Nice text to friend zone someone

[Anonymous]

I don’t want to ghost. I’m new to OLD, and need a nice text to tell someone I’m not romantically interested in them. We went on a few dates only, older age group. TIA.

You can literally write a version of what you wrote.

You write a message that's basically like, thank you for your time, we're not a match romantically but I wish you all the best. And then you IGNORE.

Dear [friend], thank you for expressing an interest in a romantic relationship with me. At this time, however, I have decided to move forward with other candidates. It was a pleasure meeting you, and best of luck in your pursuit of a relationship.

This is exactly what you should not write.

There is no " at this time".

Write: Thanks for the night out. I am not interested in a romantic relationship. Best of luck.

Keep it brief and honest. Don't leave room for misinterpretation. " At this time" is fodder for stalkers who would keep checking in hoping to catch you at a better time.

Why text why not call him and talk to him like an adult?

“At this time” has no place in any communication and there are no “candidates” the correct reply to your suggested text is “guess I dodged a bullet.”

What makes you think a response will come? The other person probs knows where things are going.

I like something like this.

"I've enjoyed our conversations, I think you're really nice, and I hope you find your person, but at this point in time, I don't see us going anywhere romantically. I just wanted to be transparent with you and I wish you the best."

"I have enjoyed getting to know you, but I don't think we have the kind of connection I am looking for. I wish you all the best! "

Why the weasel words “at this point in time”?

This but add I don’t want to waste your time. 2nd to last sentence.
