They\u2019re annoying, obnoxious,\u00a0 have the potential to ruin your night.. and of course induce a wicked case of blue balls. That\u2019s right, I\u2019m talking about\u00a0cock blocks, and they come in many forms. Some are crazy exes, some are siblings, some are friends or\u00a0friends of the person you\u2019re trying to hook up with. So how exactly do you tell a cock block to back off?\u00a0 It\u2019s not a simple task considering most cock blocks are people who are close to you\u2026<\/p>\n<p>So if the person threatening your mojo is a friend, then you have no other option but to approach them.\u00a0 It\u2019s a tough job but it\u2019s the right job.\u00a0 Often times friends don\u2019t realize what they\u2019re doing. With a little bit of your help, they can stop. For example, your buddy think he\u2019s messing around by cracking a joke about you having a small wee wee\u2026however what he\u2019s really doing is dropping your one night stand potential faster than BP\u2019s stock on earth day.\u00a0 If you let him know that his jokes are ruining your sex life then he\u2019ll most likely stop and also feel pretty bad too.<\/p>\n<p>When dealing with a\u00a0 sibling or family member, you\u2019ll need to handle the situation a little differently.\u00a0 Usually a deeper conversation will provide the right setting to discuss their affect on your social and love life. Remember, family is usually the most understanding people you have, so a simple explanation may be all it takes.\u00a0 If you happen to be dealing with an over-protective sibling, reassure them that you never put yourself in vulnerable situations.\u00a0 Provide them details such as how you carry pepper spray and also go out in crowds.\u00a0 If you can assure them that you\u2019re smart about your actions, they\u2019ll usually back off.\u00a0 It always helps to make them feel a little sorry for you too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen Bro, I know I\u2019m your sister\u00a0and you love me but I always go out with a large group of people who never leave each other by themselves.\u00a0 Plus, all the good guys out there who you would approve me seeing, are generally not looking to date a girl who carries a webcam on her necklace so that her brother can monitor her in real time\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the situation were you don\u2019t even know the cock blocker\u2026 which can make things a little more complicated. If it\u2019s a friend of your partners, insist that they approach them. Who knows how long the behavior will continue, and most of the time it\u2019s because the person doesn\u2019t realize they\u2019re getting in the middle of something. If it\u2019s some random a-hole at the bar who for some reason can\u2019t take the hint, then you have several options before you call them out.\u00a0 Make sure calling an unknown a-hole out at the bar is your last option because as we all know, a cock blocking a-hole will usually start a fight in attempt to solidify their status.<\/p>\n<p>Your first option is to try to move yourself and the person you\u2019re flirting with away from the cock blocker in action.\u00a0 A good way to initiate the move is by asking them if they want to grab a drink at the bar or go outside and get some fresh air.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also get the chance to move to a more private area which is always a good situation.<\/p>\n<p>Your other option is to point out to the girl or guy you\u2019re flirting with how big of an a-hole the cock blocker is acting.\u00a0 This will instantly disassociate yourself with the cock blocker\u2019s antics and also knock you up one spot above them in overall status.\u00a0 You can even begin to joke about how immature the cock blocker is acting and use it as a bonding experience.\u00a0 Just be careful that this unknown cock blocker doesn\u2019t end up being\u00a0the best friend of the girl\/guy\u00a0that you\u2019re talking to.\u00a0 That\u2019s usually when things tend to backfire.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/e8MkgGrGK-U?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Cameron Kirby<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/search\/photos\/angry-guy?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve all met them.
