You change your mind about going on a date, or you are interrupted by some urgent business at the last moment. How can you refuse a date? All this directly depends on whether you want your relationship to continue. There are some tips for both.
Instructions
Step 1
If something really happened for you, and you want your meeting to take place another time: Call your man as soon as possible, as he is unlikely to be pleased to know that you will not be able to come when they already come or will arrive at the place of your meeting.
Step 2
It is also worth explaining to him the reason why you cannot come. Best of all, tell the truth: you are tired, do not feel well, you are urgently called to work, or, for example, you have a cat sick.
Step 3
Do not forget to add that you are very sorry and would like to meet with him as soon as everything is settled.
Step 4
Suggest an estimated date for the meeting. For example, you can say that you are free next Friday. You can also ask what plans your man has for this day, and will he be free?
Step 5
If your man called you back later and asked how your cat is feeling, you should definitely answer and thank him for his concern.
Step 6
If you decide to date this person more: Even then, you should call him as soon as possible. It will be much easier for you to cancel your date on the phone than to come to a meeting and spend the whole evening in the company of a person you do not like and are not interested in.
Step 7
You can also come up with a plausible excuse, for example, you are very busy at work. Or implausible - you were suddenly sent on a business trip at work, for more than six months.
Step 8
But you should still tell the truth that you don't want to pursue any relationship. If you are afraid of hurting his feelings in some way, try to soften your rejection. For example, you can tell him that he is a nice guy, but you are having a difficult period in your life and you do not want to date anyone at the moment.
Step 9
Unlike in the first case, you should not say phrases such as, for example, "we may meet another time" or that you are very sorry. Such words can lead a man to think that you are expecting persistence from him.
Step 10
Your conversation on the phone should last as long as you need so that you can inform the man about the cancellation of the date and name any excuse accordingly. This is very important, it should not give the impression that you are not sure about your decision.
