have another appointment if someone asks
you out for a specific day this is a way
of saying you won’t be available you
already have plans then sorry I already
have another appointment oh I have to
work late today oh I have to work late
today this is a reasonable way to get
out of going on a date you don’t want to
go on it’s a way of saying you have too
much to do at work you won’t have time
for anything else in the evening because
you have to work late oh I’m late for
class sorry I can’t oh I’m late for
class sorry I can’t this is something
you would say if you were in school at
university you’re saying that you are
running late for a class you have to get
to your class your lecture it’s a way of
getting away from someone it means
you’re on a tight schedule
oh sorry I’m running late for class I
can’t I’ll be studying for finals I’ll
be studying for finals finals our final
exams that come at the end of a school
year this is a good thing to say if
you’re in school because it shows that
you care about your grades you have too
much studying to do to be going on dates
with anyone it’s a very valid reason to
stay in if you care about your grades
you have too much studying to do
to be going out on dates that’s not
important what’s important is studying
oh I just made plans to go out with the
girls tonight sorry oh I just made plans
to go out with the girls tonight
sorry this is a way of saying you’ve
already made plans with your group of
friends it means you can’t do anything
else that night because you’re already
hanging out with your girlfriends or if
you’re a guy you could say you’re going
out with the guys you already have plans
so sorry you don’t have time for a date
I’ve got to check my schedule can I get
back to you later I’ve got to check my
schedule can I get back to you later
this is a way of buying yourself some
time it means you’re not sure if you’re
available so you need to double-check
your schedule your calendar wherever you
put down the things that you have to do
your obligations if you’re stinky this
is an easy way to buy yourself some time
to make other plans so that you can get
back to the person who asks you on the
date and say actually I checked my
schedule I have something that day I’m
busy that day I’m sorry I already have a
boyfriend or a girlfriend I’m sorry I
already have a boyfriend this is a very
very common way of rejecting people a
lot of times at a bar if someone comes
up to you sorry I already have a
boyfriend it means that you already have
a significant other in your life and
you’re not looking for anything romantic
with anyone else it shows you’re not
available so they should turn their
sights elsewhere I’m not really
interested in seeing anyone right now
I’m not really interested in seeing
anyone right now this is a very direct
way of telling someone that you’re not
looking for anything romantic with
anyone it means you’re happy to be
single to be on your own not caught up
in any romantic entanglements you’re
saying I’m actually not interested in
what you’re interested if that person is
coming up to you and trying to get
something started romantically asking
you out on a date you’re saying actually
I’m not interested in anything romantic
in my life right now I’m sorry I just
don’t like you in that way I’m
I just don’t like you in that way this
is a very direct way of rejecting
someone sometimes it’s so direct that it
actually hurts someone else’s feelings
you’re telling them you don’t see them
in a romantic way at all you’re not
attracted to them romantically to say I
don’t see you in that way it means I
don’t see you in a romantic way at all I
just want to be friends I just want to
be friends this is a very very very
common way to reject someone I know I’ve
used it it means that you have a friend
who may start having feelings for you
and they ask you if you want to do
something romantic maybe go on a date or
something and this is how you say our
friendship means so much to me and I
don’t want to risk it I just want to be
friends I don’t want to be anything more
than friends I don’t want to be dating I
just want to be pals that brings us to
