How do you tell a guy you don't want to go out with him?

Answer 1

When he calls to make a date, have something else that you have to do... but make it at least believable. Do that a few times and he'll eventually get the hint, unless he's a total moron. At which point you may just need to blurt it out. If you've been dating for a long while then tell him that your sorry you care for him alot but just dont have the same fellings for him as you did before. (:Bonnie:)

Answer 2

• Honesty is the best policy. When you tell him be kind and be calm. Don't make excuses and tell him why you do not want to date him anymore. He will be hurt, but all individuals get hurt one or more times in their life and he will survive. I am sure he will find another girlfriend fairly quickly.

Answer 3

If the person asks, tell them that you're busy the first time they ask. If they ask again, say that you've decided to take a break from dating for a little while.

if they don't ask you again, dont bother.

Answer 4

ah this can be one of the hardest things ever sometimes just baisicly tell him what you feel and say you'd rather you was friends or if you don't want to be friends encourage him and say face it you can do better then me build up his ego abit that's a way to let him down gently:-)

Answer 5

I would tell him you are sorry but you just don't really like him that way and that you would rather just be friends. But let him down easy because I am a girl but I know that guys have a lot of feelings too. And after you tell him to make sure not to ignore him. Talk to him but not all the time and be really nice to him without leading him on.

Answer 6

What's important is that you know your job here is to convey that you don't want to be with this guy anymore. It's not about sugarcoating it, or even suggesting an alternative like "We can still be friends". It's just about getting your point across. I'm sure you still care for this guy and will want to approach this incredibly lightly, but it'll be better for both of you in the long run if you're just plain, simplistic and honest about it, sympathetic, but straight forward.

The best breakup I've ever had started with someone telling me "I don't think I want to be with you anymore". When I asked why, they replied "I just don't think we're on the same wave length anymore". So I took that answer and said "ok, I should probably leave then" and that was that. Yeah it hurt, but I didn't hold anything against her because it was honest, straightforward and I immediately knew I had to stop focusing on her and start focusing on life without her. And that was it, the end of it.
