Appendix IX: Example Verbal Responses
“I’m not interested in that kind of a relationship right now”
“I don’t need to prove anything to you; I just don’t want to, OK”
“It doesn’t make a difference if you call me names, it won’t change the fact that I’m just not ready, and I’m telling you “no”
“I think there are other ways we could have more fun at this point in our lives”
“I really like someone else. I’m sorry, but I’d really like to be friends”
“I really don’t want to risk getting pregnant; my mom would be really hurt”
Let’s just hold each other, OK?
I’d rather we knew one another a bit better. Can’t we just go and see a film?
“Let’s slow things down and talk about it again in a few months”
I like kissing and touching. I just don’t want more
