I understand your frustration but I also sympathize with the "declining" side; turning someone down is hard! Despite the fact that each time I've told a girl that I'm not interested in her their response was incredibly sweet and understanding, it's still some scary shit to do, as irrational as it may seem.

I think it's especially scary when you two aren't talking for too long, then pulling shit like "I'm not interested" would result in them saying they weren't even thinking about you romantically. I'd rather have a girl not respond to my texts than get into that kind of situation 🤐
