Don't beat around the bush, make up excuses, or reach for cliches ("it's not you, it's me")—just be honest about where you're at with this person. "It's hard, but letting a person know why you feel things won't work is usually the best move," Battle says.
Try saying to the flirter, "I don't want to sound mean, or rude, but I believe in being up-front and honest. I'm afraid I have to tell you, I'm not interested in going out with you. Sorry, but at least this way, we won't waste each other's time." If you genuinely like the person, you can then ask, "Are you ok?
Just be direct and polite! Try: “I really appreciate your interest and openness, but I'm not able to reciprocate it. I know it may be hard to hear, but I'm not interested in moving forward.”
You can say, “You're a great friend, but I'm not interested in you as a romantic or sexual partner.” If this is an acquaintance or someone you don't know too well, rather than a close friend, you can try something like, “I'm flattered that you like me, but I'm not interested in you in that way.”
How do you tell someone you're not attracted to them?
Say something like: “I really enjoy spending time with you but I don't feel attracted to you at this point. I'd like us to take some time to get to know each other to see if that changes. Are you willing to take things slow?”
Respect and accept their decision. Put yourself in their shoes: if you'd just rejected someone and they kept trying to ask you out you'd wonder why they didn't get the message the first time.
Be honest, but try not being harsh. Treat them like you would want to be treated if you were in their shoes. But don't sugar-coat anything you say either, being straightforward is essential. If you have been asked out by someone who you don't want to lead on, try to convert the plan into a scene with other friends.
Friendzone=lack of chemistry, usually sexual. Yes, men and women frequently encounter people they are not attracted to. They do not “zone” anyone, contrary to popular myth. No one is obliged to be attracted to you, just because you find them attractive.
How do I stop talking to someone without ghosting?
What to say: “I've so enjoyed getting to know you. Because I respect you so much, I'd rather be honest. I'm not feeling a romantic connection. I really like you and would even be interested in being friends, but would never want to send the wrong signals, so please tell me if that is something you are interested in.
Anger and frustration are other likely responses a guy might feel to you cutting him off. You're taking away his ability to contact you. This means he can't talk to you anymore. And he doesn't get a say in it all.
Standing or sitting with both feet pointed toward you means interest and connection. Pointing one foot out or away telegraphs disinterest and a desire to leave. Crossed legs when sitting usually means the person is closed off and unreceptive.
