Let me count the ways when they say, “I’d like to see you again.”
1. Gently, “it’s me, not you, I’m too (fill in any adjective – crazy, boring, busy cleaning my sock drawer, etc etc) .”
2. Diplomatically, “Sorry, we’re not compatible.”
3. Efficiently, “I don’t want to waste your time.”
4. Emphatically, “Absolutely NOT!”
Or you can try this rather tidy exit, tried and true by one of my clients:
“Ms. Fabulous Fitness” meets another “Mr. Maybe” for a walk – no coffee, no drink, just a walk. As they’re walking and talking, she decides that “Mr. Maybe” is really “Mr. No Way”.
So she walks faster and faster…..well, you can guess..The End.
