You’re at a party with friends, and someone you’ve been flirting with starts getting closer. When you pause, they keep pushing even after you say you’re not into it.

Repeated pressure after a refusal

What’s the best move when someone keeps pushing after you refuse?

  • Keep explaining until they get it
  • Say “No. I’m done. I’m leaving” and step away
  • Stand your ground and argue back and forth
  • Try to make them understand your reasons

Recommended

Say “No. I’m done. I’m leaving” and step away

Consent is something you choose again and again. If you say no or you’re not sure, the other person should stop, give you space, and let you decide. Repeated pressure after a refusal is a red flag. You can end the moment and move toward friends or staff, without arguing or explaining.

Your next step

Say “No. I’m done,” then step away toward friends or staff.

Words you can use

“No. I’m done. I’m leaving.”
