Nice Way To Say No


Question Posted Saturday November 4 2006, 8:43 pm

Theres this guy that I think likes me, but I don't like him that way. What should I do if he asks me out or something? I don't want to hurt him (emotionally) because he is a nice guy, but I also don't want to be caught off guard and end up saying yes because I can't think of a nice way to say no.

There is no way to tell someone no without them feeling slightly hurt and rejected. So, with that in mind...try to tell him that you just don't think of him in that way, and not because he's not attractive or anything, you just have your eyes set on someone else right now. That last part kind of eases the feeling of un-attractiveness.

REally hope I helped.

if he does ask you out, just tell him you like him better as a friend. simple as that. usually if a girl goes into more depth with trying to be nice, it ends up hurting the guy even worse, than just a simple rejection.

just be nice about whatever it is that you decide to say :]

If he asks you out, I would suggest trying to break it to him lightly. Rejection is a part of life that nobody can avoid and pity dating can end up badly. Tell him that you think he's cool and everything, but add that you don't feel like getting into a relationship.

It depends on why you don't like him but you have many options. You could say you aren't ready for a relationship, you are having family/school/work problems, you are scared of losing your friendship. Make sure it's honest.

I suggest not telling him, if this is the case, that you are interested in someone else.

Perhaps say you don't know him well enough.

If this hasn't helped, you can leave a message in my inbox and I will reply right away as long as you provide more information as to why you don't like him.

Good luck, stay true to how to feel
