"Stop signs don't always work. How to say no to a second date. This is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer Girls: A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating and host of Ask Dr. Paul. All right, you had a date and it didn't meet with your expectations. Whether you're male or female, how do you say no for that second date? Well, you can be blunt and simply say, "No", which may not be a bad thing. You can be truthful and say, "You know, I just don't think this is going to work out for me or you or us." Or you can do another option, and that is, "I think I know someone you might like to meet." Now, if you're a male or a female, that tells them something loud and clear -- that you are not going on a second date with them. "I don't believe that it'll work out for us, but I have a friend you might like to meet." Or you can simply say, "I discovered something on that date with you and me -- that we could be great friends, but I think that would be the extent of it." Now, that makes the message loud and clear. And who knows? Maybe you can be great friends, and maybe that person that you suddenly made a friend of has a friend who you really might like to meet. So keep your options open, don't burn your bridges, and think friendship -- that always makes the other feel better about themselves. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow."
