Q: Im a 14 f. This boy just asked me out yesterday and i told him i'd give him an answer today.i really like him but i dont want to have a bf right now. well today he got hurt while he was working and had to go to the hospital... i dont want to make him feel worse by telling him i dont want to go out with him but.. i dont want a boyfriend. please help me on what i should say.
Technically, you can say something like...
"It's not you, it's me, I really don't feel ready for a relationship right now."
If you think he would be a good boyfriend and you want to go out with him when you DO want a boyfriend, you can continue by saying...
"We can still be very good friends and maybe we'll go out eventually."
That way, you don't have to feel obligated to go out with him.

There is no way to "reject" someone without making them feel bad, unless they don't care. Wait until he feels better to tell him if you wanna go out with him or not. (make up some excuse to not tell him yet)
Tell him that he should be worried more about himself that hes hurt, not about anything else. He might be ok with that, and might pick up a hint that you don't want to go out with him right now. Maybe you can explain when things are better.

If it's commitment you don't want.....well make sure you tell him that, maybe you can still be good friends with him, but not "go out" and maybe keep your options open for when you're ready, and maybe he could feel the same and agree.

Whatever you do, be honest with him about your feelings. Don't just lie to him because you don't want him to feel bad.

I hope this helps :)
