Return to article: How to Discourage a Man From Bothering You in France
on 11/4/2008 You meant probably 'DRAGUEUR" this is the way some French guys operate. My style when I was in France was to invite a girl dancing. It is easier when she is in your arms...LOL. If you are a good dancer, and I have danced with the best of them at Bastille days here in Milwaukee, is to simply walk away. Not look, not say anything, no fear...and that is the best deterrent.

on 7/15/2007 Another useful phrase: "Vous rigolez!" "You're joking!" Not meant literally and accompanied with the appropriate expression - it will still be understood as a definite brush-off.

on 11/22/2005 Something important to remember when visiting France is not to smile at passing strangers (especially on the bus or metro). While in America it is perfectly normal to smile or nod at strangers with whom you happen to achieve eye contact. In France this may be construed as you showing interest.
