Not all people are given the intuition that speaks up in time when visiting, forcing them to say: “Well, it’s time for me to go.”

Sometimes it comes down to overt hints in the form of a cleared table, but the guest stubbornly continues to pretend that he has nothing to do at home.

There are a few diplomatic hints that a cultured person will understand without fail.

How to politely send a guest away

To begin with, you need to try several generally accepted techniques:

  • clear food and dirty dishes from the table;
  • turn off the TV or music;
  • turn on the overhead lights;
  • start washing the dishes.

In such cases, polite people bow and leave.

A Clever Trick for Impolite Guests

If hints don't work, then instead of actions you need to move on to words. It is clear that a cultured person will not point a finger at the door.

Treat what is happening with some humor and say:

"What a wonderful time we had, too bad it went by so fast / it's time to say goodbye / you're already leaving."

And taking advantage of the awkward pause, immediately offer your guest your services as an escort.

Otherwise, there is a risk that he will touch on the topic of time and memories, then there will definitely be no chance left.

The main thing is to understand for yourself that if a person does not understand hints, then you need to speak openly.
