OK, so you finally meet someone you believe is compatible. The two of you exchange a few words and before you know it, you're getting ready for your first date. You are so excited at this point. You feel the butterflies swirling around in your stomach because you're almost positive"this is the one", at least that's what you tell yourself. After all, you've already made it through the awkward introduction stage and he/she's certainly pleasing to the eyes so what can go wrong? You finally meet up and the unthinkable happens; you have absolutely no interest in what your date has to say. As a matter of fact, this has quickly become the most boring date you've ever been on in your entire life and to your misfortune, your date on the other hand is into you and wants a second date. What do you do?

Run!!!!! Lol, just joking. Running is the last thing you want to do. After all, if the person is psycho, they will find you. When I say "Run", I mean avoiding the person's calls and never calling them back. We're all adults here and deserve to know the truth. Nothings worse then going the rest of your life saying "I wonder what happened to xyz". There's no nice way to get rejected but there's certainly a respectful way. Have you ever heard the saying "Honesty is the best policy?" Well, it's the truth.

You can lie and make up stories about how you're getting back with your ex or that you're dating someone else but what good would that really do? One lie would only leads to another and another until you're caught. Or if the person really likes you, they will not take no for an answer. Telling the person you're not interested anymore and would like to see other people is the best way to go. This clears your conscious and alleviates any questions the other person may have. Some may ask why and demand an explanation while the majority will simply agree and move on with their life.

Be prepared for negative reactions and obscene remarks. Not everyone takes rejection well and therefore may object. If this were the case, be firm and brief yet respectful. Say what you have to say and get off the phone or walk away. Below are two break up liners I wrote to better assist you in the event you find yourself in this situation. Good luck!

1. "Hi xyz. It was a pleasure meeting you the other night. I thing you're a great person however, I don't feel that we are as compatible as I originally thought. Through our conversations and getting to know you a little better, I can't see a future with you developing beyond where we are now. I think it would be best that we go our separate ways."

2. "Hi xyz, I'm flattered that you'd want to see me again but to be honest with you, I'm not interested in pursuing this relationship any further. I'm more interested in men/women who... and based on our conversations, you don't fit those qualification. I think you're a great person and would make someone else very happy, I'm just not that person. I hope you understand."
