A really sweet/nice person confesses to you, however, you're not interested. How do you turn them down?
| A question I've pondered quite a bit lately. Because reasons. Do you be blunt, or do you maybe dull down the truth with a bit of a lie? I think I'd tell them the truth about how I'm not interested, but I'd be as kind as I can. Probably say something like: "I'm honestly really flattered, and your feelings make me kinda happy. You seem like a really sweet girl, but I don't really want to be your boyfriend. I'm sorry. I can give you a hug though!" If you're already taken, in this hypothetical situation, pretend that you're single. |
 |
| Pull them aside and set it straight that you aren't interested in them. Above all, it's likely they're looking for a truthful response, and often times the truth hurts |
| I'd probably go to the phrase "Sorry, you're not my type..." Perhaps followed up by a "We just don't seem that compatible" It might be a bit harsh, but it's also honest, and in the best case scenario they'll realize that it's not something they've done, but simply a difference in taste. Thankfully, I don't get hit on much... but I always think about what I'd say to a skinny girl, seeing as how I'm strictly into large women. |

| In most cases I would try to just be honest with them and tell them I'm not interested as nicely as I could. I think honesty is important and its always best if the person can handle it. |
| You're mean OP. Why would you force us to turn down a really sweet/nice person? Why do you do this to us?? Serious Answer: Maybe I'll say "Sorry but I'm not looking to date anyone right now." |
| Get them high. (Because that's what she's really intents in the first place) Probably i will say this. "Ohh honey, you're so kind. I love the side of you that always being care about others and all. There's no one like you in this world" |

| Just tell the person you are not interest to be with. If you are not honest with yourself it will not only hurt the person but yourself at the same time. |

nopainnolife said: Get them high. This. Or buy them a beer. Something that friends do together and whatnot. If they're sweet/nice, then you totally shouldn't mind spending time with them, even if you're not interested in them. Just make sure it's not confused as a date or something. |

| Be honest and/or tell them you aren't looking for a relationship right now. |
 |
| Pretty much the same as OP. However, I feel so bad when I reject people since I don't want them to get hurt :c |
| Straight out tell them I'm not interested. |
| Go out with them, have sex with them. String them along endlessly until you find someone you like more. Ponder the piece of shit human being you have become. |

| "To tell you the truth... I like you too. Whenever I think about you, I always thought of your smile... Your smile has always been filled with kindness... Your smile has always been filled with warmth... Even in my darkest hours, thinking about you seemed like you were the only glimmer in my life... When I had no one else to talk to, you would always be right beside me... When I had no shoulder to cry on, you would always hug me... We would always talk about pointless things, ...but even those things somehow seems to make me happy. That's why this is hard for me... For some reason, hearing you say "I love you"... ...felt like they were the most painful words I've heard from you. You're the strongest glimmer in my life... ...but I just can't help but think I don't deserve you. I simply just don't deserve someone as kind as you. I'm sorry..." Too much? |
| Don't beat around the bush and make them think they still have a chance. Just bluntly say "I'm sorry, but I just can't see you in that way." Putting a time from on it (ie "I'm not ready for a relationship right now") just makes them think if they hang on for awhile the chance will arise later, and it rarely ever does. There is no one real way to reject someone, you just have to be honest about what you feel for them individually and not some rehearsed thing you read online. |

| Be blunt. I'd rather not lead them on. |
 |
| "Not interested." |
| Simply just turn them down. |
 |
| I'd just be politely honest, I had to do this once before. Now I just constantly ask myself why I always turn down the ones that are actually interested... |
 |
| straight out |
| If she is sweat and nice I would probably be interested |
| Tell her that you're not interested in a relationship and you'd rather be friends with her. |

| I also want to know. Just friendzone them maybe? I mean (s)he is a sweet/nice person so you don't mind become a friend with them, right? |

| Tell them straight make no mistakes or cause any confusion. |

| FRIEND ZOOOOOOOONE |
| "Sorry, but I'm not interested". More often than not, brutal honesty is the best way to go. |
 |
| Based on recent history, I wouldn't turn them down but instead agree to go out with them despite not liking them that much. Then after a few months when I confess I never really liked them that much anyway I realize that maybe I shouldn't have dragged this out for so long just because I didn't want to hurt their feelings at the start but then I realize dragging things out for so long actually hurt them more than if I had just turned them down at the start and I'm actually a piece of shit for doing that to them So before any of that happens just tell them you don't feel the same way about them. |
 |
| You tell them you're not interested just like any other person whom you don't have an interest in. |
 |
| "I'm not interested in any relationships at this time. But if you can settle for just being friends, that would be good." |
| Laugh out loud. Seriously. Act crazy. You'll scare them away. |
Haruhi ism  It's fun, isn't it? |
| "I'm flattered, but I just don't feel the same way. It won'twork out. I understand if you want to cut contact but I'd keep our friendship". |

| Normally, I tend to avoid that crap before it happens but if it ever does happen to me, there only one option. Run! |
 |
| Ah um, Sorry, I'm not interested . . .you're a nice person and I'm sure you will find someone someday ^^ |
"Fuck this shit, fun things are fun!" |
| I'd tell the girl I didn't think I'd like being with her but if I liked her looks I'd probably offer to be friends with benefits. Honestly don't think I've ever met any girl (or guy for that matter) that I'd like to spend my life with. Unless I find pretty much a female clone of myself I'll probably just end up in situations like that until the end of my days. *sigh* |
 |
| Ew, it's hard. I would try give a sweet speech meaning "I don't want you". :( |
| Today they say you're crazy, tomorrow they will say you're a genious. |
| "I love you but I have AIDS" Just tell them you don't like them that way. |
| "Not interested." |
