Denying a date is often difficult. Especially if you are, in principle, sympathetic to the young man, and you do not want to offend him. Such news should be presented as politely and correctly as possible.
Instructions
Step 1
“Polite and correct” does not mean “insecure”. If you hesitate and promise "maybe sometime later," the young man may decide that you are adding value or want to be persuaded, and with redoubled fervor take up courtship. When canceling a date, make it clear that this is your final decision. There is no need to instill false hopes in a failed beau.
Step 2
Of course, you can think of a good reason for refusal, like a sick grandmother or relatives who suddenly arrived. However, this method has its own nuances. First, make sure you don't get caught lying. If you told a young man that you would go to the hospital to visit your beloved aunt, and in an hour you would run into him in a cafe, an extremely uncomfortable situation would emerge. Also, you shouldn't say that your car broke down or you got sick, so you can't come. It is likely that the guy will rush to your aid.
Step 3
If you decide to give up a date, but want to maintain a friendly relationship with the young man, tell him the truth. Do not forget to mention that he is cute, interesting and good conversationalist, but feelings cannot be ordered. The ability to part in such a way that the former partner is also grateful to you is an art, so everything must be done carefully, following the reaction of your counterpart.
Step 4
If you want to cancel a date and hope to never see an ill-fated young man again in your life, use your fantasy. For example, tell us that your older brother has returned from the colony and is jealous of his sister's moral character. Most likely, the hapless boyfriend will disappear from your horizon.
Step 5
Do you like the man who asked you on a date, but you can't seem to meet on the scheduled date? Just apologize and suggest another day yourself. So the young man will understand that you do not "dynamite" him, and will gladly meet with you when it is convenient for you.
