How to let him know you're not interested (without hurting his feelings)

[@stevenphillips2446]

Men don't want to just be friends.. they get into their feelings way to fast.. whenever you turn them down.. they turn against you... 🤥🤥

[@Tinyfurball]

Very true. Some even go as far to physically hurt you.

[@crzxm]

Girly inside, but look like men.

[@EYELOVEMUSICSOUL]

Facts and it’s just unfair but it’s always gonna be a mans way or the high way which is why I prefer a woman

[@crzxm]

@Christopher Williams nonsense.

[@crzxm]

@Christopher Williams Here's another one: cheers.

[@omegac95]

This literally just happened to me. He was such an amazing guy, like everything I want in a man but I just couldn’t pull myself to like him the way he liked me. I tried to but the feeling wasn’t there. Made me heart broken tbh I couldn’t feel love for him. But I hope he finds someone as special as he is who will love him unconditionally💗

[@harryschlitz4067]

Glad for you. But do me a favor, and I hope this does not happen 2u BUT ...After you have been through the ringer with at least 3 other better looking pretty boy floyd's and have 3 kids with these 3 different Men, as karma will have it, you run into him just out and about PLEASE let him know how wrong you were to not grab him when you had the chance, at least the Man will have some closure years later on it was really not him but YOU blinded by bad advice from other Women who have no idea what there talking about and can't stand to see you happy because there not.. And BTW that female that's standing next to him PROUDLY holding the Son she just had for HIM Because she was NO FOOL and not going to PASS on a GOOD thing, That's his WIFE, good luck prying him away from her, she's not stupid.

[@Dizzy.Brunette]

@@harryschlitz4067 you're a bitter little man who has clearly turned a lot of women off. She said she TRIED to love him. Are you automatically attracted to any woman who is good to you, even if you find certain elements of her too unattractive to ignore (physically or emotionally or both)? Didn't think so. Bore off, idiot.

[@gabriellebrown7776]

@@harryschlitz4067 why was she wrong to let him go if the feelings weren't mutual? If she says she tried to reciprocate but she didn't see it go anywhere, its alright. You cannot force yourself to fall for anyone, and there is nothing to repent. She said she felt bad about it and hoped the best for his future , she seems like a good person. There was no bitterness anyway. So, stop spewing crap about your insecurities about feeling guilty about not liking someone back. Your advice was completely unnecessary. If your ego cannot handle rejection, life's going to be difficult.

[@saraparis8186]

you're here cause you're a nice person and don't wanna crush a guy

[@mariannek6735]

Personally I wouldn't be so detailed in turning him down if the reason isn't something he can work on. If you're not physically attracted to him and you write a long letter saying how good he is but that you still don't want to be with him, he's just going to feel like you're calling him so ugly that his great personality can't even make him acceptable.

[@crzxm]

Be direct. He'll move on.

[@surryakhan7989]

ive been very direct for 12 years, this guy just doesnt get im not into him romantically and doesnt stop trying, i am now beginning to find him repulsive and want to end the friendship.

I think people should get over the WHY. Him/Her not wanting you is all the closure you need.

[@apputaiparambil]

Just tell them openly. More you delay, more it's worse. Now if the guy is mature they would want to continue as friends because they like you and respect you and your choice. If he's not, he'll feel so bitter. Now , there are some guys who keep their feelings to themselves cause they don't want ruin what they have with you.. They already know they can't have you , they just keeping it together for their sake.

[@wendysmith9682]

He asked me if I’m dumping him already ... I said “hey ralph,, ya I’m glad we chatted a bit but I’m not feeling this developing. I wish you all the best though..... Feels good to be direct and final.

[@OnlyYouCanBeYou]

why does it have to be too wordy? It's still going to hurt him saying I'm not physically attracted to him then saying all the other wonderful characteristics of him then ending it with let's be friends. This is how men end up hating women and vice versa.

[@ariannamonet6054]

[@Smokey_Cookies]

I said sorry 500000000 times and said it's just I realized I care for you as a friend

[@LatinRoses]

I totally have been guilty of doing it the wrong way. This really helped

[@lilith8778]

The problem is my psychiatrist told me to use the 'sandwich' technic (in which u say positive layer about them and the negatives on why you are not feeling it) as expected, he went on smear campaign about me and cut ties to who ever chose to speak to me. Did asked whether they wanted a fake one sided relationship or a real natural one, he chose the latter and told him that I have no control over my feelings or brain Chem. That's why I fear of rejecting, because God know who's truly ur friend and who's simply there for sth else and if u gently kindly and politely refused, they go against u 180°. Props to men who took rejections in mature way knowing sth like that can always happen and it's part of life.

[@lovekavita]

Yeah often even if you start with positive, the negative is what we all focus on, so often that doesn’t work. It’s about being as loving and honest as possible. Rejection is hard.

[@yolanda5756]

I have told this man that I am not interested in a relationship with him for a few years. He keeps coming back around asking me to marry him!! I...don't....want...him! I have told him this since I first realized he wanted to be more than friends.

[@sarajefferson5393]

Men don’t want to hear a long explanation be more simple … like your a great guy however I don’t think we’re compatable

[@robertblake9892]

How about "Thank you for asking, but I'm seeing someone." Said with a nice and genuine smile.

[@lovekavita]

Only if that’s true. If it’s not the other person can feel that.

[@florindagonzalez5700]

I once had someone who wanted to know why I didn't consider though he made attempts, until I was finally direct, I asked: "Do you want a sexless marriage?" Then, told him I was sexually attracted to him. Being polite and gentle did not work for years. Being direct was. He backed off, moved on with his life. I'm happy for him and hope he is doing well.

[@lovekavita]

[@mitacestalia7532]

I actually being direct with a man and say I am not interested in further relationship with him and let's just be friend and chat. He keeps insisted that he likes me and it triggers my first time anxiety disorder (already diagnosed to the level i need to take medication). I even reply don't wait for me and go for someone else and he still flirts with me to the level I have to say I hate everytime he's flirting (it triggers my anxiety). He turns me from being compassionate to hate him. Now I'm ignoring all his chats and too afraid to use my Instagram because once I post something, he will chat me again.

[@lovekavita]

Did you share exactly why you weren’t interested? Like did you say “I don’t mean to be mean but I’m not feeling chemistry between us or a level of attraction is missing.” He probably needs specificity to get over it. Does that make sense?

[@mitacestalia7532]

​@@lovekavita Yeah, I told him I found no chemistry yet he insisted he liked me. He still texts me when I ignore him for two weeks 😢

[@ipshitajee]

[@graciecanil8482]

I met someone online 4 years ago, we really liked each other, we had connection, we went straight to each how much we like each other, however we realized we cannot be together, because of the distance and lack of money, and also the difference of age, he is 28 and I'm 32, personally I do not care about it but he cares, we started hurting each other, I told him webhad to stop, when he used to message me, I told him many not to, and he said, let's be friends. He crushed my soul the moment he said, even though I still loved him at that time, till now, actually just yesterday he called me, after a long time, and I asked himw what the call about since we haven't for a long and he said, he misses me, I just realized I was glover him, I don't have feelings anymore, those feelings that one almost killed, those feelings woke up entire nights, I don't have them anymore. Should I tell him?

[@angell504]

That message is too long. I’m dealing with a man who’s in his late 50’s and still can’t get the hint. He’s cool and kind, but more like and uncle. And on days I don’t call him, he stalks my social media which I have to be on to market my business, or he gets mutual friends to call me. It forces me to have to rudely spell it out for him, and that’s awkward

[@YourEnchantedLife]

Hummm- so I really liked this advice - so I used it almost verbatim what was suggested and this happens Message one from him: “Okay- good luck and hope you find what your looking for” Message two: “I’m sorry for wasting your time” Message three: “I’m sure you probably don’t care” I cant read or respond to him as I’m busy - had I wanted to Message four (he’s messaging every couple of minutes) “Your message messed up my whole day” Message five: “I don’t believe that your disappointed” Message six: “It doesn’t matter how you feel- just block me and pretend that we’ve never talked or met” I finally responded- as he has not blocked me “As you wish” and then I block him I just really do not understand men these days! In my case I have never even met this man in person - just through Facebook dating and we’ve been communicating for about a week. Does that really warrant this response?! So yeah - if you consider a response like that to be a sign that it worked then wonderful - saying it this way works! 😂

[@lovekavita]

How did it feel to receive all of that from him?

[@florindagonzalez5700]

"YOUR message ruined MY whole day." I didn't like that one. It sounds strange to me. Only known him for a week and already trying to put you on a pedestal. The problems with pedestals is there's no room for movement. And, the moment something moves the pedestal, whatever is on it falls off of it and shatters. You did the right thing by blocking him.

[@user-mt2co8ip4u]

If a guy asks me out and I'm not interested, I usually say "Sorry, I'm not interested." If we've went on a few dates and I'm not feeling the spark I just say that and block on socials. Blocking may seem harsh but it's for the best, there's no reason to continue talking at that point. I don't have the male friends complaining about the friendzone problem because my friends are all women

Mine is close but almost different. I have been friends with this guy since third grade, and our parents really want us to date. He recently asked if I had feelings for him. I did not know if I had feelings for him or not, and since I didn't want to break his heart because he was into me, I said I was. I now regret this and I don't want to date because I really want to focus on school. I even made an oath to never date until after college and I don't want to break that oath, neither his heart. I have had really bad anxiety ever since he asked. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! xd (He also said, "we won't make it official until we both know when we are ready.")

My situation is slightly more different. So I've been friends with this guy for a couple years now and he's been HEAVILY showing signs that he's attracted to me. He'll usually rub my neck with his fingers and hug me for a long time. I feel so uncomfortable when he does this because one, I have a boyfriend and he knows that, and two, I just don't like him. But at the same time, I don't want to ruin our friendship or whatever. I just don't know what to do. I'm not good with telling guys I'm not into them directly. So could there possibly be subtle signs I could show him to clarify that I'm not interested?
