SafeGuarding Your Integrity

I have never been able to understand one-night-standers. Not because the idea of a one night stand is against every iota of self respect I have but because I don't even like most people I know enough to "bogey down" with them not to mention complete strangers.
Most people will say things like this doesn't happen in my area or my friends don't do that but frankly you'll be surprised at what people you know do with their time and opportunities.
A friend of mine had told me, how she went to a club in abuja with a mutual friend and her love interest (at the moment) and while sitting at the bar and feeling sorry for herself at the lack of a love interest (she had just broken up with hers), a guy, goodlooking,tall, Sexy physique and the like, walked up to her and requested for a dance which she obliged, he was too cute to say no to.
After dancing for a while, they went back to the bar and he bought her a drink while they converse......In the midst of the conversation, he said to her quite abruptly, "I have a suite at the hilton,not far from here; why don't we go back to the room for some fun and I will give you 300k ".
Just like that, no preamble, no by your leave, no what do you think and with an infuriating confidence and assurance to boot.
The problem here is the proposition, but the confidence with which it was said, that shows that this person has been making such sentences and actually getting what he wants and that it was no big deal with him. Now the question is, what will you do if you get such a request be it from and a guy or girl, truthfully what will be your reaction considering this is a young, goodlooking person (male/female) whom you'd go on a date with if asked.
The second question is..... how do you get out of that situation with your dignity intact and head held high (understand that by the fact that he asked you, you're dignity has already suffered some loss)......
Don't rush into an answer because of what people will say, or feel indignant because you should instead the insult of the request (that's if your answer is no), and take your time to school him/her on the appropriate way to treat people and then, tell them, if perchance they been making such request and getting away with it, that you can't be bought by money and next time, s/he should try respect, exciting conversation and maybe just God given common sense because it might just work.....
Then, walk away with you best steps......

  1. As a guy, I will be taken aback at such proposition because for a lady to whirl up such impetus there is more to it than the eyes can see(danger)...For a stranger as it were (I will give no thoughts of pampering her pride) I will just blatantly excuse myself to the bathroom and that would be it OR depending on my mood may just decide to flirt a little bit. Ciao!

    PS: In the case of a lady, I assume the reaction will definitely be different.
