How do you nicely reject a guy ?

Honestly, someone please teach me. Especially if you're a guy.

Because I just rejected a guy and I have no idea if I did it nicely or not. I think I did.

OK, here's the story.

2 weeks ago, this guy in my social dance class asked me, "I would really like to get to know you better. Can I have your number?"
And being very flattered, I did- duh. Anyway I couldn't say no, right?

He called me that very same weekend but I had other plans.

Two weeks passed, and by then, I had already thought through about it, and came to the conclusion that I DID NOT WANT TO GO OUT WITH HIM. (I think I like Ben a bit too much... :p). Like, you have to pay me to go out with him (addendum after reading Clarissa's remarks). That was how much I did NOT want to go out with him.

I went for my dance class and when it was my turn to dance with him, he asked me, "So are you free this weekend?"

AWKWARD.

To make the situation worse, this conversation hapened when we were dancing the "Sweethaeart" step in the cha-cha. Urgh!

Luckily I was going to Idaho this weekend (yipee!) so I had a conveniant excuse. But he persisited and asked me if I would be free on Monday, to which I desperately said, "Family Home Evening!"

And then he asked me, "So when are you free then?"

To which I replied, "Err... let me see. I'm not free this weekend or next weekend... actually I won't be free for the entire SEMESTER."

Ouch!

Did I do it right?


My room-mate says I did the right thing. Clarissa said I did it all wrong.

What do you think?

NOPE!! wrong answer babe! tat was mean! and im not joking. cos like i mean if he kept asking u it means he really liked u. and u really shld have just gone on a date with him. ya know. keep ur options open. i know u like ben but still u can still go out with him and get to know him better. u never know. he could become ur future spouse or if not maybe a really really good guy fren. so bad answer chicka. really bad! now in dance class its going to be more awkward dun u tink?

No no lah, I really didn't want to go out with him. Like, you have to PAY ME to go out with him. That is how much I don't want to go out with him. And yah, a bit awkward now but lucky he's NOT my dance partner I dance with for exams

OUCH!!! I think that wasn't very nice, Keesh dear. I agree with Clarissa, or you could at least have tried to arrange a group date or something, so it's not that awkward. At the very least, you could have come up with a better way to turn him down. Haha.. but it's over now... so next time, maybe. :)

Keesh!!!!

Why did you reject that guy? Please state and elaborate your reason clearly? Too ugly that you will only go out with him unless someone pays you? I really agree with Clarissa that you should just go out with him despite whether u like him or not unless you really despise him. Must learn from me when I was younger, I went out with guys I didn't like too and ended falling in love with one of them. Hahaha! Oops! Don't tell justin!
