If I've never met them then honesty. If we have met and didn't mesh then we should both know it so I'm not sure why an explanation would be necessary. If they want to see me again but I'd rather not then it's a bit of a juggling act depending on a lot of factors. If they are clingy or were too rough then it's better to remain unavailable. Both clingy and aggressive types have the potential to be vengeful if they feel rejected. So in those cases honesty is not the best policy and it's better just to slowly back away.

And a few times, when that's happened, the person has gotten very aggressive with me and that's before we've met.
I try to be a bit more politic these days, with those type of calls.
When the chemistry is lacking, well, most of my client base are fairly sophisticated men. We know what is what. And for the most part, if something wasn't great between us, he goes in a different direction.
If things were just BAD, and that just rarely happens, and he wanted to see me again? I might be more tempted to see him again to see if we could have a better time.
And it's been known to happen.
I just judge each situation on its' own merits. I don't see an issue with telling a man no. I've done it for a variety of reasons.
A man isn't going to DIE if he doesn't get laid.

P.S. If a guy is rude during texting, I'm quick to let those men just GO. Life is too short to waste time with guys who are knowingly (or not) being clueless. And often, they're not worth the effort to school.
