I have a hard time explaining to friends why I do not want to date anytime soon. The real reason I don't date is because I don't wanna deal with rejection, but of course I'm not gonna tell my friends that and open that can of . My fallback excuse is that I'm too busy with school to date but since my program ends in May, can't use that anymore. So CD what are good excuses for choosing not to date that will stop nosy people in their tracks?

You don't need to justify to anyone why you want to take a break from dating.
Why lie? Just tell your friends that you are not interested in dating at this time. If they persist, tell them that you appreciate their concern but they need to bugger off.

Why not be honest?
I'm not up for facing rejection right now.
There must be any number of random excuses you can come up with if you use your imagination -
I'm very busy in my life, and dont have the energy to work hard enough to impress someone right now.
I cant focus on my vast interests in random male sporting events (Superbowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, Olympics) and a date too. Its too muddled and confusing.
Because it would interfere with my endeavors to become a lonely hermit.
I was considering becoming a priest/monk, and want to limit my exposure to see if that is the lifestyle for me.
I'm saving myself for that special person that the Tooth Fairy had promised she would leave next to my pillow for me one of these years. Im just not sure, at this stage of my life, if Im willing to lose a tooth to see if I get one.
It's like Mastercard: The possibilities are endless.
It's easy to say, "no need to explain yourself," but for times when it does come up, a short, declarative statement comes in handy. I think keeping it simple with something like this ^^^ or, "I like keeping my options open" works best.

I can't say I've ever had a friend or co worker ask me about why I'm not dating when I'm not dating. I just say I don't feel like it. The end.
I have a hard time believing people surround themselves, voluntarily, with people that insert themselves into their social life.
