I play poker online, and my picture pops up as the player (obviously). When I first started playing, people gave me compliments, I liked it. But now I'm getting tired of it. I feel like I can't play without being chatted up, and sometimes harassed. I don't like leaving the room because normally by then I've figured out the players play patterns.
So, when people start with them, they just say hi. And I don't want to be rude, so I say hi back. And then they ask when I live, and I just say the country. Then they ask my age. I don't feel comfortable answering that, and sometimes I'll say '21' or '20's' or 'Sorry, I don't give out info like that'. And then they start chatting me up, saying I'm pretty and so on. And then sometimes I have guys who seem to be in competition to 'wooo' me. Like yesterday the guy told the other guy to leave me alone cause I was his.
Uhh, I don't think so.
So, is it best I completely ignore it when they say 'Hi' so I'm not in that position?
Or, do I answer, and then say "I don't give out that infor"...
or what?
What is the politest rejection? What would you prefer if you were on the receiving end?
