    At a bar or in the street:

    I don’t want to flirt back, but I am afraid he’ll just keep getting more pushy or forceful. Anyone around can play diversion please?

      I feel this, it feels dangerous to make a man upset or angry, or even disappointed - so you try to be super nice and polite, but then he just misreads your politeness as interest.
