Rid myself of unwanted junk in the form of annoying people and other things (read all 8 entries…)

I'm trying the subtle approach at the moment. — 2 years ago

I received an email from CG a few days ago, and replied, but was very ‘non-engaging’. Then yesterday he sent a text message asking if I wanted to go to something on Saturday night, or on Sunday. My reply was fairly blunt (but honest):

Sorry (CG), no can do. Am having dinner out tonight, and am in (far away suburb) tomorrow. Thanks for the offer though.

I didn’t get a response… I feel mean, but hopefully he’s giving up on me, and then I don’t have to explain that he makes me feel uncomfortable (and irritated). He means well, so I don’t want to be hurtful if I can avoid it.

Don't feel mean

you weren’t truly mean – you were direct and and honest. You’re not beating around the bush and leading him on in any way, and you are potentially saving him from learning that he makes you uncomfortable. He means well and you do too – you’re just not supposed to be together, and if he’s got any brains, he’ll accept that and leave you alone.

Thanks darl'

I haven’t heard back from him since I sent that reply, so fingers crossed he’s lost interest.
