Knowing how to reject a guy is never easy. There is no perfect way to turn down a guy, as each guy is different. But here’s a list of ways that would definitely help you get the point across, the nice way and the harsh way.
Do you know the right way to reject a guy nicely? Turning down a guy is easy if you’re feeling heartless on a particular day. But on every other day, for a good girl, rejecting a guy and turning down his advances is just as awkward as it is for the guy doing the asking out.
But by knowing how to navigate through the steps, you’ll always be able to speak your mind and let a guy down easily, without breaking his heart. At the end of the day, you do realize that it would have taken a lot of courage for the average guy to confess his affections for you.
So wanna know how to reject a guy and turn him down nicely? We have all the ways you can use right here.
# Tell him the truth
This is plain and simple. If a guy that you’re not particularly interested in asks you out, tell him straight out that you aren’t interested in him.
You don’t really have to be rude at first unless he’s persistent. You really don’t owe every guy who falls in love with you an explanation about why you’re uninterested in him, or why you want to reject him.
# Tell him you’d rather be friends instead
If you want to reject a guy, but are not sure you want to lose him because he’s been a great friend, tell him you don’t want to go out with him, but would love to be friends instead.
This is a wee bit selfish, and best used when you’re not sure yourself. Take a bit of time to figure it out, and depending upon how things go, you can always change your mind! You are stringing him along though, so you need to be careful not to lead him on accidentally.
# Make it clear
If the guy you rejected asks you to go out with him again, it’s time to be firm. You’ve already been gentle before. So this time, tell him clearly and firmly that there’s no way you could ever like him back. And also tell him that you’re starting to get annoyed with his behavior.
Many guys have an annoying habit of wanting to know the logical reason behind why you’re rejecting them. They want you to explain it, and even if you do, they try justifying it and want more explanations.
# Tell him you’ll need to avoid him for a while
If he’s a friend, this is a veiled threat that scares them into accepting your decision. When he persistently hints about dating or hooking up, tell him you’re starting to get annoyed with his behavior.
Tell him that you’ve started disliking him, and may have to avoid him, and the more he asks you out, you’ll only end up wanting to ghost him.
# Pretend to be saddened by his proposal
If a guy’s rather persistent, but yet, quite kind and nice, have a talk with him. Tell him that you’re getting upset and saddened by his persistence. Tell him you’re having a difficult time getting through the day because of his incessant proposals.
When you show your sensitive side to a nice guy, there’s a good chance he’ll back away even if he still wants to ask you out repeatedly.
