How to Politely Tell A Guy You're Not Interested In Him

Telling a guy you're not interested in him isn't always easy if you feel bad hurting his feelings. Sometimes, however, you just aren't into a guy who may be interested in you. How do you go about telling a guy you aren't interested without being rude or seeming like a snob? Here are some tips to help you get a guy to get the hint, while being polite doing it.

Instructions

1. Tell the guy you aren't looking to date anyone right now. Explaining that, while you are flattered, you are not looking for a relationship, can help to steer a guy way you're not interested in. Just be nice about it and tell him 'thank you', but 'no thanks'. Let the guy know that you are not out for anything other than making friends. Tell him that you appreciate his gesture, however.

2. Tell a guy who's interested in you that you are in a relationship already. While, this may be lying, if you're not in a relationship, it will help you to spare the guy's feelings. If you are hoping to not hurt a guy who asks you out, you may want to go this route. Explaining simply that you are already taken will quickly turn a guy around to walk the other way.

3. Tell a guy you're not interested by explaining that you are much too busy. Let a guy know that you appreciate his interest, but that you have no time in your life for anyone else. Explain that you work too much, go to school, have children to take care of, or anything else that will help him get the hint that you're not into him. Letting a guy know you don't have time for him should make his interest go away.

4. Tell the guy you just got out of a relationship. Let a guy know you're not interested by telling him you just ended a long term relationship. When a guy knows you may have some baggage you're still carrying, his interest for you will probably fade pretty quick. No guy wants to have to deal with a girl who may still love another man. Plus, there is always that concern that you could go back to your former love.
