I'd feel pretty awkward in the moment, but overall I wouldn't really care.
I'd only feel bad if I felt like I had accidentally led her on, and it was my fault she even broached the subject.
If she just randomly confesses or asks me out, I wouldn't think anything of saying that I'm not interest. I might try to encourage her, and say she'll find some better suited for her, but that'd just be to pad the rejection - I wouldn't really care whether it worked.
I think, as a guy, a clean rejection feels best. You don't feel mocked or patronized; just a little embarrassed and disappointed.

I have not had many women take the initiative to express interest in me so I have had very few opportunities to either accept or reject a woman's advances. I have broken up with a few women when I felt that our relationship was not working and I always felt very badly for the women. However, I did not offer to remain friends because I think that is counterproductive to people moving forward with their lives; my refusal to be friends was not intended as a punishment.
I think they feel same emotion of pain, guilt as we do

No, why should I? Rejection is a part of life. The sooner you get used to that the sooner you can learn from it rather than feel sorry for yourself and blame the other person for not feeling the same way.
Guys are allowed to choose who they date too you know. It's much better they reject you then date you out of pity.I didn't feel bad, I moved on. I did think about her later and other times and sometimes I regret it and think..."why didn't I give her a chance"? You have to realize it isn't necessarily you that is the issue.
i feel bad about it, but most girls know that im a gay guy before trying to ask me out. still, i can't help but feel a little guilty about it when it does happen. if it was a friend, of course i want to still be friends with her :)
I never feel guilty because I make it a huge point I want them as friends and that usually lets them down the best because they have hope I migh fall in love with them and I know they will slowly move on plus I make a more friends
I feel like this song playing in my head
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M_5oYU-IsUI feel guilty and at the same time awkward, because I dont want to do or say things that she might interpret as me playing with her feelings or sending mixed signals
if i dont have feelings for them I exsplain it to them so I have done this before with a female friend she was in a bad relationship an getting out an i dint feel she was ready for a relationship till she healed or I would of told her let's date
Head-shaking. The situations have always been where I was told that she wasn't interested, so I moved on. Then she comes back months later, thinking she can just pick me up from where she dropped me.
I moved on.I felt torn tge last time i rejected a woman. On the one hand it was the right decision and on the other, i did like her and would have dated her if not for the fact we disagreed on having kids and that is not something that can be compromised on.
I feel good because I made the right decision, she won't be hurt because of me in the future because of incompatibility, and I'd have a good reason to reject her
Never once cared. There is no reason at all to feel guilty of you handled the rejecting nicely.
Why should I feel bad for that?
No feelings back is no feelings.
Sure. It's up to her if it is possible to still be just friends.Usually if I reject a girl it's because my gut telling me that or they have showed me a motive and I can't put nothing pass them, so no.
With the amount of times I've been rejected, I give no fucks anymore
Well from few days I feel my friend has feelings for me but I don't have and I m scared to reject her as she may get hurt but also can't hide from her , feeling very sad not guilty
Kinda bad for her, because rejection sucks. But it is what it is. Rather ripoff the patch quickly.
A stranger? Idc
A girl I kind of know, idc
A friend? I'll try not to hurt her feelings but ultimately don't care.Since women reject men easily 500 times more than men reject women, how about you tell us?
I don't care when I reject a fat chick. I feel like she should know better.
I do but then i remind myself i get rejected about 100 times to everytime i reject and she never feels bad for me. So my answer is yes i feel bad but i get over it.
