I've been to some Meetups where men have asked for my LINE contact. I know the event organizer and often go to their events, so although I do come up with some sort of excuse, I don't want to be blatantly rude (in case I run into them again, etc).
Any tips or a good phrase to decline a request in a way that's clear I'm not interested, but is polite enough?
"I'm sorry, I am only here to help my friends organize the event."
Please don't feel bad for not wanting to share your personal contact info.
Thank you!
Thank god you posted this in r/japanlife, because in no other place in the world has anyone ever been asked by anybody for their contact data and needed to politely decline. This totally needs a Japan-only solution.
Haha relax, I'm asking about dealing with Japanese men in Japan, you don't have to comment if it bothers you

People who are happy and doing well in their relationships don't tend to post asking for advice on an advice forum.
Well said. It's availability heuristics- this place tends to attract posts about issues, and from that information, OP infers that a majority of people have issues.
You don't deserve this shit from him at all. Whether or not he's been good to you, this side of him is real, and he's absolutely horrible for it. It's hard to think that there would be anyone else for you after a long term relationship or marriage, but there is. Coming to see that you deserve better takes courage, but I hope that you can see it. I'm sorry this happened to you. Don't let what he said to the girl make you feel like you're worthless. That's him.
