How do you respond to men when they approach you, show interest, or whatever?
Today I went to Staples after work. I saw this black guy and his kids leaving the store. I got out of my car and looked at them. Then I looked straight ahead, and there was a white guy coming out of the store. He smiled at me, so I smiled back.
Then I went and faxed something. I came back out, and there was a big white F-250 parked beside me. Hmm.... So, I start to back out, and then the truck starts to back out. I thought that was weird, because the truck had just gotten there in the 2 minutes I was in the store. No one had even gone into the store since then.
Well, the truck let me go. I thought I was gonna be first out, and then I see the same truck passing by me in the parking lot. Darn! Then the guy inside waves at me. I hoped he didn't think I was waving at him. He goes through the traffic light, and I go through the traffic light in the lane beside him. I notice that he's driving really slow.
Surely that truck has more horsepower than my little Celica, so I'm thinking, maybe he thinks he knows me. I decide to let my window up (so he can't see me) and pass him. I do, and drats, another traffic light. I'm the 2nd car in my lane. No car is in front of him, but I see that he's rolled his passenger window down to possibly talk to me. His driver's side window is up.
He rolls past me slow, and I just look ahead. Then it dawns on me that this is the guy who smiled at me at Staples.
I always shut guys down. My answer to them is always, "No. No. No. No." It probably shouldn't be, though. How do you handle such situations?

I'm looking for advice on how you would handle the situations knowing the guys are interested.
As if.
He turned out to be a nice guy but we never hooked up.
