JAKARTA - If you are a woman with an attractive personality and appearance, being approached by many men is certainly common. The approach taken certainly has a purpose, none other than to invite you to become a life partner.

Unfortunately, not all men who approached were able to provide comfort. Even though he has given many things, his heart still refuses to anchor. Inevitably, you have to find a way to reject the guy.

Obviously, a given refusal can be offensive. However, VOI has several ways you can do to reject a man without making him offended and hurt. Want to know anything? Check out the details below.

Honest

One effective way you can turn down a guy without offending him is to be honest about why you rejected him. By choosing to be honest, you no longer need to bother covering up something from him, and that way he doesn't need to feel lied to for illogical reasons.

Compliment Sandwich

You are very allowed to be honest, but don't forget to balance it with kind words so that the rejection doesn't offend him. Say what makes you unable to accept it, then praise him with all the advantages he has. In addition to avoiding hurt feelings, this method can also make you a person who will be remembered well.

"If you can put in some kind of compliment, it can soften the punch," said Dr. Susan Edelman, a certified psychiatrist.

Speed up the time to be candid

"We hate hurting other people's feelings, so we often try to avoid or be obscure people," explained Susan Trombetti, a matchmaker and CEO of Exclusive Matchmaking to Elite Day.

Unfortunately, procrastinating on explaining to a guy you don't like will only make things worse. He will just continue to look forward to you and take your silence as a sign that you are thinking.

The longer you delay and hold it, the more it will hurt him. For that, immediately come clean about your true feelings. This step is the most right to be done so that he has time to find a replacement for you.
