Re: How do you reject people?

There's nothing shitty about agreeing to a date but not a relationship. Just be upfront with the guy about what you want and if it's not what he wants, that's fine too.

That's sort of what I ended up doing. I told him I had to be honest and that I wasn't interested in a relationship, but I didn't mind going on a date and just having fun. Really hope he understood. He is such a genuinely nice guy, it just feels like I'm being shitty. I really think he'd be happiest in a nice relationship, and I know he's been crushing on me for awhile. It probably would've been better just to say "no", knowing that what I'm willing to offer probably seems pretty half-assed and wishy-washy. I just feel like a jerk overall, I hate rejecting people, even though this wasn't exactly a rejection, it was a very conditional acceptance.

If he's as genuinely nice as all that, he'll respect your boundaries. Just try to be open to any signals he might be giving you. If it seems like he's getting too attached, say something to him and get it cleared up or break it off before things get too deep. You're only a jerk if you're a jerk about it, y'know?

I don't see what's jerk like about your behavior. You like him, you don't want a serious relationship, you told him and he agreed to the date yes? If he gets hurt it will indeed suck, but you were upfront from the start.

If things change you can always step back and say, “I don't want to do this, I'm sorry." A date or two isn't a commitment!

Just continue to be open about your wants and needs.

He's not made of sugar. If he is, that is his problem, not yours. Just make sure he understood you well.
