I just couldn’t get rid of the guy

A man kept approaching #GummiLove #Rookie Tizi at a party, even though she just wanted to dance. She sought help from a friend. Together they confronted the man.

"I was at a party once and was really feeling the music," says rookie Tizi, who had hardly had anything to drink that night. At some point, she noticed a man next to her who was also enjoying the music and with whom she then danced. "At some point, he tried to talk to me again and again and shouted something in my ear. I thought it was totally weird and actually just wanted to dance." She tried to get rid of him several times. When that didn't work, Tizi finally got help from a friend. The two of them confronted the man. You can see how he reacted in the video.

The sexpert tip

"Dancing tends to create suggestive vibes and it's not always easy to tell whether this could be a mating dance or whether this person just wants to dance for themselves. If you then approach such a person and dance towards them, there are some clear signs of dislike. The person turns away, avoids eye contact, moves away or even verbally indicates that they are not interested. Respect is the number one rule. Make it clear in a decent manner that you are not interested, as it is also a compliment to be seen. If you are rejected, respect this and keep your distance or move away. There definitely doesn't have to be several requests or the girlfriend has to intervene. Not accepting these boundaries is simply disrespectful behavior.
