You could also mention going on dates with other people, or being interested in someone else. “Don’t keep it a secret,” Kuburic says. If they know that you’re actively flirting or hanging out with another person, that may give them the push to move on. Don’t flirt with them, both Brigham and Kuburic emphasize, as that could give this person false hope and might later cause confusion.If you’ve gone on a few dates and aren’t feeling it but they’re still clearly interested, send them a text, tell them in person, or on the phone that you’d rather be friends.
