Just sounds like a way of letting them down gently to me :smile:
I only reject somebody for being nice if I thought they were being fake about it. I'm far more likely to reject somebody if they were really nice but I simply wasn't attracted to them. Simply saying somebody is "too nice" is a pussy excuse.

No I haven't. Nice is good.

There is a girl at my work who is just showing way too much interest in me and as such I am keeping my distance, whereas before that i was being good friends with her. Shes not my type of girl in the first place but any girl that just fires away at you like that just gets a rebound from me, since commitment and all that is a bit frightening :P. So i am rejecting her in an indirect way for being too 'nice' in a 'i wanna be your gf' way.


There is no such thing as being too nice is not entirely true. Some people are always nice, even if you are rude or crude to them, they keep apologizing etc and have no spine.
I'm more likely to turn down an arrogant girl.

While there is an element of truth here, it is most probably because the person is insecure. We shouldn't really get annoyed by this, but yes, it is a little irritating when people act like this. Probably says more about your level of "niceness" though.

nice can be annoying.
annoying can be nice.

And yes, apologising all the time or letting everybody else make the decision...that's usually an insecure thing and isn't just being way too nice to everyone.

Well there are other things. Like when you are pissed off or upset about something, or youre just whining or having a rant. And the person ALWAYS says overly nice things, and tries to talk positive, and reassures you about how perfect you are. It can get quite annoying too.

Damn, that sounds a bit like me RaulS. But I don't tell the people they're perfect...more like we're all just as screwed up as each other. :biggrin:

I'm usually the opposite in those situations. Like...I point and laugh and say "Ha ha, you have problems".

I'm not good at dealing with people .

Rejected them romantically, or it could mean just rejected getting to know them? If so can you explain why. I have, but can't explain why I am mean spirited in that way.

I've never rejected someone because they were ‘too nice’. That’s pathetic. Though I see where you’re coming from if it gets sickly sweet and it seems fake.

Yes. Met a super hot girl the other day who really liked me, but I didn't want to pull her because I knew it wouldn't go anywhere. She was just genuinely nice, I really liked her, and nice girls deserve to be treated with respect.

The next morning is a whole lot easier if you don't actually like them...

Well maybe I should say too soft. If they are for example, otherwise perfectly likeable, easy to get on with, but they are a bit soft.

Could you reject someone because you want more of a challenge , someone a bit tougher?

Yes. I know exactly what you mean. If you have a strong personality, it always seems annoying to be in a relationship with someone who will bend to your every whim.

there's nice and 'nice'. one girl was girl when i first started to get to know her, but she was too nice. it's hard to explain, she was girly girl, 'perfect' in a stereotypical way, but at the end of the day she didn't have that edge, she didn't have a bit of attitude, she was OVERLY 'sweet'. What a ****e description. oh well. :smile:

Yeahh, I guess. Like I once tried to tame a bad boy, but it didn't work. As long as you explain why you rejected the person, so you don't hurt them.

Yeah on the other hand, it's a bit embarrassing when you come across some really powerful woman , you end up worrying about feeling submissive.

Ha ha, I wouldn't know, I am a woman. I can understand that it might challenge your masculinity though.
