How do you politely reject someone? Long story short, I was on the phone with my partner tonight and knock on wood. Everything's going great between us. But I brought up that there were a couple guys from my past who, you know, approached me to date and I rejected them. And the way I went about it was just straight up telling them I'm not interested and, you know, hoping they would get the hint. But even me saying that was not good enough, apparently. And it reached a point where I was like, hey, I really don't know how it could be much clearer about this. So now I want to know, how do you politely reject someone so that if you know if this ever came my way again that I could actually say it in a way that's understood the first time around.

Honestly like I had trouble today and I was like no I just don't think it's you I just don't think we're gonna be good together I just was like no no it is it's not it is it it's not so like yeah I just said citrus because he appreciated that

I think the easiest way to politely reject someone and just say that you're not interested in dating right now or I think would be better as friends that I was works for me anything where it's like you didn't you don't make it mean I guess but yeah

You say this hey I really appreciate this you seem like a nice person I'm just not interested that's it I'm just not interested I need to give them a reason the most polite way to say hey not interested have a nice day

You're not rejecting someone. You're declining an offer. Reframing is critical because the prospect of rejecting someone makes us feel bad, which is where this wishy-washy energy comes from, whereas the understanding that you're simply declining an offer makes it easy to say thank you, but no thank you, which is all that needs to be said. It's polite, respectful and most importantly it closes the door.

You can't politely reject someone you can only honestly or not and honestly rejects one by that I mean you make it clear is that alright I don't want to be with you but there's only three and then there's like I don't think we should do this right at the restless known as Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! you can only reject someone once after that if you're clear enough of the rejection and they still wanna push you there just obsessed and that's not your fault

I think it's just good to be honest, like obviously it depends on what the honest truth might be sometimes better to maybe if it's a harsh truth to hear then maybe better to keep it out but I think just trying to keep being as light as possible like I'm just not interested in you but I've Had a good time, but I don't see this going any further kind of But then again it's hard because some people might not be able to take that as a hint even effect.

Be careful who you talk to and speak to. That sound like the person was a stalker.

Simple and plain you could just tell them that you're not looking for a Long-term relationship with anyone right now and that you'd like to be friends with them instead You know you don't have to be rude harsh blunt just say how you feel but in a respectful manner

I definitely think just being straightforward. You don't owe people these deep and involved explanations Just letting them know you're not interested. You don't have to explain yourself I think it's polite to let them know that you're not interested because you're not leading them on I would if you feel compelled to Say I don't want to lead you on this is just not for me like I I think that's kind and polite too, because you're not wasting other people's time, you know?

So I am actually also dating someone and I have people for my past also hitting me up so some thing because they honestly don't get the hint when you're like her not interested whatever something that works for me it's just being straight up being like hey I'm seeing someone right now not interested and if they keep going at it be like hey I have a boyfriend I don't I don't wanna do nothing with you just
