"Marry me." Many girls dream of hearing these words from their beloved.
But for some representatives of the fair sex, a marriage proposal turns out to be a not entirely pleasant surprise.
In some cases, women make a mental conclusion: "I don't love this man. I won't be happy with him. He won't be happy with me either."
In other situations, girls are simply afraid to get married, explaining the situation to themselves in the following way: “It’s too early, I’m not ready.”
How can you refuse a marriage proposal without offending or insulting the man?
Don't show joy
The main rule: don't pretend that you're happy.
Otherwise, after the subsequent refusal, the man will be very angry or confused. He simply will not understand what happened. Perhaps he will decide that he is being mocked.
Don't try to joke
Trying to laugh it off in such a serious situation is pointless. Wit is unlikely to defuse the situation: the situation will only get worse.
Don't give false hope
If you never plan to marry the person who proposed to you, you don’t need to say phrases like: “It’s not time yet,” “First, you need to ensure the financial security of your future family,” “I’ll agree if you…” and so on.
Just say no
If you are sure that you want to refuse a person's proposal of marriage, then simply say: "No."
There should be no flowery answers or general formulations. The man should immediately understand: his proposal was not accepted.
Yes, it is difficult to refuse directly. But it must be done.
Ask for forgiveness and explain the situation
You need to show that you are sorry that circumstances turned out this way.
Then you need to explain to the man why exactly you did not accept the offer. Tell the truth, but try not to hurt your partner's pride. Never say that the problem is in the man himself.
