Scenario: Say someone likes you, a lot, and decides to ask you out. You however, on the other hand ain't feeling it and you wish not to go on a date with this person.
Some questions to answer:
1. What would you say to them whether it were face to face, via online, phone, text etc?
2. How would you say it?
3. Would you even say it and just lead them on? (I've heard of some horror stories where people can't be truthful or brave enough to tell them)
Further questions:
1. Would you use the old "friend-zone" method?
2. Has there been a time when the situation got semi-dangerous/borderline obsessive?
3. Any advice or words of encouragement that you would like to add for those who might be going through a similar situation?
Me?: I had a experience in College (High School) when I was about 15/16 years old where a boy I was in class with, came up to me and said "I like you". Prior to that, we use to hangout and talk alot, just like friends would, but I think he started having feelings for me. In no way did I lead him on, but I could understand why he felt like that. Anyway, my reaction was poor because at that time, I hadn't really experienced being in a relationship and I would even cringe at the thought of it. I just froze, and asked him "what did you say?" for reassurance of what he said to me, and he gave the same comment, "I like you", at that moment I ran off because I was low-key scared and I didn't know how to react.
I am sure that some of you have better examples or experiences of knowing how to say no, so let's get crackin'!
Our married friends are welcome to leave their views/experiences as well.
Thanks
