My friend (in college as well) has a Biology Lab class and everyone is assigned in groups of 4-5 and they sit together do projects etc. They all exchanged numbers and one person in their group is a 33 year old man (she is 20). Today, he sent her a text message and said hi to her and asked how she was. She responded by saying, "Good, how are you?" (They were all arranging to meet to study for a final, and they had to contact eachother)
Then he asked her a strange question, "I'm fine..uh..So what kind of guys do you like?" It made her feel uncomfortable, how should she respond to this?

I told her to ignore him best she could, because he's 33 and that seemed a bit personal for a lab partner.

She's not interested in him at any form.

She should tell him that she senses that he is getting the wrong idea about her motives, and that she would appreciate it if he would understand that she is only interested in the class and learning and having "just friends", or something like that. If after she talks to him, he continues to behave this way, then he is disrespecting her feelings and she will need to take further action. If he were to continue the behavior that made her feel uncomfortable after she has made it clear that she is not interested, then tell her to be very careful, he may be dangerous.

well, she could just say " i like guys like my boyfriend" and that'll probably stop him from hitting on her (even if she doesnt have a BF she could just pretend) or say something like " i like guys that are my age and into -(say something the guys not into)-" its kinda rude to ignore him, expecially since thay are working on a project together. she just needs to let him know very quickly that shes not and will never be interested in the guy. but dont put it that bluntly. just hint at it well

I have a boyfriend, my brothers best friend. If she gets uncomfortable she should change groups and stay away from him.

Exactly what your advice was to her, just to ignore it and if he persists, I wouldn't waste my money on text's, I'd come right out and tell him to leave her alone,that she is not interested in his personal questions and to stop! Period!!!!!

she should simply tell him shes uncomfortable withthat line of questioning from him and be firm but kind that they are strictly lab parteners and nothing more will come from it

Yes, she should ignore it and not respond, for now. If he keeps it up then she should talk to her professor, and so on. That's slightly creepy!

Answer his question. "Guys close to my own age. Not interested in older men." That should do it.

The easiest thing to do is tell him she's involved with someone.

Truth works and is even better if it is tactfully done.
