Scenario 1: If you're a female working professional who has been invited over to a party by your male boss, here's what you can do. If you don't want to go to the party, you can politely decline. If he insists and probably threatens your job in the situation, ask a group of your friends to accompany you to the party. This way, he will end up with a clear idea of what kind of relationship he needs to maintain with you.

As a girl, you might be very close to a male friend. You might have known him for a very long period of time and may suddenly find out that he's dropping hints of being interested in you. He may give you unwanted compliments or try to show unwanted gestures. If this happens, be strict with him right from the start and tell him very clearly that you are uninterested in him so that the situation dissolves before it has a chance to progress.

If you're a man who is accompanying a female friend for a few drinks and find yourself and your friend too drunk to make rational decisions, refuse to do anything further even if it may seem like a good idea at the time. If your female friend insists, be firm and say no. After all, a no means no, irrespective of your gender.

Imagine a social situation where you're a man who is accompanying his female friend. If it happens that she is suddenly showing interest in you and you are not interested in her that way, be clear right from the start. Don't shrug and avoid the situation. Rather be firm about your decision and face the situation. Tell your friend that you have no such interests and that you only want to be her friend.

This is a situation that countless men and women have faced in their lives. If a so-called friend of yours is sending you private pictures of themselves that you are not interested in, tell them the truth. Tell them that their behaviour is extremely inappropriate and that if they continue doing so, you will inform the right authorities. If they still persist with such behaviour, block them and take the right action against them.
