4. Stick To Your Guns

As nice as you think you were when rejecting someone, they may not want to hear it. You’ll have to prepare yourself just in case the other person gets upset, is insulted or simply goes off on you. But don’t let it get to you. Just smile and take their questions, disappointment – or sometimes, anger – in stride. Always maintain eye contact and stick to your guns. Don’t let them sucker you into thinking you made a mistake by rejecting them. If they ask you why you aren’t attracted to them, don’t make up something like, “I have a boyfriend,” just to get them off your back. Please don’t say, “Let’s just be friends” if you don’t mean it. Just reiterate that you’re flattered but you don’t see a possible relationship. If they don’t get it, then say thanks and keep it movin’…and maybe get a restraining order.
