How to reject someone nicely? ;l

[iJess]

Okay, well there's this boy I know and we're good friends but he's started sending stuff like;

i like you a lot and i just wish someone would like me for my intelligence and brains not my "good" looks

Gosh it's so awkward, I mean he's a lovely lad but I'd prefer to just be friends with him, and I don't know what to say amg, it's so awkward looool ;L I've tried ignoring him but he's been at it for a week and I think it's time I said something put I don't want to sound really harsh errr

omg thanks xox

"sorry, i don't like you like that" wow omg that was simple lol or take advantage and get free things

if I was you I'd just keep dropping hints like "i'm so happy I don't have a boyfriend" "it's so nice to be free" "god I can't imagine how horrible being in a relationship would be right now"

or just be kind and say "I'm not really looking for a relationship right now, and although I adore you as a friend I don't think anything else between us would work"

[iJess]

thanks ;3 xox

I'm with Jen really saying you don't like him like that.

However, you could say you're not interested and that you're sure he'll find someone for his brains and not his looks.

that will ruin the friendship when she starts dating someone though, as he'll feel rejected.

be honest cos it'll ruin your friendship if you leave it too long as he may have a dented ego and feel like a douche.

I agree with this bit really, I think he'll feel rejection once you date someone, Jess so I wouldn't suggest it, after all he's your friend, right?! :P

Honesty is the best policy. Not all the time, however in the nicest way possible, just say you're not interested.

Hope it all goes okay. :)

lolol just saw your dj name and made me start singing the song which is kinda ironic considering what the thread's about!

He's clearly not going to go away by ignoring him so you do unfortunately have to be as blunt as possible so he gets the message that you're just not interested.

maa milkshake brings all the boys to the yard;)

If he ever does decide to ask you, just go on about how to don't feel that way and MAKE SURE you say "You're like a goldfish to me, I'd cry if I had to flush you down the toilet but I wouldn't KISS YOU!"

Drop some casual hints saying how your happy not being in a relationship. If that doesn't work then just cut to the chase!
