[Serious] Please don't talk hypothetically, like "just ignore it". I can't. If I do, then I'm silent one, and work requires work in team (kitchen), so there must be flow of conversation at most times. And I can't just like that shut down, or I will be unreliable employee, who doesn't talk and is introverted, shy.
How to handle sexual jokes from unbelievers aimed towards single man ?
When I get jokes from unbelievers like when pointing some woman and saying "would you screw this ? ", "follow her on insta".
And it simply, if I entertain it more, it will lead to place where I get peer pressure that like I should talk to this woman, I'm not attracted in first place because of her character and I know she's not practicing christianity (obviously, by dressing scantily on insta).
And if I act hesitantly when it comes at point to contact her to dating, then I get nervous, anxious. That is not what I want. I don't want to date unbeliever. I know it will lead to pressure for premarital sex same way.
But if when it comes at point of messaging and backing out, by peers I would be seen as weakling, and coward.
Which is also image I don't want to portray to people either. It's not how they should see christians. I'm not coward, just can't accept that low morals woman.
And if you tell me "tell them respectably why you don't want her... ". Thing is, those people don't really want to listen to reasons. They just go in relationship as joke and treat is a joke. That's why we get all those "relationship" on insta story. Just because one moment we agreed to call it that way. But it doesn't feel like it, but feels more like friendship with sex flirting and joking. And they break up as fast as they make those "relationships".
That's damaging to me, and I can't accept that. It's also about my feelings that would get hurt unnecessary, when everyone treat relationships as joke.
