know I’m not interested?

(2) How do I let him know? Do I have to explicitly state “I am not interested”, or can men be trained to read body language?

(3) If a woman was shooting you down, would you want to know the reason? Does it matter to you if she’s not interested because she has a boyfriend or because she doesn’t like you personally?
