Guy who I am not attracted to wants a relationship. How do I let him down gently?

[Radiate143]

A guy who I would otherwise be interested in terms of values and goals is interested 7n a serious relationship.

THE PROBLEM:

I know that I won't be sexually attracted to him and it will be very hard not to desire other guys.

What do I say? I would like to be concise, firm and final.

So I told the guy I don't feel tue same way and he implied that I'm already sleeping with someone. I feel I dodged a bullet.

don't. just tell him straight up and factually. don't sugar coat it cause that may make him think there's a chance.

Girl up and tell him how you feel. The longer it goes on the worse he'll take it.

[CubaPirate]

Well done 👏 👍

[Radiate143]

He implied I'm promiscuous because i said I don't feel the same way.

[CubaPirate]

I just can't deal with rejection so dont worry he's just not worth it

[Hermitess]

Just tell him you don’t feel a romantic connection

[Radiate143]

I did. He implied I'm banging guys. Then tried to convince me being with him is better than being alone. Then accepted I wasn't interested. I feel bad but I was not feeling him at all in that way. If there's one thing I can't do to a person is fake attraction to them and be with them out of pity or take advantage of them. I could never.

Tell him you just want to be friends

[Radiate143]

Well, I don't want to be friends with a guy who is romantically interested in me.

[WhitneySnow]

Doesn’t bother me, but ok. In that case just tell him straight up you’re not interested.

[Radiate143]

I did. He implied I'm sleeping around.

[WhitneySnow]

Fuck him. Just block him and move on.

[Radiate143]

I have.

[Wise4myage]

Just tell him the truth, and mention just being friends.

[LiamJHayden]

Just be honest.

[Radiate143]

I did he implied I was sleeping around. Then tried to suggest that since I was single it was better than being alone. I also saw he's a Jordan B Peterson fan.

Be as shallow as possible. That is about all you can handle.

[Radiate143]

You haven't the slightest clue about what I can handle. Anyway, doged a bullet. He was a "nice guy" not an actual gentleman.

[noohair]

You can't handle anything if you acn't handle the truth. The reality is that one person is the center of the world, not even you.

[Radiate143]

What are you even rambling on about?

[DrPepper12]

Great job!

[Old_Plastic_Crow]

Get a restraining order for stalking you.

[Radiate143]

He wasn't.

[Old_Plastic_Crow]

He'll understand that you aren't interested in him.
