How do I act like I'm no longer interested without being rude?

Question

This girl at work, I thought I was into but I ended up getting turned off. I'm not sure what her thoughts were about me but we would always smile and wave at each other randomly despite not knowing each other and I definitely showed that I was interested. But now I'm not. What are some ways to act like I am no longer interested without coming off as if I am pissed off or being rude?

Smiling and waving are ok to do if you aren't wanting to pursue someone. You'll need to do something that shows her you aren't planning on asking her out. Simply never bringing it up will do that just fine. I smile and wave to chicks I like but don't want to date. It's a friendly thing.

Honesty is best so don’t act just speak up in my opinion. Tell her that you there’s nothing wrong with her but in a nice way that you also aren’t feeling a stronger connection than you thought you would. You can also say that you felt like you were meant to meet each other but not to be more than friends or something. Actions and hinted actions can still be mislead and/or misread.

Maybe I'll just literally give her the cold shoulder instead of figuratively giving her the cold shoulder. I'll buy a pork shoulder, refrigerate it, and give it to her. Lol I love taking figures of speech and doing the literal versions of them 😂

Tell her I'm not interested? Even if we have never actually discussed being interested in each other?

Tell her how you feel after you’ve gotten her to open up about how she feels about you. Make sense? 😁

She probably won't open up. But if she does I'll keep that in mind. Thanks though

Plus, there's a good chance she's not into me, but now probably knows I'm into her. But in that case it's not much of a problem
