I can't believe his English is so pure that he can't understand NO.
Anyway I meant why din't you tell him "straight NO" in Russian. I thought you knew how to write it but you wanted "emphatically - but elegantly" NO.

...he asks me: What is your answer today?
According to your first post, he's been doing it for at least three years. He's very persistent and you're very patient :)

Should I slap his face next time he asks?
LOL It's totally up to you.

PS: Sorry if I was being mean.
