So with my first club visit coming up tomorrow I was just wondering about etiquette . I’m a very social person and can chat to anyone but if your asked to play what’s the correct response if your not feeling it .
I’d never want too upset anyone |

"Smile nicely and say "no thank you".
Trying not to upset people leads to ambiguity which is never helpful"
Thanks so much guys , it’s a tricky one I guess |

We were talking about this earlier. We agreed that it's time women stopped being concerned about upsetting men when it comes to refusing sex. It's your right to say no and most men will respect that if it's said pleasantly  |

Absolutely. Be clear, be unambiguous, if they get upset, they need to grow up and handle themselves better. |

As well as all the above, if you have problems with someone being nasty if you've said no, to whatever they've asked for for whatever reason, mention it to the bar staff. Most clubs have a zero tolerance policy on this and will speak to them. |

Actively chatting with rapport in 2 way dialogue gives a bloke (false) hope. Maybe one word answers, break eye contact; any decent chap would get the hint and not want to waste his time. Or, nip to the loo, and come back to a different point... if all else fails, a polite not what I’m looking for should be fine x |

Years ago on our first club visit, we were approached by a single man in the jacuzzi. We chatted for a few minutes and then he asked if we wanted to go up to a room .
We explained it was our first visit and we wanted to take it slowly , so no thanks on this occasion. He completely understood, was charming and we carried on chatting for ages.
Being totally open worked well for us.
Have fun and try not to be too nervous.
Easier said than done but you’ll love it !!

This. You can still be friendly and chatting but give a direct answer. People in clubs are generally used to people saying no and so they should normally be fine.
If a man can't accept a No then they shouldn't be in the club. |

It worries you because women are told to be nice to people from birth, we're brought up to be non confrontational and pleasers. If we object to something we're often told we're difficult or being unfriendly, if we don't object and are friendly we're told we're leading men on or sending out mixed messages. It's no wonder we worry about how to refuse a man. That's why I said earlier say no, pleasantly but firmly, there's no room for misunderstanding and most men will accept with good grace. |

It's your right to say no: don't over think things! |

We absolutely hate saying no to people but it has to be done sometimes, we just say, thank you so much for the interest but no thank you and whenever we have said it, people have been so understanding and have replied, that's fine I understand and I'm enjoying chatting to you at least xx |
