Thank you for your feedbacks. Ever since a month ago I been turning woman down. Some didn't handle my rejections too well and some didn't like me ignoring them. I'm trying to improve my rejections so they won't question it or get hurt.

You don’t owe someone a full on exclamation, but don’t be a sick/bitch about it either. You can just tell the truth that you’re not interested or have a girlfriend/boyfriend (if you do), whatever the case may be.

Do not kill someone’s confidence for your own sick pleasure. You could even help set them up with someone. At least they got straight to the point and didn’t play any games. They have a answer so that they can move on and find someone whose interested in them.

It’s absolutely fine to not be into someone. But there isn’t a need to be a ass, unless they won’t leave you alone after you made it absolutely clear you don’t want anything.

Yesss indeed! I always let people know how I feel and that I'm moving on. And that wish all good for them.

@thatkawaiiemogirly that’s the best way to do it. Unless someone’s done something wrong it’s not personal. Not everything is meant to be and it’s best for both people to have closure.

Not string them along so that you have someone if nothing else works out, be too scared to hurt their feelings but hurt them worse later down the road, and just waste your own time as well.

Some people it’s like a sick thrill they get rejecting someone. But they can’t handle it when someone rejects them.

The best way is to be open and honest! That way you can still maintain friendships too!

[TommyMountainFigure]

Thank you for MHO Scott.

[scott04sa22]

Your welcome

[Caroline91]

Best way for sure.

[TommyMountainFigure]

@Caroline91 Yep. It's the way I've always been.

‘I’m not interested in perusing whatever you think this is ‘

[scott04sa22]

Thank you 😊

[TheLovelyIntrovert]

I'm blunt. Not interested, sorry.

[AI Opinion]

Oh, the art of letting someone down easy! It’s all about honesty, wrapped in a little bow of kindness. Imagine you’re delivering a cocktail that’s a mix of truth serum and a comforting pat on the back. Start with something warm, like acknowledging their feelings or the courage it took to express interest. Then, glide into your truth: you're simply not in the same place right now, not looking for a relationship or dates. Add a dash of respect for their feelings, sprinkle with wishes for their happiness, and voila! You've mastered the gentle let-down. Remember, it’s like ripping off a band-aid; doing it quickly is kinder in the long run. Lovebombing them with kindness, yet firmness, is the way to go! 😉

It depends on the situation… and if the person approaches you or not.


It’s possible to indicate you’re lack of interest before any words are exchanged… Minimizing interaction, maintaining “safe” distance/personal space, offering polite attention but nothing that indicates the other person stands out to you any more than the pattern on a bit of wallpaper.


If time has passed and the person approaches with a declaration of interest it’s up to you to politely reject (eg, “I’m so flattered but I’m actually interested in someone else”... “Thanks so much, but I’m not ready to see anyone right now”… “That’s very sweet of you, but you know I’m married”…).

Just the way you said it, say it straight out. The thing is though I've tried this and I've had two different female coworkers who keep trying and basically argue with me about it, in a nice way but won't take no for an answer.
So I would say the more familiar someone is with you the less likely they'll respect your answer.

[scott04sa22]

If they want or try any short terms, I would also say no, too but don't tell them you want short-terms or things will get Sour quick and you might have to find a different job

[Goahead76]

No, never, I keep it very positive, and it just leads to some laughs, sort of teasing back and forth every few days.

[scott04sa22]

I'm surprise your coworker is chasing you. I normally don't have people chasing me or acting so desperate.

[Goahead76]

Eh, it's more teasing than anything. Its always along the lines of "we've got to find you a woman" and "no, no we dont..". Stuff like that. I wouldn't say it's desperate, though, but I mean if you into an office full of women and you're dressed well & reeking of masculinity, you smell good and you've got a sense of humor, you're going to get attention.

[Goahead76]

So this is my plan and my recommendation to any guy:

*Get yourself into a 100k+ job no matter what it takes. Make that your obsession.

*Understand the United States is on a downward trajectory. It's time to start making plans to get out. Pile up as much money as you can. My plan is to leave when my net worth reaches a million, which I'm not too far from.

*If this idea appeals to you a guy on YouTube called Nomad Capitalist is a great resource. Keep in mind your money will go a lot further in many countries, every dollar you take to Mexico for example is worth about 4.5-5, so taking 10k with you is almost like taking 50k.

*In the meantime I enjoy life, enjoy interacting with women but I don't get involved with any.

[Goahead76]

By the way if you're looking for that six figure job I can help you with that too if you ever wanted. I'll tell you how to fast track that idea.

"I'm sorry, I'm not really interested." Soft, but firm rejection. I say that, but in reality I mostly just avoid the girl. The rejection is for when it's a direct display of interest. Also "sorry, I'm married" has worked a few times. Only one drunk psycho tried to push past that.

[paledreams]

I shouldn't have voted I'm not interested - I usually say it by saying nothing - no flirt - no pickup line - I just kept on walking or I kept oblivious about "thanks for my purchase". 👀

[douride2]

I prefer the straight forward I'm sorry I'm not interested.

[LiamJHayden]

"I am not interested in any relationships and dates."

[Damaged00]

You stole my answer 😆 honest, straight to the point and no one will be offended

[Kelley1]

You are above my dating standards. Otherwise, you don't meet my dating standards and that is final.

[serious_miss419]

If you don’t want those things then don’t put yourself in those situations

[noohair]

I have blissful solitude and I don't want to give that up now.

[katrina890]

By being straightforward and saying I’m not interested in pursing things further

[jazzy34]

By telling them the truth.

[HawkPerception]

Exactly that. "Sorry. I'm not interested"

[thatkawaiiemogirly]

Yup I say that also I say that I feel like we aren't a match and that I wish the best in life. And I'm moving on meaning I don't want to talk to them in that kind of way anymore.

[HawkPerception]

Atta girl
