Search Results: get the courage

Excluding the cases of unrespectful asking, I think you should try to reject them respectfully.

What does it mean to reject them respectfully to me:
1. No harsh put downs/ spreading bad things on social media or in person
2. No short and vicious rejections, it can be really hurtful if someone stumped up all their courage to ask you out and you just cut them down instantly.

Optional
3. If you have a friend that is lonely or you think they would get along well together refering them to your friend in person would be a good idea ( don't give them your friends phone number that would be a bit weird).
4. Wing woman/ man this is seriously optional but if you feel there is a lack of respectful approachers in your area then perhaps being a wingman/ woman to them would increase their chances with someone else and this lower the amount of unrespectful approaches.
