A guy is asking you out to be in a relationship with you. Rant and tell him politely how you’ve been in toxic relationships and isn’t ready psychologically, mentally and emotionally ready for any relationship commitment and tell him you’re still giving yo
Hey [his name],
I really appreciate your feelings and the courage it takes to put yourself out there. It means a lot to me. However, I want to be completely honest about where I’m at in my life right now. I’ve been through some pretty toxic relationships in the past, and they’ve left me feeling pretty worn down.
To be truthful, I’m still in the process of healing from those experiences. Right now, I need to focus on my own mental and emotional well-being before diving into a new commitment with someone. I think it’s so important to be in a good place personally before being in a relationship, and I just don’t feel that I am yet.
I hope you can understand that this isn’t about you or any lack of interest; it’s truly about me needing to take the time to really work on myself and ensure I'm ready for something healthy and positive. I hope we can continue to support each other as friends during this time.
Thank you for understanding.
