mental_traveller Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Originally posted by sarah12 ...that when we meet a guy or talk to one, that he wants more than friendship? and if so, should we state up front (without him having asked) that we aren't interested in dating if we really aren't? OR should we be polite, keep talking to him and wait until he actually asks us out or for our phone number to tell him we aren't interested? I'm a very honest and straight-up person, and I don't want to waste time with the small talk if I'm not interested in the guy (which is about 95% of the time). You can state it upfront if you like, but don't be surprised if he says "Oh yeah , as if I'd date YOU!" IMO it's a bit rude/cocky to assume a guy wants to date you just because he talks to you. How would you feel if a guy assumed you wanted to date him just because you said a few words to him? If you're not interested in small talk with someone, then just make an excuse & leave, or find some other polite way to stop the chatter. No different to dealing with an excessively friendly/chatty neighbour
