How do I turn them down?

Question - (30 May 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 31 May 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I need help on how to turn guys down. I'm single, have been for a while, just waiting for the RIGHT guy. I made myself a promise that the next guy I'm with, will be the last guy.

Here is my problem, when I'm hanging out, I always get guys I'm not attracted to asking me out. Of course they start off like they want friendship, and then it's "are you free this weekend". And I also have guy friends who make moves on me, because I'm single they automatically think I'm availalbe.

How do I politely and honestly turn these guys down? In the past I just lied that I had a boyfriend but I don't want to lie anymore. I think telling someone you're not interested in them is hurtful - and some guys don't take rejection well.

Help, thank you.

tell him about your long dream of how you will find the right guy. tell him the qualities he doesn't have that Mr. Right does. and just walk away. don't suggest to be friends just keep talking to him like you did suggest to be friends. he will feel more secure.
