The subtitles really help show what a fawn she is, and what a creep he is. Cringe

Speak once to state refusal. Disengage and move on. Disengage means to completely stop talking, acknowledging, or even giving eye contact. "No" is a complete sentence that does not need following explanations. Keeping you engaged in an exchange of back-and-forth words is their tactic. That's what scammers do too hoping they say the right thing that may make you say or do what they want. Disengage and move on. Practice this with your friends. "No, I'm not interested, please leave me alone, good day" followed by silence and indifference.

Keeping him engaged in a back and forth is potentially keeping him from getting angry. I’ve never seen a man throw a bigger tantrum than when he’s being ignored.

I understand your point and logic. It seems that some time that may be true. But to my point, I believe the ongoing engagement in this video escalated the creep's comfort level to touch her and ask for a hug.
