Navigating first dates can be tricky — especially when the spark just isn’t there. So, how do you politely let someone know you’re not interested without ghosting, lying, or overexplaining?
In this video, Dr. Frankie shares practical tips on how to:
✨ Avoid common mistakes like ghosting or making excuses
✨ Send a kind and clear message that gets the point across
✨ Handle rejection with honesty and respect
✨ Decide when (and if) it makes sense to offer friendship
Clear is kind — and breaking it off gracefully can actually make dating easier for both of you.
