How To Say You Don't Want A Second Date

Here's how to say you don't want a second date while still maintaining some humanity. You don't have to turn down your ex date and crush them just because you don't want to see them anymore.

However, keep in mind that their feelings are their own responsibility. As long as you don't do anything malicious, they have to own that themselves.

Try this when responding to your ex date's attempt to set up a second date:

"Hey, Jenny, it was good meeting you last time, but I just am not feeling any chemistry between the two of us. I wish you the best of luck".

That message is pretty polite, it's diplomatic, and it doesn't place any blame on them.

Of course, you can change the wording to make it more you, so it has your personality and not mine.

Make sure that when you send it you don't make it so polite that you leave some wiggle room.

It's basically the same thing for turning someone down, don't leave any wiggle room so they don't try to negotiate something or hope for another date.
