How to reject someone?

[Anonymous]

A boy from my tution proposed to me on instagram. My best friend had already told me that the boy likes me. I didn't give him attention. Its my nature to answer everyone. So when he asked me ques on insta , I just replied to him. Then he said that he loves me. I told him that I don't want to be in a relationship. I even told him the reason that it is because I can't break my parents trust. I called him brother. But he doesn't get it that I dont like him. Now too he messaged me again. I don't want to hurt anyone so I told him politely but now its irritating me. What should I do now?

What you told him leaves room for him to hope, which is what he's doing. You need to be a little more direct, but you can't still be nice about it. He needs to know that you're not interested in him specifically. Say "I'm flattered you asked me, but I'm sorry, I'm not interested in a relationship with you." If it still continues after that, you might have to tell him he's bordering on harassment, and he needs to leave you alone, but I don't think it'll come to that. He just needs to know that you aren't interested in him specifically. But you can still be nice about it. Rejection is always going to hurt, but being open, direct and honest helps.

Sometimes you have to be blunt. And no one that young will be able to "love" anyone. You don't understand what love is. He'll get over it. Just drop him.

you got proposed to (engaged) through direct message on instagram? lmao what? you clearly ARE under 18.. maybe you shouldn't have instagram.

Instagram is for talking to old school friends and tution friends. I don't wanna use it but it is the only way to stay connected to friends.

Tell him that your answer is final, you aren’t going to date him. Then ignore future messages.

What exactly did you say to him?

[Asker]

I told him that I can't be a reltionship.

[spartan55]

That's not specific enough. You need to direct the message at him. What you said is not a firm rejection.

Tell them you only date black guys 🙄 or come up with any lame excuses.

I don't date guys with certain color hair

I don't think fat asses

I only date husky guys

You can fake that you have a boyfriend already. That works.

Blick him if he won’t respect your wishes
