When it comes to rejection texts to send if you want to be friends, you've got to strike the right balance. Good for you! Now the next step is figuring out how to tell someone you just want to be friends. It means you knew yourself well enough to recognize that the good energy, convos that flowed easily, and shared taste in music would be a perfect foundation for a platonic relationship - but not a romantic one. As clichéd as it may sound, sometimes you meet someone and know right away you're better off as 'just friends.' While it might seem daunting at first, letting someone know that you think you’d be better off as pals is actually super mature.
