    “Sorry” = an attempt to be polite. What’s the better response? Is just a straight “No thanks” going to go over better?

    Genuinely asking, what’s the best way to reject a date offer if, “Sorry, not interested” is the wrong response?

      I wasn’t really being serious but I would say, yes

      Sorry = something has gone wrong

      No thanks = I’m not interested in an offer but also not apologizing for my actions

      Anybody who responds to rejection this way will likely handle it poorly no matter what but don’t frame it as your own failure
