How do you let the other person know that you're not interested?

I met someone for one time and he hasn't ask for a second date but seem to be interested, he would text me every few days. I'm not slightly interested in seeing him again but ignoring his good-willed texts ( such as have a happy Monday/ its cold, stay warm ...kinda texts) seem to be rude. But I don't want to reply to give him the wrong idea that I'm interested. Hard to "turn him down" either since he didn't ask for a date.... what to do?

He did say on the first date that if I'm interested in getting together again just let him know... since I never contacted him after shouldn't he got the idea already?

Typically I just ghost them unless they ask to go out again and then I will just say no.

I think he's fishing to see if you're interested. He hasn't gotten the hint. So I think you need to take the bull by the horns and say, "Hey, I'm not sure how you felt about the other night, but I didn't really feel a connection. You're a nice guy and a great match for someone, but I don't think I'm her. I wanted to be straight with you and don't want to lead you on."

Sounds like he's trying to get you to initiate and or plan a date, so he's probably not that interested in you either

But why he didn't he stop texting me already? I ignored a few of his texts and he still sends them...

Ditto.

It's not that hard OP, please don't drag this thread for another five pages when it's as simple as either texting him sorry but no thanks or blocking him.

Easy.

The person isn't a mind reader so NO...he wouldn't get the hint.Just tell him that you don't want to go on a date with him again and keep it simple like that.You can be polite and at least be friendly about it.There is nothing wrong on saying hi here or there from time to time as long as he knows that you don't want to date him again.
