What can i say to a guy when i don't like then 'chatting me up'?

[Lizzie-Eilish]

So, I'm really over guys trying to get with me by saying ' Hey cutie', 'you're hot!', 'Hi sexy'.
They don't even know me and just because they think i look good they are trying to 'chat me up' by giving me these cheap cliche remarks. I'm 18 now and i don't want to be talked to like that. Even though it's a complement and take it as then not respecting woman or something.

A guy just called me cute and i just said 'please don't call me that, but thanks'. Then he said ' you don't like being called that?'. I don't know what to say, and i know this is going to come up quite a bit, so i need to work out how i am going to respond to this.

I don't want to say all what i said in my first paragraph ( the truth bluntly i guess), though i want them to know how i feel. So what do i say to these boys? I'm stumped.

I don't want to say something incredibly uncaring like " respect woman, i don't like being 'chatted up' cheaply cliche like that". Too harsh, i can't accuse them for really chatting me up yet.

Please help

A polite thank you would be enough. He is calling you cute just to be polite, or otherwise you may feel hurt. Don't act like as if you are the hard to get type. There is really no need to fuss over a harmless remark and a mere thank you in response wont waste your time.

You can say back whatever you want. If you dont like it tell him, "You dont know me and I feel uncomfortable that you are saying that to me." That should shut him up. If it doesnt shut him up tell him you are going to report him. Oh honey believe me, you can tell a guy or anyone that has the nerve to say things to you that makes you feel uncomfortable to go away. Ive done it and will do it again. Take care of yourself.
