A really sweet/nice person confesses to you, however, you're not interested. How do you turn them down?

Well I wouldn't say the people I like are out of my league, but it always seems I fall for the people who have zero interest in me. And then the people I feel nothing for, fall for me. Rather sad really, but I can't just make myself fall in love with someone, and the same can be said about those who aren't interested in me either.

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.

Why would you turn them down? Sometimes people don't know what's good for them until it happens, so at least give them a chance

I've had this happen already. It was harsh for me because I kind of left it open and in the air rather then telling them bluntly that I'm uninterested, and after that she really didn't talk to me all that much anymore, and when we did converse it was extremely awkward. Not commonly dealing with a situation like this I was unsure how to handle it.

I'd wager being more straightforward would've been miles better.

I'd probably just say; "No" and resume whatever it is that I was doing. It's rude to play around with others emotions.

Just say you're not interested. No matter what you say, don't be surprised if they stop talking to you for a while. If they confess to you, they are not interested in staying just friends any more.

Date them, introduce them to your parents, marry them, go on a honeymoon, have three kids, raise them to adulthood, then whisper softly into your spouse's ear:
'I never loved you'.

You don't.
(you did say she was a sweet/nice person)
For a the kind of losers that waste time on this site, you won't likely get another opportunity like that.

Or if you're really determined to get rid of her, give her a link to your MAL profile so she can see what a loser you are - that'll scare her away.

If people are falling for you, you're already in a good position.

i bet girls would be super stoked with all the sexual loli shit coming from your profile
At no point have I sexualized lolis. I prefer my lolis cute and innocent.

Anyway, you've just proven my point: just having a MAL profile can give someone the wrong impression.

Just be blunt and honest, don't lead her on or give her the wrong idea. If she still wants to be friends then fine, if she wants to break things off completely though you need to let her go.

How much social awareness do they have? Can they pick up on subtle signals?

If they can, then be gentle with them. If they can't, then be harsh.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.

For some reason, hearing you say "I love you"...

because little anime girls with camel toes are not not sexualized at all.
Only if you want them to be.
I just dumped a whole load of random clothed neko girl pics (I don't even have nudes in my Dropbox) - you're the perv for looking for looking at them in a sexualized way.

I'm not one to discard good, cute pictures because the clothing is a little tight.
It's not like I have, nor post anything inherently sexual. (e.g. nude girls covered in cum)
Even "little anime girls with camel toes" can be innocent if you don't look at them with lust.

I didn't post the pictures with the intent of subjecting them to suggestive remarks above them, but merely because they were relevant.
If I intended for them to be sexualized, I would've posted from the "explicit" section of Sankaku instead of from my own collection.
I guess I'm partly responsible for not expecting people to look at them through a lewd filter and explicitly separating the two sections of my comment. (which was never meant to be taken seriously) [If you read my previous post, it was pretty obvious I was just messing around in that thread]

The thing that makes lolis so irresistibly cute is their innocent charm - sexualizing them lays waste to that and they'd lose their appeal.

But feel free to take it the wrong way, I don't care. It's your mind that's corrupted, not mine.
It yet again proves my point of how easy is is for someone to see stuff on this site from the other side of the line and get the wrong impression.

I'd turn them down as nicely as possible. Brutal and frank rejections can be traumatizing; it's something that can stay with a person for a lifetime. There are ways to be honest without being an asshole.

Well I've only ever had 2 people "fall" for me before, and one of them was incredibly dubious, so I can't even be sure if did like me or not, or if he was just horny as hell (very likely the latter).

As for the other one, I would have accepted his confession in a heartbeat, if he wasn't such a mess when it came to alcohol. Granted, I'm not perfect and I'm a total screw-up in more ways than one, but someone who gets drunk to the point of passing out nearly every single day is still a complete turn-off for me, no matter who it is. Even if he was some kind of other-wordly Adonis, I still wouldn't have touched him if he was the last bloke on Earth.

still probably not as big a perv as the person that drew them.

but there's no need for all the mental gymnastics to justify the pics or turn this on me, champ. i don't really care as long as it's cartoons, i'm only subtly calling you a hypocrite for calling other people losers who's mal accounts would turn people off.

in the future you should be more careful before you post stupid shit, especially when it's about other mal users.
I never denied that my own MAL account would turn people off. That statement is not meant to single out any one person. It applies to all MAL users - myself included.
MAL is the darkness within us that we must hide from society in order to maintain a normal appearance.

Problem: Need to get rid of a boy/girl who wants to date you?
Solution: Show them your MAL.
Although the first point I made before that is to first re-evaluate whether it is a problem in the first place as chances like that don't come by often for everyone - especially the stereotypical introverted internet otaku that waste away their lives on MAL.

This actually happened with my best friend at the time. She liked me for two years and it came down to that point. Unfortunately there's really no *good* outcome, because you can tell yourself that you will still be friends and at the end of the day, things will just be different between you two.

You can say it in a good way, but sometimes things go south. Just gotta hope for the best after that.
