The return of the ex of doom

Rejecting a guy you hardly know simply on the grounds that youre not interested in him is difficult. The guy is nice, but you have to slam the door on his face. In theory, I'm a tough defender of the absolute Truth. But in practice, when it may hurt someone, I'm not! So, how do you say no to a guy without pointlessly hurting his feelings?

Well it's very simple! Just make him think the problem comes from you, not him. (Which, in the end, is true: if you don't like him, it comes mostly from you.) There's an excuse matching these requirements: the return of the ex of doom.

Once in a club, I kissed a guy. When we started talking, I realised... well, he wasn't that hot anymore. The day after, he texted me and asked to see me again. I waited a bit and answered:

I'm sorry, I got some news from my ex and I'm quite confused. I think it'd be better not to meet again. Nice meeting you.

And it works EVERY TIME! Besides, the guy is gonna think you're a drama queen, so he's gonna give up straight away! It's more appropriate than ignoring the person's messages, don't you think?
