Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA:

What’s the best way to turn someone down when they ask you out but you’re not interested?

–Wondering (Canada)

DEAR WONDERING:

I vote for short and sweet. Maybe something like: “Thank you for asking, but I am going to have to say no.” You don’t have to explain yourself. Just be respectful and honor them for putting themselves out there even if maybe that person isn’t your particular cup of tea.
