Guy I've rarely met flirting with me too strong
On Monday, I'm meeting a guy friend that I've only met twice before and sporadically kept in touch with online. He moved 1100 miles away to Florida, and I happen to be vacationing in the area for the week.
The problem is, he's been coming on to me WAY too strong and said he "wants to see me." He's tried to talk dirty in some of his social media correspondence. I can tell he's flirting, and he offered to treat me to things. I will only date a guy I can commit to in marriage, and I don't think I can see mysef wed to this guy.
How can I turn this guy's romantic advances down?
Just tell him that you're not interested in him in romantically.

What? No, don't listen to these people. Listen to a guy who's had his romantic advances turned down by hundreds of women ![]()
-Pick up on some little thing that sort of not really offends you and make a big deal out of it. Then when he tries to defend himself or clarify , and then say you don't date guys like that. And you're just not right for eachother if you can't agree on these sorts of things.
-ask him for clarification when he mentions something vaguely sexual as if you have absolutely no idea what he's talking about, and then when/if he clarifies act shocked and appalled. And then, say you aren't EASY and you're not up for a one night stand.
-there's just the classic making up excuses constantly...oh no, I can't this weekend.
-if you're too passive for that then you accept but then call him at the last minute and say some weird stuff happened and you have to cancel. Then you just keep doing that, 3 times of that and even the most motivated of guys will give up the chase. The best part is if he gets angry, well, then he just revealed how hot headed and insensitive he is.
I know it kind of sounds devious, but I mean, I feel like it's less harmful than telling them straight up. Honestly, that just hits you like a ton of bricks whereas, this way, the guy kind of just feels confused and a little angry, but will probably get over it in a few days at most.
Ya if girls told me they werne't interested and why, I wouldn't have had to go through all that s**t in 8th and 9th grade. Even though I got rejected time and time again, at least I had the guts to go talk to women. Something I lack now, probably because i'm just afraid I will get rejected time and time again again.

Just tell him that if you wanted to be treated like a ho you would be on Craigslist and not on whatever social media he tried to talk dirty to you on. That's a dealbreaker there, since that ain't what you're looking for. He just wants a roll in the hay and nothing else. Guys don't try to talk dirty to girls right off the bat if they are trying to get romantic with them. He's looking at you like a booty call so you put him in his place. Flirting too strong is one thing, he may not know what he's doing, but talking dirty to you, not just no baby, but hell no!
Shut that down now.

I think this is not a good idea. This sort of behavior sounds like some sort of nightmarish stereotype. Being honest is always best. Its also okay to cushion the truth with something, anything positive you can say about him.
And I love the way you put it OliveOilMom!
I might as well talk about how this meetup went (was too busy on vacation all this week to post sooner).
It turned out this guy was always very excited to see friends from his original hometown area visiting him in FL. He hangs with visiting friends when he gets the chance. He kissed me on the cheek, though. I will only kiss a person if I truly love them, and this was only the third time we ever met. (It took me MONTHS of my crush kissing me on the cheek before I fell for him and started kissing him back.)
But he doesn't drink. That's a HUGE dealbreaker for me. (I originally asked to meet him at a bar because that's a pretty easy place to socialize.)
