I get that too on occasion. I only answer if I feel like talking to a drunk person. Depends on my mood. |

The one tonight was drunk and stupid enough to say, "Why aren't you sleeping?" |

On Monday night, I got a call from one of my adult students at 12:15 am. Asked if I wanted to come out for drinks. He's been trying to introduce me to his girlfriend for a while so he told me to come meet her and her friends. Her 2 friends were models so I wasn't complaining. |

Last time that happened to me in a good way, it was an adult student I thought was really hot. She ended up staying at my place for the next three days. We dated a few months until we went overseas. So that was good.
Slightly off-topic, I have this crazy girl (not a student) who I met in a bar a couple of months ago who is calling me obsessively now and it's really pissing me off. This morning she called at 05:50am. Usually I don't answer the phone - I've told her I'm not her boyfriend. One day I counted 27 calls from her. The worst part is she knows where I live.
Love motels have a purpose, ya'know. |

Years ago I was cool with "Come out and get f'ed up with us all night!!". Had plenty of them. But I know YTB is older and probably isn't down for that shit. I'm also starting to feel my age.
It's a young, foolish man's game, I suppose. Now I'm just an old fool. |

Paying women like that a lump sum of money (however much they want) works wonders in keeping them away.
She may be lonely, but to most women, money solves all problems. Bet you if she were rich, she'd go off to find some other guy.
Hand her $200, tell her to run off to the bar and have fun. |

I was in a similar situation. I was at my friend's daughter's first birthday party with my coworker, who has a boyfriend. When I was up and at the buffet, this girl comes to my table and when I get back, she is standing there and my coworker is just sitting there, not looking at her, just ignoring the other girl, while looking straight ahead. She resembled a mannequin. "This woman wants you to teach her private lessons," my coworker said to me sarcastically.
Private lessons, my coworker sitting there, not good. So I told the woman I wasn't really interested, but she went to my friend who was throwing the party and she got hold of my phone number. Then she is calling me a lot. "When can I see you? When can I see you? When can I see you? I really want you to teach me English."
I told her I was really busy but I would try to make time. She was all about meeting me in Hongdae on Saturday nights at 11 pm for a private lesson. Please.
I just ignore her calls now but they still continue. |

The silly mare called me about midnight last night, just as I was dropping off to sleep. First I didn't answer the phone. Then she called again about 2 minutes later. I picked up the phone and said "Stop fucking calling me, I have to work tomorrow and I need to sleep!" She said "Oh, sorry, sorry." and I hung up, thinking that was the end of it.
5 minutes later she called AGAIN - can you believe that?
I picked up the phone and verbally tore her a new one. By this time I was wide awake and, as I said on another thread, I have trouble enough getting to sleep without this silly moo calling me at all hours. I was so pissed off last night I had to go out to Buy the Way to get a beer.
I'll have to buy a decent alarm clock so I don't need to rely on my cellphone alarm to wake me up. Then I can just turn the bastard off when I go to bed.
Oh, and when I returned from Buy the Way (about 10 minute round trip) I found 2 more missed calls from her on my phone.

Why do they have your phone #? I would never give my number to a student regardless of age.

I don't know how you guys can have such trouble trying to drive women off. I never have that problem, personally.  |

When my phone rings at that time of night/morning, I pick it up and slam it back down without saying anything.  |

I often just hit the 'call cancel' button, but she just calls again. If I ignore it, she calls again. If I answer and tell her to stop fucking calling me, she calls again. If it goes on much longer I'll have to change my number, which is a huge fucking hassle. |

That's precisely why I didn't want to teach adults. |
