You may have just come out of a stormy relationship and you need to get your life back on track at the interim before delving into another relationship. However, there may be this new guy you met at a social gathering and got friendly with without any strings attached. It doesn’t matter what the circumstances are, but there’s a good chance that you may have come across a guy that wants to go out with you. If you don’t like him or just not ready for another relationship at the moment but he is persistent, here’s a few tips on how to nicely tell him no.
Some guys may be understanding enough to back away when you tell them you aren’t interested. But some guys may feel you are simply playing the hard to get and may need a firmer response to get the message across.
1. Be simple and truthful
If a guy that you’re not interested in asks you out, don’t hesitate or meander, that may send a wrong signal to him. Tell him straight up that you aren’t interested in him. You really don’t have to be rude in telling him that.
2. Tell him you’ll rather be a friend than lover
If you want to reject a guy, but not sure you want to lose him completely acquaintance, tell him you don’t want to go out with him right now, but would love to be friends instead. This is approach is best used when you’re not sure yourself. Take a bit of time to figure it out, you can always change your mind depending on the outcome of your friendship with him.
3. Make it clear and firm
You can chose to be firm if the guy you rejected and don’t even want as a friend, asks you to go out with him again. You’ve already been gentle the first time. So this time, tell him firmly that there’s no way you could want to have a serious relationship with. Most guys have an irritating pattern of wanting to know the reason behind why you’re rejecting them. They want you to explain it in details. The truth is, you don’t even owe any man logical explanation on why you are rejecting them. That is a bit absurd! So instead of getting yourself in a bind, just make your rejection clear and don’t go into intricate details. You never can tell what he may use as a weapon against you later if you reveal all to him.
4. Tell him you’ll dislike him
When he obstinately tries to get you to date him even after all you’ve done to tell him off, tell him you’re starting to get annoyed with his persistent behavior. Tell him that you’ve started disliking him, and the more he asks you out, you’ll only end up hating him. Most guys are afraid of this one and may back off immediately.
5. Pretend to be saddened by his proposal
If a guy’s rather persistent, but yet, quite kind and nice, have a talk with him. Tell him that you’re getting distraught by his persistence. Tell him you’re having a difficult time getting through the day because of his ceaseless proposals.
When you show your sensitive side to a nice guy, there’s a good chance he’ll back away.
6. Avoid the guy
If all of the earlier approach proved abortive, then you may need to take a firmer approach. Now some guys may be nice, but their persistence can be really exasperating. Avoid the guy, and make it apparent that you’re avoiding him.
7. Don’t speak to him alone
Guys are thrilled when the girl they like has a conversation with them alone. They find it pleasurable and it shows superior treatment over other guys. So avoid giving away any signs that could be taken positively. Avoid the guy, and even if he tells you that he wants to speak with you alone, don’t give him a chance.
8. Cut him off from your social circle
Tell him that you’re going to take him off your friends’ lists in social networking sites if he doesn’t stop bothering you. Make it known to him that you’re going to avoid him if you meet him and won’t pick his calls anymore. He may let you be.
9. Ignore him
The final frontier that will always work. If you’ve tried all of the above points, then this should be your last resort. Unfriend him on Facebook and other social networking sites, ignore him completely. Walk past him, and don’t even bother wave or even look at him.
However, avoid being completely rude if he confronts you, this may only make him pursue you more and may even cause him to become violent. Speak to him like he’s a five year old. Explain to him nicely that you’ve already told him what he has to do. Both of you can be friends only if he promises to look at you as a friend. And then tell him you’re sorry, but you really can’t talk anymore and walk away.
