rejection

In the intricate dance of human relationships, sometimes we need to gently express our lack of romantic interest in someone. To navigate this delicate situation in Spanish, use tactful phrases like “Gracias, pero no estoy interesado en ti de esa manera” (Thanks, but I’m not interested in you that way) or “No me lo tomes a mal. Solo me gustas como un amigo” (Don’t take it the wrong way. I just like you as a friend). If they persist, be more firm with “No quiero salir contigo” (I don’t want to go out with you) or “No quiero ser tu novio/novia” (I don’t want to be your boyfriend/girlfriend). Remember, clarity is key, but empathy is equally important.
