It's time for New Year's corporate events and parties. And even the most strict housewife wants to flirt a little and feel like a queen. However, many men understand flirting as absolutely different from women. And after a couple of dances and standard phrases, they expect a non-double-digit continuation. Explaining to the gentleman that this is not part of your plans, you can face unjustified aggression.
The hunting season is open
Unfortunately, many men are already accustomed to the fact that at almost any party you can "pick up" a woman for one night. Therefore, when going to the club with friends, you should take into account several points.
Appearance. Of course, this does not mean that you need to wear a formal suit or a skirt up to your heels. But it is better to leave an overly open dress hanging in the closet. For a party with girlfriends, a fashionable cocktail dress is quite suitable, especially if you are going to a corporate party.
Don't count on the decency of a stranger. All new acquaintances should be treated with a slight note of suspicion. And if the man's words or actions are unpleasant for you, then you should tell him about it right away. Don't be afraid to offend a stranger by thinking that he might have done it by accident. Regardless of your motives, it's best to make it clear right away that he shouldn't cross your comfort zone.
Stay close to the staff of the establishment. If you feel that the stranger intends to go over the edge of decency, look around, see which of the guards, waiters is closer to you. And under the pretext that you need to ask them a question, leave. In most cases, frustrated suitors do not follow the ladies.
Feel free to grab the attention of others. Especially if active harassment begins. Say loudly: "I have asked you many times not to bother me!" Many of the visitors will choose not to interfere. But on the other hand, you will have time to retreat from the man's field of vision, when he is at a loss for a minute from your actions.
Corporate - meeting without ties
Many companies throw employee parties. Thanks to them, relations between colleagues are being improved, there is an opportunity to communicate in an informal setting and discover something new in a person. But it also happens that after a couple of glasses of alcohol, a colleague changes: a bad shine appears in the eyes and liberties in words and deeds. And in order not to spoil the festive mood for yourself, as well as not to make problems at work, you will have to improvise.
Start a job conversation as soon as you spot the first signs of harassment. For example, let him help solve a difficult professional problem. Speak in a casual and formal tone, without a hint of coquetry or silly chuckles. The mention of work will quickly cool the ardor and break the atmosphere of intimacy.
Use your phone as a distraction. As soon as you notice that a colleague is overstepping the bounds of what is permissible, take a moment and call a family member or friend. Ask them to bombard you with calls every 5 to 10 minutes. A colleague will get tired of being constantly distracted by calls, and he will go in search of a less busy employee.
Do not drink with colleagues on brotherhood, no matter how you ask. This is the beginning of the end of official relations. For a man, broodershaft is another reason for kissing.
Stay alert. A man can retreat for a while. But seizing a favorable moment will again go on the offensive. To prevent this from happening, try not to be alone with him anymore, do not take glasses of drinks from his hands. And no matter how sad it was, but this person can no longer be trusted.
