Is it rude if I block someone’s number after I’ve said I’m not interested?

[Anonymous]

When I’ve said to a guy I’m no longer interested anymore or if I went on a date with them and it didn’t go well, I always politely say I don’t want to date/not interested. I know it may hurt peoples feelings but it’s better to say than ignore someone.

However, I’ve had a lot of times where I will get nasty responses in which I’ve ended up having to block them. So usually I tend to say and then as soon as the message has been received I block the number. Is this a bad thing to do? It’s not meant to come off as rude but I just don’t want to get harassed or insulted for saying no

Well actually at beginning stage, they are entitled have farewell party. It's within there right. Also you are aligning with there needs so why would they fake staying friends. However leaving on a good note is reasonable. I believe saying your peace and departing us honorable and leaving no bitterness. So there actions is not rude as they don't 100% know you like that.

I mean... it's kind of rude, but it's also unavoidable result of something you're doing for a legit reason. The blocking is going to be rude and shitty to any respectful guys, but those guys aren't why you do the blocking.

I don't think it's rude at all. If you guys that you're not interested and they can't except that and harass you they are the ones being rude not you 💯
