Topic: I have a question.... | |
---|---|
How do I tell someone through an email that I am not intrested in going out with them on date? I don't want to be rude but the guy is twice my age and older than my parents.... I don't mind being friends, but don't want to go out... what should I do?

Be straight forward and just tell him you do not want to do it. OR just ignore him. I would suggest not being friends with him as this will just give him reason to think he may have a chance in the future with you.

dear dude,
Kind of you to offer, no really, i'm blushing. But, uh, no thanks. sincerely sign here. Seriously though, just say no. |
|
|

I think just ignoring him might work.... it just makes me feel bad though. I mean he didn't do anything wrong and I am flattered but I just can see it going any further than email.. Thanks for the advice.

Be honest, jbeal. You must be straight-forward with some people or they will not leave you alone. Say what you feel and make no appologies.....
Good luck! |

hmm I think its a bit creepy that a guy (as old as your parents) is trying to get with you but thats just me. I personally wouldnt feel bad, I would be creeped out
|
|
|
|
oops, forgot to ask: Does he make like a gajillion dollars?
|
|
|
|
I actually am kinda creeped out by it but at the same time I think he must be lonely.... I don't know.
|
|
|

he probably just likes younger women no reason to be creeped out but i don't think you should just ignore him. it's not like you have to tell him in person or anything, it's just an e-mail.

i think i resemble this topic.
Guy in his forties, forgets how old he looks, looks at girls in their twenties. doh! |
|
|
|
ezguy....
I don't think so.... he doesn't look like he does, but either way that wouldn't matter. I refuse to date someone that could be my dad. haha |
|
|
|
just tell him you dont need a dad your looking for bf lol and if your dad fond out he'll kick his butt. if it was my dauter i would
(dont have spell check lol) |
|
|
|
ya, i'm just saying us old folks don't feel old, we just look that way.
screeeech. did i say i was old |
|
|
|
Ezguy
there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking... I admit that I look at younger men but then it hits me that I would be considered a cradle robber and I immeadeatly move on..... lol |
|
|
|
i don't have spell check either..... oops
|
|
|
|
jbeal..i get that too...emails from older people (like 2x my age)....and i dont wanna be rude to anyone either...so i hear ya...but i have emailed one one time just to say "thank u for writing"....that was it...he got the hint....
|
|
|
|
I just sent him an email.... basically said, don't want to be rude but you're twice my age and I don't think it's appropriate.. Hope he gets the hint... oh well.
|
|
|
|
lol, i bet he does.
|
|
|
|
He'll get the hint and if he doesn't ...BLOCK. Or just tell him you're moving on and "it was nice talking to you".
|
|
|
|
Jbeal...I think it was thoughtful to just tell him the truth...not just ignore him....I do believe everyone deserves an explanation and not to be ignored..... |
