Just curious...
How did you reject them.Was it a simple "No" face to face or was it very sad and emotional?

Only not encouraged on a couple of occasions when I sensed interest and wasn't up for it. I've always though that attractive girls must get to PhD level in this skill very quickly.

Emotional because I'm so bad at it, second hand embarrassment and only when they made it adamantly clear - just said I wasnt looking for a relationship and they agreed to be friends and then disappeared after a while :biggrin:

Yes, friends doesn't really work if you fancy the pants off someone.

I have, there's been the serious ones and the calm ones, the emotional ones and flat out-right "No" ones. Most often than not I reject and friend zone them bc I mean I'd rather a friendship than a relationship any day. People usually value friends than partners bc usually long lasting but my opinion.

Seems like a good idea at the time, also because fancying someone has a friendship component, but subsequently you realise it pretty humiliating and unsatisfactory.

Yes I've rejected someone face to face and over text before. Its not nice and are you want to be as gentle as possible but still firm enough so that they definitely know where they stand and that they shouldn't try and hold onto you any more and that they have to move on.

I've been rejected more than I've rejected people though.

*In a sweet quiet voice* "No, I'm sorry." I'm really shy and timid so I don't put that voice on :lol:

I think it makes the rejection come across a little less rude

Yes, but there were other things that made me feel incompatible with the person so I was able to avoid mentioning lack of physical attraction. Not for fear of being honest, but being rejected is enough of a self-esteem hit.
