Rejecting someone

This guy I met at a party got the wrong idea and thinks we have some chemistry between us. I decided to give it a try and hung out with him once, but he's not my type. I don't know why he keeps asking me out, cuz I've turned him down twice already, and you'd think that he'd get the idea and move on...

He's a nice guy, I'd wanna stay friends with him, but is there any way I can get the message across (that I don't like him back) without being mean about it? I don't want to think up another excuse the next time he asks me!

    LOL well its sad but you're probably the closest he's gotten to hooking up with a good looking chick and so he "thinks" there is chemistry. Just stop making excuses and be straight up with him...he'll probably hurt for a bit but in the long run its better than leaving him with a big question of "what if i had done things differently..." I dunno about the friends thing though someone else might have to cover that

    lol.. been in the same situation before flora.. i do feel for you.. but some things just gotta happen in the generic.. rejection is gonna hurt.. no doubt about it.. but nursing that wound isn't your responsibility.. =) so don't feel bad about telling him honestly that things aren't going to work out... your responsibility lies with being frank of what you think..

    and just a word from experience.. make sure you EXPLICITLY say what you mean.. some guys are just too thick headed to understand that no means no... =.=" i still have one guy who's still hanging on after i made it clear that i'm NOT interested!! yet he thinks he still got a chance by waiting it out... =.=" boys... *siGh..

    but.. i really thought.. we had some chemistry.. i mean that one date was so special.


    no jokes, anyways what kind of guy is he, is he like a good boy kinda thing then you gotta let him off lightly, if he's just out there lookin' for girls all the time, smack him hard with it.

    Hey, while on this topic, if you ever meet somebody at a club or anywhere for that matter, and they ask for your number (as if they're picking you up), give them this number: 604-696-1033

    It's the rejection hot-line. It lets them know about your intentions. Give it a call sometime, it's pretty funny. Oh, and when it picks up, the guy says "Hello?", and sounds like a real person, but it's not, so don't hang up =P
