Valentine's Anthem 2023: I can buy MYSELF Flowers, write my name in the sand!
Keep calm and say 'no' this Valentine's Day!
Have you often struggled with rejecting people or denying advances? It's hard to say 'no' in general, let alone rejecting a proposal, right? Well, tbh, turning someone down shouldn't be so hard, really. You can be a good person, have a kind heart, and still say no.
And, so, here is a curated list of 9 ways to help you say 'NO', and politely!
It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me!
Imagine your neighbour is totally in a mood to ask you out this Valentine's, but you wanna stay home, relax and be as far as you can from the dating drama, just tell him/her, "It's not you, it's me!"
Sach keh raha hai deewana!
"Abba nahi manengey!" Another very genuine response, taking the society and social issues under consideration. This response can literally be used under any and every circ*mstance.
When someone from your school or college friend circle starts generating feelings for you, but you know it'll just mess up the bond, you can also go head and tell them, "we're just friends!"
I'm so sorry but I'm just not ready for this right now!
A progressive response for the time when you know that you are not in the right headspace and need more time to be ready for a new relationship.
You know its not the same AS IT WAS.
"Sorry, but I'm no more into guys/girls!!"
This is totally a GenZ thing and a savage reply to tell them that it's not happening.
It's just me, myself and I, cuz I got me for life!
Another progressive response for the time when you need to concentrate on your personal life, hence, "I needto focus on myself and my career." It could indeed be called practicing a healthy lifestyle.
"I'm actually waiting for my crush to say yes, sorry!"
Tell them that you already have someone in your heart or you are in some kind of a situation-ship. Nobody wants to get into that!
Now that could be completely made-up, but guess they'll never know.
I'm way too good at goodbyes!
Blocking someone isn't exactly a polite way but the option should surely be used if someone is just not taking 'no' for an answer. Hence, one way forward: block and ghost.
Self-love can always be a valid reasoning, people! Just go with, "I like being single." And let's think of it this way, why fall in love when you can fall asleep?
So, if you're being bombarded with questions and proposals, here's a quick way of getting out of it. P.S. We hope you don't break hearts while saying NO.
If you don't want to, then tell them straight up so they don't get misled. Make it clear you only want to be friends, and don't hint around the subject because it could be unclear or misread. Also, don't do it through text or social media, talk to them in person and be very honest.
“I am so flattered and so honored that you wish me to be your Valentine. I am sorry that I cannot say yes. I wish you the best, but I would feel uncomfortable being in a position where I would feel that I am lying to you. I just don't feel the same way.
With Enthusiasm: If you're excited about it, don't hesitate to express that. Saying something like, “Absolutely!I was hoping you'd ask!” can convey your enthusiasm and make the moment special for both of you. Flirty Response: If you share a flirtatious rapport, responding in a playful manner can be fitting.
Another is valentine, though you'll mainly hear this word on Valentine's Day: February 14. Asking "Will you be my valentine?" is like asking "Will you go out with me?" and saying "I like you." Sending a card is a common way to let someone know you want to be their valentine.
Asking someone to be your valentine can be a great way to ask someone out, get out of the talking stage and officially be boy/girlfriend. Although it's not a requirement, asking someone to be your valentine, whether you're in a relationship or not, is a great idea.
If the person is a romantic interest and you feel the same way, you can respond with a positive statement such as "I'd love to be yours." If the person is a friend or acquaintance and you do not have romantic feelings for them, you can respond politely with a statement such as "I appreciate the sentiment, but I see you ...
The threat of war has diminished. Population growth is decreasing each year. Unemployment is rising again and retail buying has fallen off. The factory's workforce has dwindled.
This reduces the chance that their feelings will be hurt later from false expectations. Instead of just replying with “No” or “No thanks,” try texting “It was so nice meeting you, but I'm just not really feeling a connection” or “I'm sorry, but tbh I just don't think we're compatible.”
