Re: Help! What's the best way to say no thanks? WhiskeyGirl: Honestly, I had a REALLY hard time with this too when I started dating.
My "out"....."I had a great time....and I really thought I was ready to date again...but the truth is I'm not."
To me, that was just a little less..."You don't do it for me" and more 'I have some work to do before I'd be ready to date a great guy like yourself" Ya know?

He will live.
