How do you reject a guy politely without hurting him?

Answer 1

If a boy asks you out, and you aren't interested in him, imagine how you would feel in shoes. you could start by saying something such as 'wow, thank you, that's really nice.' and then proceed to say something such as 'i do like you, but why don't we just stay friends?' you could add 'why risk our friendship to date and then possibly break up, causing fights and losing our friendship?'. if you are really scared of hurting his feelings, just say ' I'm not allowed to date yet,' or 'thanks, but i don't date' just don't turn around and ask somebody else out!

Answer 2

To reject a boy

First dont be to harsh

if you are his feeling will be hurt, dont just say NO in his face.

Say something like, "oh sorry .............. but i only like you as a good friend."

Its better to be friends then not be friends at all.

then you will be able to keep your friendship.

yeah i am a boy and i agreeyou never want tobe mean to him it will make him feel like hes done something wrong and he will only try to harder to get you to like him

Answer 3

It's not possible to reject someone without hurting them, but it's possible to make it hurt as little as possible, and you can do that by being honest and direct but still polite. This is easier than many think: a simple "I'm sorry, I do not want to go out with you." will in most, if not all, cases cause the least trouble and pain for everyone involved. If he asks about your reasons, tell him the truth, but don't rub it in. For example, instead of explaining "Because you're an unpopular idiot who I would be ashamed to be seen with", just make it a short "Because I don't feel that way about you."

Tell him something along the lines of, "i really think you're a great guy but i think we should just be friends. but that might change. I'll let you know, okay?" [even if it won't change, you have to give him a tiny bit of hope]
