handling a hissy fit

[TheFlyingMan]

Long story, I work as a tutor at college, but basically yesterday a girl threw a hissy fit at me when I was trying to explain some homework to her. Everyone knows she's attracted to me, but obviously I can't do anything about it as a professional...she's about a HB 8...

ANyway she got real upset cos I spent some time teaching her the software we were learning and she said she wanted to leave. I said if you want, I can spend some more time teaching, just let me get my own stuff out of the way first. She was basically whinging and whining a lot.

After a few minutes, I just said if you want to go, go. Copy the notes from your friend tomorrow to make up for what you missed. And she packed her bags and left. SHe looked at me a few times, maybe wanted to see my reaction but I ignored her. I was getting a bit annoyed at her childishness, so I didnt want to say much more.

Today she was back to normal, and always flirting with me, hitting my arm playfully etc, maybe even more then she was before yesterday.

The way I handled this was a lot better then before I became an RAFC, but I still think there's a lot of room for improvement.

Now I don't and CAN'T want this woman, but I can imagine other biatches doing this stuff to me in the future, I want to know how to handle THEM. So please no comments on how I should stay away from students, I know that already, and I never ever flirt back.

if shes being childish, tell her to leave and only come back when shes ready to act mature.

be firm and dont show any hint of fear or doubt in your eyes.

attracted or not, dont let her use her power over you.

you handled her well. just when she starts whining and acting sooky, use this word.....Silence! but say it in a goofy stern way. it's like a villian talking to his subordinates. it always disarms most women that start acting like that.

I love that SILENCE! idea, LOL! I'll use that from now on. I'll crack myself up even if no one else laughs!
