How to let a guy down easily on snapchat?

[MJas16]

I DON'T like to be rude at all but this guy is constantly sending me snapchats about going to the beach etc. Of course i find a way to let him down. I've never met him in person and he goes to a different school nearby. I thought that he would get the hint by my constant nicely put rejects when he asked me. At the end I gave up and stopPed answering his sc. He's a nice guy but he constantly wants to snapchat, hang out, etc and flirts with me and it makes me uncomfortable. I know it's rude of me to be this way but I'm not interested in him that way.. help?

I dont want to just block him because that's just really rude.

I dont want him as a friend either because maybe he'll think i am leading him on by the way it seems like he just invites me to places where I'll be half naked.

Just tell him straight up next time. Something like: "hey ____, I'm not really into you like that but we can just be friends." He'll probably be embarrassed and won't hit you up nearly as much or at all. He could get angry but either way he's not really going to keep flirting and requesting to hang out.

Or if you don't want to talk to him at all try something like "hey ____, I don't really feel comfortable chatting with you and stuff because I really like this other guy. Sorry" This would probably turn him away. He may feel a bit rejected but he will respect you for your kind and straightforward manner.

And if somehow he keeps it up, then he is the one being rude and feel free to ignore him entirely. Don't feel bad about it.

1. There are times especially when it's a girl on the receiving end, to learn to be blunt even if it means you sound rude.
2. There are ofcourse various ways of telling something bluntly w/o meaning to be rude
3. But again rude is a matter of perception. You may have been just straight to the point but the other person perceives it as rude - not your fault
4. Most times when someone is persistent and you try to be kind, it gets mistaken for 'leading on' - better be blunt and risk sounding rude :-)
5. The decision is yours :-)

Gah I am the absolute worst at these situations... I tend to just say some bullshit like I really just want him as a friend or ignore him all together..

Seriously its so awkward when a guy puts all this effort in and your just not into him lol

Best of luck to you, hopeful you get some better advice 😂

It's good that you're considering his feelings, but as you get older, you'll learn that unfortunately some guys just can't take the hint. If you've already tried to let him down, you may just have to end up telling him to stop or to block him. Some guys don't get it unless you're straight up with them.

dang right, it's hard for guys too. so much dating advice out there, makes it feel like it's all a game and we just need the right combo to unlock any girls heart, no matter how uninterested she is. sometimes it's just better for everyone to just speak the truth and move on

[MJas16]

Yeah I kind of figured that out so thats why i really wanted to be kind about it.

[pr3ttybr0wn]

ignore him. all he wants to do is fuck u anyway so why do u even care about his feelings? u don't have to please everyone who hits u up on the internet. he's a creep and weird just block him

Tell him you're not interested in him. Or tell him you don't like how he is always snap chatting you. Let him know. It's not rude. If a friend of mine is annoying me in some way, I'm going to let him know

[heavymetalbrotha]

to be blunt its just a means to an end really i think he just wants in your pants so make it clear that's a dead end for em.

If all he ever asks is to go to the beach, and you're always turning him down, how do you expect to be "just friends" with him... friends DO hangout, even if it's at just one place

[MJas16]

I understand what you mean but I don't want him as a friend.

So you're proving that guys and girls can't be "just friends"?

[Dcosse]

All she's saying is that she doesn't want this particular guy to be her friend. The guy hits her up constantly, while she shows no interest. That's not someone you'd like as a friend.

Which proves that guys and girls can't be "just friends"... she's not attracted to him, therefore, can't be friends with him... it's a classic "nice way" of saying, too bad sucker
