According to her, she noticed that the man appeared interested in speaking to her, and they eventually got down at the same bus stop.
She explained that she tried to get a motorcycle but found the fare too expensive, prompting the man to direct her to where she could get a tricycle.
Man accepts rejection without argument
After thanking him for the information, the man introduced himself and asked if he could get to know her.
The lady said, “I told him no I do not want to get to know you and this guy said you don’t want to know me?”
She maintained her decision, after which the man simply said goodbye and walked away.
The lady said she was shocked by his reaction because she had previously experienced situations where men continued following or walking with her despite rejecting their advances.
Lady praises man’s response
Reflecting on the encounter, she said, “A woman’s no is not for you to prove yourself. A no is a no. Take it and go.”
She further stated, “I was so happy. That has never happened to me before. I’ve had men walk with me to my house after I said no.”
The lady described the man’s conduct as commendable, stressing that women should be able to reject advances without being pressured to explain themselves.
Her experience has since sparked discussion about respecting boundaries and accepting rejection in dating and everyday interactions.
