I have turned down men before, usually with the age old "I'm just not interested in dating right now" spiel. I always feel just awful doing it. I guess I get that from my mother. She is a people pleaser, and wants to keep everyone and everything as peaceful and harmonious as possible. She herself, has trouble saying no sometimes too, and then gets overwhelmed by the all the responsibilities she's taken on.

Anyways, I can say "no" if push comes to shove, but I'd rather not have to say anything at all.
