Are you going to give up that easily? ๐
Try this old hunters trick: from now on, ignore him. Never rude, but just uninterested. Find another hottie within his view, to shower your attention on. Buy the hottie a funny, cute, novelty gift and thank him for being such a great, friendly guy after a few days. Flirt and joke. Keep ignoring Mr hard-to-get. Your patience may be rewarded. ๐
