How to politely decline first date

[Anonymous]

I told a guy I would go out with him, but I've changed my mind. He's too clingy. How do you politely cancel?

Curious how you know without a date that he’s “too clingy”? Perhaps he’s simply interested in you and not a game player?

Just say you don't think you two are a match and don't want to waste his time. Wish him luck finding what and who he is looking for then leave it alone

Hmm. I would send a nice text and say that you've had a change of mind and aren't ready to date him, but thank him for asking. Keep it short & sweet. Text is probably easier & less messy. If he asks why, you can be honest if you feel comfortable doing so. If not, just tell him your situation has changed & it's not going to work out. Then you can stop responding.

Stupid question

I had this happen a few months back and she told me that she gave it some thought and would never be attracted to me. I liked the honesty.

That’s what you really mean as well, so any excuse you give us fine.

Is this the guy who wants to be exclusive?

Nope. This leaves the door open for the possibility of a date in the future. You don’t owe an explanation.

Need more deets on his he’s clingy if you’ve never gone out. How do you know him?

I’m sorry I just don’t feel a connection anymore. Best of luck to you.

I don’t think our date will work out after all. Good luck
