How to reject someone nicely
Prepare yourself.
If you feel ready to turn down the romantic interest of someone after a couple of dates or a handful of social interactions, you've hopefully already thought through the consequences. You should be confident that this guy/girl isn't for you, and accept that any existing friendship may never be the same (or even survive).
Make sure you also prepare for the act of rejection as well. Think about what you'll say beforehand.
