Brother, sometimes good looking guys like us are going to attract female attention, sometimes even unwanted attention. If the female in question also sells drugs, that can make matters even worse.

You have to be firm. Let them know that "no" means "no"!

Also, speaking from personal experience, check your wallet. If an attractive woman is rubbing all over you and then takes off, you should definitely check your wallet. Probably should have mentioned that first.
