a guy you have just met ask you out how do you say no?

ummm.. there's nicer ways to phrase it like "i'm not sure we're ready for that yet" but i think it would all come down to the same thing, his taking offense to it

No, not calling is nicer than calling and leading them on. Just simply say, thank you for asking, but right now I'm going to have to say no.

Believe me, it'll hurt less than the whole rejection after going out with them. At least now he's left with the dignity of thinking, well she said no because she didn't really know me:)

Good luck!

He'll get the idea if you don't call him. It won't hurt that bad because you are only a crush. It's an easy thing to get over. You could also tell him that you aren't ready to date someone before you get to know them.

so you get the number.. well ig i were the guy...i would know that you dont want to go out with me if you just dont call..but if you dont wanna do that..then try to call him and pray he wont pick up and leave a message telling him that u would be busy or something....otherwise if he pick up...then tell him that u wont be available ..he would understand ...maybe he would try another time...but if you say again u busy that should be it..i would defenetly uderstand that the girl does not want to go out with me..

it ok to takes someone number and not call them...but it really akward when u meet that person on the next day when ur making out with another girl

or guy in ur case

Well, I'm not really sure, but you should just simply come straight out and say "Well, I'm sorry, but I just met you.. and maybe if I got to know you a bit better..but I dont really want to... sorry."

I hope this helps. Good luck. =D

Honestly..you should just be honest and tell him your not interested in him..cuz if say it in a diff way...youll send a wrong signal and he'll think that he still has a shot

Tell him that your not really ready to start dating you have other things to worry about like your family. Tell him when your ready you will let him know!

theres no way to not hurt him just tell him no taht u want him as a friend and thats it

kidanis + bianca

i would tell him what you just told us.

you REALLY HONESTLY dont want to hurt him.

but you just met him-

to give you time to get to know him.

and then ask you.
