Ways To Reject A Guy Without Hurting His Feelings by Akinonnairaland(m): 10:07am On May 11, 2016
A man may want you because a part of him feels drawn and attracted to you, but, you’re not interested in this guy.
You want to tell him to stop, you just don't know the best way to. Here some tips that will help you in turning down a guy nicely without necessarily being mean about it. No one likes a meanie, and that reputation might prevent a good guy from ever approaching you. Forget what you see in the movies.

Be Honest, Just Say No
Honesty is the best policy! You can be honest and still be nice, and believe me he’ll appreciate it in the long run, and wont have anything bad to say about you. A simple line like

“I think you’re a nice person, but I’m just not interested.”

Now remember it’s not exactly what you say but how you say it. Some Nigerian girls can say this simple statement with a lot of facial expression that leaves a man in tears. No need to be rude, or act like everyone has been disturbing you all night. Just be cordial and let him know

Offer The Friendzone
Now this works more so with someone you already know (a coursemate, reading partner, church member, family friend etc.) but it could also work with someone you meet. The standard “we can still be friends” or “I look at you as a brother” always works to soften the blow of rejection, and most guys will either take the hint, or take the friendzone status. Either way you’re off the hook… for now.
Warning: Most of the guys around this days hate it when you try to friendzone them, they push to make you "a friend with benefits" so you really need to becareful.
The magic word is:

“we can still be friends”

Claim To Be Dating Someone Else
Yes I know this is risky, especially if this person already knows/thinks you’re single, but it’s worth a shot. “I have a boyfriend”, or better yet “I’m engaged” will work wonders for you most times. A lot of guys will quickly give you a nice smile, and tell you how lucky your imaginary man is. What about the guy that persists with some lame “what that gotta do with me” line? Tell him you expected more from a guy of his kind, he will shrink and apologize. Hey! You tried being nice once.
Warning: If you know you have a thing for him, do not try playing this card because if you turned in later, he will look at you like some girl who cheated on her guy with him. Some guys can be like that.
“I have a boyfriend”

Give Him Toke’s Facial Expression
He says: "I have feelings for you Toke, feelings that i think..." and then the face. This face will make any guy go away quickly! stop laughing to yourself jo and learn how to be nice with those guys you don't want to be with but won't let you be. Shout out to Toke Makinwa.

Hey, what are you waiting for? Share with your friends jo.

Nice Thread.
Some Girls are just not matured enough to be called Ladies in this aspect. Some will just say the Right things the wrong way.
Some will just throw a Bomb at a guy and regret it later.
