How to hit the "reject" button
Well, CPWriter weighed in on a heart-tugging proposal, but since this group
is "love and rejection" your buddy Mr_Write is here to weigh in on
the latter half of that title.
Let's face it, no one likes getting rejected, I'm not going to talk about
getting rejected cause that would never happen... I'm here to talk about how to
reject someone as painlessly as possible.
I've found that the old standbys work the best. That's right... be disingenuous.
It does no one any good to say, "You're fat, ugly, and boring, get out of
my life." Instead, say, "It's not you... it's me. I'm just in in the
right place right now." Of course, leave out what you're really thinking
which is, "I'll never e in the right place... for you, miss notch on the
bedpost."
If that doesn't work, try telling the girl (or guy), "I decided to give
it one more try with my old girlfriend (or boyfriend as the case may be."
Just make sure to leave out the part where you explain that said boyfriend is
strictly imaginary.
If that doesn't suit you, you could try saying, "I'm not ready for
anything serious right now and it wouldn't be fair to keep going with
this." In this case, it's best to leave out, "I'm only in it for
yucks and frankly, you're not very funny."
So let's recap:
1) Always lie
2) It's not them, it's you
3) An old flame has coincidentally returned.
4) You're too immature for this "right now"
If none of the above works for you, you might be out
of luck and on your way to the gallows... I mean altar... before you know
it.
