*giggles* How many of you guys know about the rejection hotline? Ever gave or got this hotline's number?
I don't have the heart to give such a number to anyone, and I'm lucky enough to have not gotten it before. Ever since my last letting-someone-down-gently went horribly awry, I've decided that honesty is better. "Sorry, but I'm not interested in this right now. I think you're really cool though, and it would be great to hang out with you". Answering any follow-up questions with a variation of "because I don't want to", keeping the blame entirely on myself. Yeah, I'd hate to be on the receiving end of getting a rejection number. I'm sticking with honesty, so I don't inflict that on anyone else.
Well...I don't really know a thing about the rejection hotline. Since...well...the only person to ever ask me out was my crush so...I've never had to let people down gently. I guess I'm lucky...I mean I did get a random note in my locker one time with some person saying they loved me and wanted to go out with me but it was signed "someone from fleming 3" Someone in a completely different house team and...a middle schooler...there was never any name and I knew no one from that homegroup...so...yeah. I guess that's the closest I've gotten.
I... never knew this was tha thing. Never in my life have I ever heard of a rejection hotline. As for my thoughts on it, this sounds like a cruel joke to pull on someone who's trying to make romantic advances towards you. I agree with Zero when he said that honesty is the best response for these types of situations.
Tbh, I never knew about this hotline. I came to know about this not long ago in a youtube video. I tried calling this hotline but no success as I'm in India. I dont think this service is available in India. I heard the call on youtube tho and its so funny. It sure will be cruel and too rude to give this hotline's number to anybody. But, if it was possible, I'd surely give it to a guy who I think is flirting too bad and making like real quick moves on me. Yah!
This is the first I've heard of it and honestly, I agree with zero. I'd prefer honesty. The only time I'd use it would be if someone flat out couldn't take the hint to leave me alone.
Just like what Strytho and Sensei said, I prefer to be brutally honest and just say that I don't feel comfortable going out with someone and besides that, I've only been formally asked out one time and I knew in my gut that I didn't want to be around him anyway.
There are numbers you can give if you don't want to give your number, I heard of one that like feeds animals in a shelter or something? Personally I doubt anyone will ever ask me for my number.
I’d never give someone a number like that. It sounds like a really cruel way to reject someone. Due to how closed up I am in public, the few people who were interested in me gave up after I failed to respond to them. The only time I actually verbally rejected someone was this person online. He was really nice, but I was (and still am) too confused on what my sexuality is.
