Etiquette Question

If he asks you out for a second date, honesty is the best policy. It's better to be upfront and inform him that you're not interested in dating him because you don't think the two of you are compatible and you don't want to lead him on. Avoid the "let's just be friends" line . . . and don't put him off with excuses.

That sounds about right, Gala. By the way, when you coming back through New Mexico?

Debra and Roger, thanks. You've confirmed what I was thinking.

Roger, dunno, I wish it were soon. Boy, that was a great trip. Thanks for asking.

Just say you had a nice time on your first date but just don't think that there is any compatibility between the two of you. Be honest but kind.

I agree, be honest. Just say you are not comfortable if thats how you feel.

bella dea and mindsay, thanks for your contributions. i have to say, i sent him a quick note according to the counsel that was given by all who contributed and it went smoothly. i think people always prefer the truth over some kind of game. what a relief.

Congrats!

And I have to hug you for spelling "etiquette" correctly... honestly, it was like that commercial where a big red bloodshot eyeball is doused with cleansing, refreshing visine...

But a loveable spaz. :wink:

hi sozobe, you're funny. as for spelling errors, i don't think it's necessary to point them out, especially if you know what the person is saying.
