One day this line fell out of my mouth when a man asked me out five minutes after we met. It felt like the perfect thing to say (I am uncomfortable lying) and I liked the way he reacted to it.
The Situation:
As you wait in line at the post office, you have a 5-minute talk with the person ahead of you who invites you out for a drink before its your turn at the counter. You are surprised and … not interested.
The Opener:
“I appreciate the offer. Chatting with you has been fun. I am flattered and …”
Get In It :
“I am unavailable.”
It’s honest, respectful and sends the right message.
If you want me to tailor “How to Say It” to your unique situation, write in and ask me.
