how to best reject a guy

Yes. And the story about his having been rejected by the one and ONLY medical residence program that he really wanted to go to - the rejection that devastated him to the point that he did not go to any of the residence programs that did accept him.

What is your BS meter doing now?

Same thing.

I didn't see the rest about the rejection letter and the chat. Either he didn't check his messages when he sent you the chat or he's choosing to ignore it. I think it's probably the former. Don't waste anymore time on him. You did your part, now just ignore him and move on. I don't think that's being mean at all. If he chooses to continue to pursue you when the door is obviously closed (and has been closed nicely but firmly), then that is his time that he's chosen to waste.

Thank you. Blocked in GmAIL.

Just say you've changed your mind...a girl can change her mind!

((((HB)))) how are you doing? Just checking in to see how things are going. I am following along with the thread, but after my recent dip into the dating wading pool I thought I probably shouldn't contribute to any dating/how to move on type matters for at least 6 months (my street cred is shaky right now)

Doing OK, Rose! Thank you!
