How to decline a customer without losing their goodwill.
Sometimes when someone is flirting with us or asking us out, it can feel awkward if we don't want to go. So, I have some polite ways to decline without hurting their feelings. First, we can be straightforward and say, "I'm sorry, I have plans today," or "I'm only free for a short while, and if it's not now, I might have to get back to work." Just try to be a bit polite about it.
Another thing we can do is to engage in conversation while we're together. Create a fun atmosphere by saying we want to spend time with them, but we need to be a bit cautious right now. This way, they won't feel bad. It can help us decline more comfortably.
In summary, speaking this way helps us maintain our charm and friendliness. I think it makes them feel good about us and they'll definitely come back again.

But if it were me, I would just skip the meeting altogether, haha. Just being straightforward and expressing my feelings is enough. No need to make him feel like I don’t want to talk. But if he doesn’t understand, that’s fine too, right? 😅
I totally understand! 😆 Sometimes I just don’t know how to say no. Like, I’m sorry, I’d hate to lose a client. 555 But if I want to decline politely, I’d say I have other work to do. That feels better!
Yes, sometimes customers can be really picky, haha. Just tell them, "Sorry, I have a date with myself today." That's fine, it won't be awkward! 😆
Oh, if you say it like that, the customers won't know what we're going to do, right? 😂 To be honest, if I'm free on any day, there’s definitely no one to flirt with for sure! 555
I've actually used this method before: "I'm sorry, I have an appointment today," or replying with "Let's meet again another time." It really helps avoid awkwardness. If it were me, I would just say, "I'm sorry, I'm not available right now, haha."
Honestly, I have to say that "I have an appointment" works for every situation, haha. Or you could just say "I need to go back to do my homework," that should work well too. It feels like a good excuse, haha.
I use this method too! It helps me not feel too awkward, haha. But sometimes, if they keep bothering me, I just tell them directly that it's better not to engage. ✌️
I have to say, this method sounds really great 😆 If they're coming on too strong, just tell them directly, "Sorry, I'm not good at flirting." That should be funny, right? 555 Honestly, sometimes there are clients you don't want to let go of, huh? 😂
Try pretending to say, "I'm sorry, I have to help my mom with homework today," and it works well too, haha. Is there another way to decline?
I’ve experienced something like this too. At that time, I was working on Soi 6, and a customer asked to go out for a meal. I said, "I'm sorry, I have an appointment today. Can we do it another day?" That was fine. The customer will understand. 😅
