Answer 1

Keep it simple- just say "thank you."

You can't stop him from giving you a present.

Answer 2

If you are not interested in him in any way (friendship or dating), politely but firmly explain that you greatly appreciate his thoughtfulness but that you are uncomfortable accepting a gift from ANYONE on Valentine's day (stress the word anyone so he understands you are not singling him out).

If he is a friend, you could accept the gift and thank him graciously making mention of the fact that you appreciate having a nice friend like him.

It will probably be easier in the long run to simply refuse to accept the gift - but please remember to thank him for being so sweet to have thought of you.

Answer 3

You need to be polite and above all else, be honest. Tell him exactly how you feel. If he does not understand, there is not much you can do about it, except stand your gound. If the gift is something small like a small flower, you can thank him, and take it, but anything more should be refused or it may send the wrong signal.

Answer 4

If you're sure you really don't like him, just refuse the present. Say "Thank you for the thought, but I really can't accept this. i just don't feel the way about you that you obviously feel about me, and I don't want to lead you on by accepting this."

You could also use this same grapevine of friends to let him know that you don't have feelings for him, and don't want him to pursue you.

Answer 5

Accept whatever it is (unless it's a marriage proposal- check out ring before doing anything rash lol)
But accept the gift in non hurtful joking way- the way you would a good guy friend of yours.
If he doesn't get the 'just friends' attitude, don't make his life worse by dragging on a refusal. Just say thanks, that's really sweet but I don't think we should date. Why? (The persistant little bugger asks) Because I don't think we're compatible.

Answer 6

let him down as gently as possible...explain to him that while it was extremely nice of him to buy you a present, you are just not into him....I realize its hard, I had a guy that was totally in love with me, even asked me to marry him!! That was when I had to sit him down and explain to him that I was not attracted to him in that way....while I'm sure it hurt his feelings, I think he was glad I told him, instead of blowing him off or not saying anything at all...good luck!! just make sure you are alone when you talk to him...friends can be rather mean & viscious when it comes to this kind of thing!!

Answer 7

don't always go by what your friends say. it this guy truly likes you and you don't like him and he does give you a gift....be nice...just tell him, "thanks for the gift. it was very nice of you and i appreciate it, but i cannot accept it. " do not apologize. there is nothing for you to be sorry about. if he asks why, tell him that you're not interested and didn't want to give him the wrong idea

Answer 8

OK tell him u cant accept this b/c u don't feel the same way he feels about u tell him nicely that u just wanna b friends and c what happens

Answer 9

Say, "Thank you for thinking about me. That was very kind." Leave it at that. If he asks you out then simply tell him "That's nice of you to ask, but I'm afraid I can't." If he doesn't get the hint and asks for further explanation, tell him "I wouldn't want to lead you on."

Answer 10

well if you dont like him make sure you tell him that when he gives you the present. see if he still wants you to accept it but make sure he knows where you stand.
