S/O: letting a guy down gently
If a guy approaches you and asks for your phone number, how do you tell him "no" if you really are not interested in getting to know him or hanging out with him?
Re: S/O: letting a guy down gently
It depends on the situation. If it's a bar type scene and the guy seems nice enough I'll likely say something like "that's very flattering, but I'm sorry, but I'm not available."
If he seems like a creeper who might actual cause a huge scene if I don't give a number I'll just say "I have a boyfriend" to shut them down.
If it's someone I know or is in a circle of friends where I will see them frequently I'm a little more honest and say something like "You know I think we work best on the friendship level."
I usually just say something along the lines of, "I'm sorry, but I'm not really in a place where I'm comfortable giving out my number right now." Or, if I'm seeing someone, I'll say as much.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
