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.Flag it:
