It's only rude if you are rude about it. If you scream at them that they are ugly and that you don't like them and tell them to fuck off, yes that is rude.
But if you are polite and sincere about it, and calm and tell him sorry, I know you like me but you are just not my type, I hope you'll be ok. And thanks for understanding. That's how you should let someone down.
But if they are rude to you then yea go ahead and and tell them to fuck off.
You warn that if he doesn't stop, you will complain to the police. If he doesn't stop, you complain to the police. This is persecution and if it gets aggressive it is violence, even if it is psychological. You weren't even obliged to give him any satisfaction as to why you don't want a relationship with him
Honesty upfront is the best way to avoid issues. I don't think it'd be rude if you told it like it was. You don't necessarily have to explain yourself either. He can accept the fact you rejected him. If not, block him and tell him you must leave me alone.
I don't think it's rude at all. There's people out there who I think are fantastic individuals and attractive but I would never date them because we have completely different personalities and life aspirations.
Just because someone's nice and good looking doesn't mean you want to date them.
Well I'd be honest as it'll help them move on faster, I don't wanna give anyone false hope. Similarly I'd rather be told the truth if I'm being rejected.
As for that dude, it's better you told him the truth cause you now he showed you his true self, arrogant, egoistic and entitled. Just ignore him, he's not worth the time.
Don't change anything. You don't HAVE TO deal with him, you ignore him. In the future, if someone "demands" to know why you don't want them, you can say
A) "for this exact reason - you're too demanding, and you think you're entitled to know more than I've told you. OR
B) I don't want to date you should be enough for a gentleman, so are you, or not?
C) You don't have that " Je Ne Sais Quoi", or that "certain something special" for me."
No, it is not offensive nor wrong. This guy has issues. Try to ensure your safety, if things get worse, call the police. This guy shouldn't know your whereabouts because he is clearly mentally unstable in a bad way.
This type of person will not stop until you have sex with him he knows this he's done it before so you either have to tell him to get the f*** out and leave you the hell alone that you don't want to talk to him anymore be rude as hell to him or have sex with him one the only way it's all they know
There's no way to deal with them. Mostly they are angry at themselves but it's easier to blame others so they blame you. There have been times when I have gotten angry too and I still regret the time I had spent with a lot of people but I now know that being angry isn't going to do any good so I just try to remember the good stuff and leave the bad. Let go of the bad people. They aren't worth it.
You hurt his ego by rejecting him. It’s not your problem. Would he rather you pretend to like him and you use him for things. Thus the exact kind of person you guy you don’t need in your life. Good for you!
Most of the time I have to reject a suitor, it's because I'm already taken. However, despite discouraging some of them, a few are so persistent. I usually add "... besides, you're not my type!" which is true but unfortunately kinda hurtful to say.
No, as long as you don't make them feel bad or inferior towards your time or attention for not being your type. Sadly, too many people lack tact and respect nowadays, when it comes to this sort of thing.
well if someone is very insisting n won't leave u alone i dont think then u have a choice other than telling them they are not ur type
but otherwise if i have to say no i usually try to use soft words n all
Well the only thing you can do is be honest about how you feel and say it in a nice way and you’ve done your part. If he acts out then that’s his problem.
Many assume just because you are dating someone doesn't mean you are not available. The relationship could be casual, non-mono, poly, etc. The easiest answer to me is just say not interested or not compatible.
just be straight with him and tell him he wouldn't be the type of guy you're interested in. When he asks for examples, tell him how he lost his shit the moment you said you wouldn't be interested in him. It shows that he doesn't care about your feelings, and only values HIS feelings. That's beyond selfish and not a trait you are looking for in a mate. :D
no. i would appreciate it if a girl told me I was not her type rather than dating me and wasting my time just to reveal it months later I am not her type
I think it is definitely rude to just assume that they aren't your type, but at the same time you got to be 100 real with people. So your not wasting each others time.
no, it isn't rude, it is a type of friendzone so it might crush them but they should be able to get over it.
I think its more than fine to tell them theyre not your type as long as you do so respectfully. Its all about delivery. But yea that dude was an ass
