| How do you reject someone's attention, politely.
Posted: 10/26/2006 5:01:10 AM | | Have heard of some real gut wrenching, rude, impolite, rejections, been on the receiving end occasionally. l found them the hardest to take but the easiest to get over. | |

business or otherwise, instead, turning to
ridicule in public.
Well, this is always a risk with . . err . . public forums.
Having done sales for many years, I'd think you may have to re-submit your proposal in a different format.  | |

Posted: 10/26/2006 12:06:30 PM | I appreciate the thought Faux Pa,
i feel inspired at least to carry on with my life.
I know what I am worth, and I'm worth more than a laugh.
I will re-emerge elsewhere and am not compelled to battle
wits with anybody who is looking for a laugh at my expense. | |

Perhaps then we can go on a date..and open the bottle...... | |

Posted: 3/9/2009 10:50:47 PM | Hi rust in peace,
Thank you for the thread:
just make up some undesirable crap about yourself and make them reject you....win/win result then ..
And I NEEDED a good laugh.
Please take care. Hope you've already found a great person! | |

Posted: 3/9/2009 11:58:10 PM | Common polite rejections received here include....
They received my message, saw my profile and decided to try the gay thing !
They have just started seeing someone, and continued to reside online 24/7... or
They feel 5 minutes is too far to meet for a drink :)
Still... the battle goes on. | |

Posted: 3/18/2009 11:04:03 AM | Why don't you just be honest with yourself as well as them and just say a polite "thanks but no thanks!" You will find it works wonders.
I'd rather someone told me than to make an ass of myself.
or is it your shoulders aren't broad enough to take rejection itself?? | |

Posted: 3/18/2009 12:58:38 PM | | Reply with something really cool like "f*** off tosser" or if you don't wish to use coarse language "get on ya bike ya tosser".On a serious note the best way to reject someone politely is to not reply at all.No one needs to hear from a complete stranger stuff like "i don't think you are my type" when all you are doing is judging someone by their picture and profile. | |

....the best way to reject someone politely is to not reply at all Normally I would rather come up with something polite but yesterday while checking my mail someone unknown tried to IM me. I accepted the IM but the opening statement was "Lets f@ck". So yes, in that case, I didn't reply at all.
Come on, I cant even imagine that opening line being successful, ever! Even dogs sniff each other's backside as an opening gambit. | |

I entirely agree with yellowjack
the best way to reject someone politely is to not reply at all
When I first joined I found I feel better when I dont reply also because I dont have to reject anyone, if I dont reply .... its a non event. Its the same if I dont get a reply from a message I send ..... plenty of fish

Posted: 3/21/2009 12:44:44 AM | At the risk of admitting outright that you are shallow and to be perceived as such, why not just tell the truth, keep it short and sweet, no rambling. Just say "Please accept my apology if this offends you, but I am sorry to say that I'm not attracted to you. Good Luck". It is polite, forewarns them of an upcoming unpleasant statement and makes it clear they are not your physical preference. No matter what you do in life, you can't please everyone. If you get flak back, block them. Be yourself BUT BE REAL.
Or else you could just go out with the guy, you might make a friend, or even.. FIND A SPARK! that blows your whole idea of a partner needing to measure up to your looks-based perception. | |

Posted: 3/21/2009 1:58:10 AM | I think it polite to reply to emails but then i don't get many so it is easy haha
I replied via email tonight to lovely lady and told her i saw the distance as an issue she said she had looked at that but thought it would be ok ,
she respected my decision and was happy she thanked my for honesty
Or just tell him you have to spend less time on computer as they are cutting back on your computer time as other prisoners are jetting jealous | |

Posted: 3/23/2009 2:32:04 AM | what on earth is wrong with being nice about it?
i alway's thought manners and friendliness were an important part of who a person is
other people have feelings and they should be respected as you wold wish your own to be respected | |

Posted: 3/23/2009 7:05:12 AM | my opinion, as a male, on this, is the following.
rejection is a bad thing, and it can probably hit males alot worse than females, even online from a person you've never met.
the thing you have to take into consideration is, maybe your not the only person who knocked this guy back. maybe 15 other girls have knocked him back.
remember, us guys have to do all the sending. you girls sit back and do all the recieving. although the majority of the messages you recieve are ridiculous inane ramblings from perverts worldwide, at least you get the ego boost.
there is nothing more heartbreaking than a page full of "read - deleted" with no replies. it does play with your head a little, so i think the best way to reject somebody would be, like somebody else said, get them to reject you. throw little facts in about yourself which are going to completely throw him off the scent and make him think "ooooooookay... i think ill skip on this one - loony tunes!"
play your part.. appreciate his interest and consider his feelings.
like i said, theres nothing more heartbreaking. | |

Posted: 3/23/2009 7:32:19 PM | I quite the idea of a thanks but no thanks button - but that can be a cop out at times as well.
For me - I'd rather know up front - and maybe a reason why. Learn from our experiences. everyone is different as are their expectations.
I suppose I just ask for honesty and I expect it in return. | |
