Take no for an answer
Not sure if this is the right sub but it still makes me laugh to this day & the guy finally left me alone.
To start I'm 40 female & gay. I've been married to my beautiful wife since March 2024.
Back in September 2021 when my wife & I started dating we lived over an hour apart. We would try to get together during the week but whatever happened during the week we always made the commitment to take turns & visit each other at the weekend. When it was my turn I would finish work on the Friday, drive straight over there & return late on the sunday.
I'd started with my employer in July of that same year so not everyone knew alot about me & aside from my immediate colleagues, nobody knew I was gay.
There was one guy who worked in one of our warehouses who took a shine to me & would make a point of stopping by my desk every month at payday to ask me out on a date that following weekend. I always politely declined, even before I started dating my then girlfriend I still said no, for obvious reasons. I did actually say I was gay when he first asked but he laughed & thought I was joking so i stopped saying it & just simply said no thank you. He was a lovely guy, always backed off when I declined so i thought no harm. Hes just lonely maybe.
One friday, just after payday in November, it was my turn to visit & I was packing my things up ready to leave. He came in & asked what I was up to that weekend. I said I was going to Manchester. He said 'oh im heading over that way this weekend too' (course you were). He said 'so who's in Manchester then'. I looked at him dead in the eye & said 'my girlfriend'. Something clicked in his head, he walked away & never bothered me again.
