Dating is a common way to make friends, but sometimes we may not have feelings for the person we are dating. At this time, how to reject the other person becomes a more difficult problem. Here are four tips to help you properly handle this embarrassing situation.
1. Be honest with each other
During the blind date, if you find that you have no feelings for the other person, the best way is to be honest with each other. You can tell the other person tactfully that there are no common topics or hobbies between you, and emphasize that this does not mean that the other person is bad, but that you are not suitable for each other. Through honest communication, you can avoid hurting the other person's self-esteem.
2. Guide the conversation
If you don’t want to directly say that you don’t have feelings for the other person, you can try Guide the conversation so that the other person realizes the inappropriateness between you. For example, you can ask some questions or topics to see if the other person can resonate with you. If the other person's answer is less than ideal, you can hint to the other person that you are not a good match.
3. Keep a distance
If you have no feelings for the blind date but don’t want to reject them directly, you can choose to keep a certain distance. You can express your attitude by reducing the number of meetings or communicating less. Doing so will not hurt the other party, but can also give each other a buffering time and space.
4. Answer honestly
The last step is to answer honestly. When your partner asks you if you have feelings for him, tell him the truth. But be careful when answering and avoid using hurtful words. You can talk about the good qualities and things you admire about the other person, and then explain that you don't have deeper feelings.
When rejecting a blind date, we should try to avoid hurting the other person's self-esteem. By being honest, guiding the conversation, keeping your distance, and answering honestly, we can handle this awkward situation well and maintain good relationships.
