Point taken. I did gone through the same, there are people who will insist eventhough they know you are in a relationship. I find it too rude to tell them, "Hey, I actually have a girlfriend" I rather ignore them or excuse myself tbh. Lmao @ this
It would be more common for something like that to happen to women and not men, but it does happen. When I was in a relationship, other females would often try to get with me. not so much asking directly for my number, but basically the same thing. I never had to tell them I had a gf at the time, but I’d reject them nicely. It’s never gotten to the point where I’d have to tell them I had a girlfriend.
