Elle, a suggestion.....when someone asks me a personal question that I don't want to answer, I say "why are you asking?" You could say to him "why are you touching/getting into my purse?" Put it back on him. You are NOT responsible for how looking foolish will cause him to feel.....AND if he comes back with some inane explanation say "you could be right" and walk away. Leaving him to figure out if you agreed or put him down. A priest told me that years ago when my then mother-in-law didn't observe my boundaries about anything, anywhere, anyhow! It works! I've used it for about 40 years. Good luck with the witless fool!
