A guy from the gym wanted to accompany me up the car, so I said: "I am fine thank you!" I know this was not the most polite answer to a gentleman question. I want to know what I should to answer if I do not want the company of the person, and yet do not want to be rude and say no. I do not know how I say in English, the correct and polite answer!

Best answer!

"Thank you for your offer, but I'm fine" or "...I can manage." Your answer was not a bad one, just casual. :-)

Many Spas and Gyms offer to walk their patrons to their cars in an effort to dissuade would-be attackers.If you would prefer to go to your vehicle alone then your response of "No,thank you" is appropriate.You could check the policy of your Gym to be sure that his intent was genuine.Personally I like to be escorted to my vehicle at night by anyone..man or beast!!(I mean yard dogs!!).Peace.

That answer is correct. He might have been a rapist, who knows. There are a lot of strange ones around. They all seem nice until you get alone with them.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM Queers as you call them by definition want nothing to do with women . So I fail to understand this unless its a cross the pond word I am taking out of context. Perhaps you will explain . Bill

The word queers in Australia means strang people not gays. We use it for gays too sometimes, but rarely.
