Turning down friend's colleague politely
| Wed, 10-06-2004 - 5:51am |
When out clubbing last summer I used to come across an old friend of mine & her work colleagues.One of these acted all smiley each time & I realised he had a soft spot for me but never bothered about it.I haven't come across the group for a few weeks but just found an email from my friend asking what I've been up to cos her colleague wants to get to know me better (either through her or directly write to his email).Now this guy is sweet but from the bit we talked I don't really think he's my type of guy for a relationship (too soft, different educational background, etc) so I don't feel I ought to try him out.Any advice how I can turn him down politely without hurting his feelings?Would doing it through my friend be too childish?Wouldn't mind being just friends but then could he think there's still potential in the future?
Thanks in advance.

If you think this man would take rejection better from your friend...ask her to intercede on your behalf. Otherwise...you're gonna have to level with him.
While the initial 'verbal sting' from a woman usually bothers most men...we'd rather know when a woman just ISN'T INTERESTED! Wasting our time and money trying to 'court you' is dumb...especially if you know that 'we're not your type!'
