Court_Knee,
That's an interesting question. How about just staring at them, like "I can't believe you're acting like that!" or a "How rude" look.  EJ |

How about identifying their behavior (pushiness) to them and how it makes you feel (hurt, scared, alienated?). Maybe they don't know they're doing it or maybe if faced with the "evidence" of their behavior, they will back off and not be so pushy.

Just stay away from them if you can.
Make a quick exit (have to go now) Put them off (have to think about/get back to you) Have another plan (can't come for the entire day, Mom, only have between 1 and 4, am doing other stuff before and after)

Argh, I hate pushiness. My good friend, (who has a crush on me) is always pushy and trying to hold my hand. I have to learn to be firm, I have already told him twice that I don't want a boyfriend...Its stressful, but the next time he hits on me, I might snap.lol.
