Hey. I had a lot of fun with you the other day but I'd really love to just be friends with you. Let me know if you want to get together again as friends :)

Hi! I've really enjoyed getting to know you but I'm not feeling a romantic connection with you. Thanks again for the other night and hope you find what you're looking for!

Hey! I really enjoyed getting to know you but just am not looking to date/see us more as friends. Hope you understand and thanks for checking in :)

Hi, thanks again for the other night. I feel like I need to be honest with you, I really enjoy hanging out with you but see us more as friends. It has been great getting to know you and hope you understand!

Hey there, it was great to meet you, but I want to be honest and let you know I just didn't feel the kind of connection I'm looking for. Best of luck with everything!

Hi! I had so much fun with you on our last date but at this time, I don't see this going further. I enjoyed spending time with you but the connection just isn't there for me. Hope you understand!

Hey. While I enjoyed our date the other night, I'm unfortunately not feeling a connection with you. I feel like we're in different places in our lives right now and don't think it makes sense to continue this right now. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Hi blank. This is not ideal, but I've been thinking a lot and am not really as ready as I thought I'd be to date. I really enjoyed meeting you and hope you understand.

Hey (insert name here). I had a good time with you, but I recently got out of a relationship and realized I'm just not ready to date. Wish you all the best.

Hey, hope you're doing well. I just wanted to reach out and say while I had a great time getting to know you, I realized I'm just not ready to date right now. Thanks again for a fun time!

Hey there. While it's been great getting to know you, I think we're looking for different things. I'm not ready for anything serious at the moment and I don't want to lead you on. Hope you understand.

Hey. I've been thinking for the past couple of days and unfortunately I'm just not in a place to be in a relationship right now. With everything going on in my life at the moment, I need to focus on myself. It was great getting to you however.

Hey, it's been fun getting to know each other, but I'm realizing I am just too swamped to make the time I'd like for dating right now. Thanks for understanding!

Hey. It's been great getting to know you over the past couple of dates. But with my work schedule I don't have time to be dating anyone right now. I hope you understand!

Hi! I had an awesome time with you the other night but I'm not in the place right now to be dating anyone. I have a lot going on at the moment and need to take time to focus on myself. It was really nice meeting you though!
