What to Reply if You Don’t Want to Flirt?

If you’re not interested in the guy and you actually don’t want to flirt back or give him the impression you’re interested, it’s best that you make that clear.

Depending on what he texts you, you could say something like:

• “I’m flattered, but I’m not interested in dating right now.”
• “Thanks for thinking of me, but I’m cool.”
• “I appreciate your interest, but I’m not looking to date right now.”
• “I think you’re great, but I value how good of friends we are.”
• “Are you really flirting with me? Haha, that’s so cool, but I’m not available right now.”

If you want to be more blunt, you could always just say “no” or “stop.”

But if you want to be a little nicer about it, the phrases above should do the trick. Remember, it’s okay to let a guy down easily. He’ll get over it and there are plenty of other fish in the sea for him.
