As newbies we are slightly unsure on the protocol of saying no to people .
For example
After chatting for a bit getting on great and swapping pics.
You realise they are not for you....
How exactly do you explain this .. is a simple no thanks classes as Rude as 10 minutes ago you were getting on great.
How about . My wife doesnt fancy your husband but your still welcome to join us ...
I just cant quite get my head around d what asses as rude or is it to be expected as we are all on here for one thing (albeit several different versions)
And is it the same in clubs if you make small talk is that leading someone on ,when you quite clearly know nothing is going to happen .
Just want to be clear as there isnt exactly a rulebook for this sort of thing

You can't please everyone.
Sorry, you aren't for us, best of luck to you.
If they can't accept that it's their problem.
(I'm not sure about liking one half of the couple but not the other, I can't imagine that'd go down well) |

Never say my wife doesn't fancy your husband but you're welcome to join us that's not only rude it's insensitive.
Just say something like "thanks for the chat, we don't feel we're compatible".
Don't explain why, don't make it personally and don't respond to rudeness from them. If they ask why or make a fuss block |

I find this quite tricky as I am naturally very polite and anxious not to hurt people's feelings. We usually go with something like "Sorry, but we don't feel like this is going anywhere, so we're going to bow out. Hope you find what you're looking for.  " Polite but to the point and no room for misunderstanding.

It's ruder and misleading to give them false hope by being vague. |

The couple your speaking to or will speak to in the future will have had the same problem with other couples. Everyone on here has had to reject someone one way or another.
Mutual attraction isn't easy when it's 4 way. Hard enough as it is when only 2 people but 4.

Anything but ghosting...
That's by far the most frustrating thing on here.
Let them know.
When I've been told I log it into the personal notes so that I don't bother again |
