How do I let someone down without embarrassing him or ruining our friendship? I know this guy at work and it is pretty obvious that he likes me and it is really awkward for me. He basically asked me out last night and I didn't really say anything, I was kind of like yeah maybe. I didn't really respond because I didn't know how. He is really nice and everything but he is too much older than me for my comfort level and to put it basically he is not my type. How do I give him the sign I don't want to go out with him without blatantly insulting him?
I think its sweet using the line will you go out with me its the 5th grade nostalgia all over again. First off all is he your supervisor? Also there no need to let someone down, when all you have to do is just shoot down all of his advances or possibly have a gay or straight friend pick you up and pretend you have a boyfriend, or in a few weeks you can start wearing an engagement ring, but this is like diffusing a class IV WMD. With all these feelings flying around someone is bound to get hit by some shrapnel.
First off the way to let him know that you don't like him more than a friend is simply saying you're a good friend of mine. Use the friend in some of your conversations with him and in time he will realize that you see him only as a friend.
Now he asked you out and you said maybe. Well why don't you do this: Say I already made plans with my other friends, but if you want to join us, you could. You want to come?
If you want you can tell him that you got some cute girl friends that you may like.
I don't know of any way to let anyone down easily. What I do know is that the longer you wait the worse it will be to have this man think that he's still in you sights. From what I have experienced in break ups is that it is better to get let down face to face instead of in a text message, email, voice mail or any other way in which there is no actual interaction. When you do this be sure that it is straight to the point and short. Less than 10 minutes is good. Never say, "but we can stay friends" because us guys know that's not true or will being thinking later on, "what did she mean by that" and then we become obsessed with our EX's wanting to be friends with us afterwards. Oh and if you have anything of his be sure to return it the same day you break up with him. If he has anything of yours that is not replaceable then tell him to have someone else drop it off to you at a place where you can pick it up. NEVER have him or someone else return the items at the place you live.
If you receive phone calls from this guy after the break up, do not answer, do not listen to the messages, just delete them. Remember you are breaking up with the guy for a reason.
