Here Are 10 Ways On How To Turn Down An Ex Who Wants To Be Friends

Here are 10 ways of turning down an ex who
wants to be friends:

1. You are moving out
Tell them you are leaving the city for good
and would not be back again. What is the
point of trying to rekindle a friendship when
you would not be around? You guys just had
a breakup. To set things right and get back to
a normal, cordial arrangement would need
some time. You would no get that time if you
are moving out of the city.


2. You need to be alone
It is not easy to get over a breakup and most
of us need some time to get over it. Tell your
ex that you have nothing against them and
would like to consider being friends with
them but right now, you need some time

alone. You want to have some space so that
you can introspect and you can condition
yourself to get out of this phase.

3. You are busy
You are too busy at the moment to think
about this. You have several personal and
professional commitments to attend and you
cannot afford to get into this right now. Being
friends with your ex needs a lot of work. You
have to prepare yourself mentally before you
decide to become friends with them again.
You cannot give that kind of time right now.


4. You are in pain
The breakup has left you hurt and has
created a lot of pain within you. To get over
it, you need to stay away from them.
Friendship would be nice, but right now you
are trying to get over the breakup. Being with
the person whom you were in a relationship
with and have broken up with now would not
be an ideal thing to do at the moment.

5. Avoiding them
They could feel bad if you avoid them but if
you cannot get yourself to face them, then
this is the only option left with you. When
they come to your place, ask your parents to
say that you are not at home. If they call you,
pick up the phone and tell them that you are
busy in a meeting. After a series of such
events, they will get to know that you are not
interested in talking to them.


6. Being with friends
They will not get the chance to bring up this
topic if they do not find you alone. If you are
always surrounded by your friends or some
other people, they will not be able to talk
about this to you. You guys have broken up
recently and this is something which should
be discussed in private. They will never
discuss this in front of your friends.

7. Leaving town
If you want to avoid any kind of conversation
with them, it is better that you take leave
from work and go out of town for a while.
They have your address, phone number,
email address – everything. It would not be
possible for you to avoid them for long. After
they do not see you for a while, they will stop
pursuing you.




8. You are not comfortable
You have to be honest with them and tell
them you have utmost respect for them. You
would remember the moments that you both
spent with a lot of fondness but you are not
comfortable with the idea of being friends
with them. It is difficult for you to be friends
with someone whom you have just broken up
with. It is a very uncomfortable situation to
be in and you would rather stay out of it


9. Take some time
Even though you have made up your mind
against being friends with them, you could
ask them for some time. This will make them
stay away from you and stop pestering you
for some time. After that you can decide what
do you want to do about it. Maybe, after
some time you would want to be friends with
them yourself. Whatever your decision may
be, asking them for some time to think about
it would be a good idea.


10. You have found someone
No matter how strong we might be, the news
of our ex, whom we recently broke up with,
dating someone else is heart breaking. She
might be the one who dumped you but the
fact that you are dating someone at the
moment will make her upset. This is a very
natural thing and it happens to everyone.
Even if you are not in a relationship with
someone, you can bluff and make her stay
away from you.
Being friends with one’s ex works for some
and does not work for a lot of people. You do
feel slightly awkward to talk to your ex after
you have broken up with them. Do not get
pressurized by your ex’s proposal of being
friends with each other. If you do not wish
stay in touch with them, you do not have to..
