6 Best Things to Do On a Friday Night With Friends

via: Pexels / Kindel Media

If you ask me what's the best thing to do on a Friday night, I will spend it with my friends in a heartbeat. I mean, why not?

They're like family without all the judgment and snide comments, so you can really do anything you set your heart to on a Friday evening. And I'm sure you've already made a lot of core memories with your gang, so why not make more?

This list of things to do with friends will have you rolling till Saturday night.

1. Restaurant Crawl

I love city food walks, especially after a long, tiring day. It's even better if you're doing it in a place that's a melting pot of different cultures and cuisines, such as New York City or New Orleans.

You'll have a lot of dinner options, that's for sure. There is Mexican food, Thai, Indian, Japanese, Filipino, Italian, and African American.

If you and your friends are foodies, a restaurant crawl is definitely a great way to test your taste buds.

2. Go Bowling

In the mood for a friendly match of target sport?

Bowling is a great recreational activity that allows you and your friend to bond and unwind over cold beers, live music, and good-natured jabs.

3. Karaoke Party

How about a mini singing competition with your friends? What I love about a karaoke party is that they have all kinds of stints these days- themed rooms, neon lights, high-quality sound systems, plush couches, dart machines, and foosball tables.

You can literally feel like a star and sing the night away with your friends.

4. Go Camping

Camping is NEVER not a fun thing. If you're tired of the usual New Yorker cityscape, why not get a well-deserved R&R under a blanket of stars? Just make sure you have everything you need to stay comfortable.

5. Go to a Bar

One of the most common ways to spend time with your friends is to hang out in a bar with live music, honest-to-goodness craft beer, and greasy, delicious food. Need I say more?

6. Travel for an Overnight

How about a change of scenery? Perhaps a road trip? Or an Air BNB staycation?

6 Fun Plans to Do On a Friday Night Besides Party

If you're an introvert and not really a fan of social events, don't fret. There are still a lot of fun activities to do with friends at home.

If you're running out of interesting ideas to spend time with your friends sans partying and bumping into strangers.

7. Movie Night/ Netflix and Chill

A night of watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy with popcorn, razzles, and pinwheels? Sign me up! You can never go wrong with a carefully curated movie night with friends.

8. Trivia Game Night

Test your IQ with a round of a brain-boosting game night. There's so much to choose from, so you really can't get bored doing this- Kahoot, Family Feud, Jeopardy, Crowdpurr, and even a special St. Patrick's Day Happy Hour.

9. Cook a Traditional Dish

If you'd rather enjoy your meal in the comfort of your home, you can always make it more fun by inviting your friends over and teaming up to prepare a hearty traditional dish. You'll fill your stomach and learn something new all at the same time.

10. Host a BBQ Night

How about a night of drinking craft beer and devouring sticky barbeque ribs? This is even perfect for when you're hosting a Super Bowl party.

11. Bonfire Night

Whoever said you couldn't have a bonfire at home certainly hasn't heard of a portable fire pit. If you're not the outdoorsy type, you can still have your smores and exchange creepy horror stories right from the comfort of your home.

12. Host a Poker Night

Poker might not be a free thing, but it sure makes a hell of fun. A mind game that will definitely test your strategic thinking and poker face.

Who says only women can have makeovers? Your style is your personal brand, so go ahead and take your time sifting through your wardrobe.

15. Treat Yourself to a Dessert or a Cocktail

via: Pexels / MART PRODUCTION

22. Do Some Yoga

A mindful yoga session just before you hit the sack is a great way to cool down and officially unplug from the stresses of life.

23. Have a Midnight Picnic

Ever heard of charcuterie boards? If you haven't, hop on to the bandwagon and enjoy it with your favorite red wine and a movie. Thank me later.

24. Go Stargazing

Looking up and gazing at the stars always makes me feel small…but in a really good way. It reminds me that we're all just a speck of the universe, and we really shouldn't worry that much.

Sigma male movies are full of the stoic toughness and the quiet confidence of its main character. They show us how to be the best versions of ourselves, and help work towards living a life we can look back on and be proud of!

I'm a professional life coach, publishing my ideas on sites like Odyssey, offering up great tips and tricks on becoming your best self. Knowing that, you're in the right place for a handful of sigma male quotes and ideas on what movies to watch!

Let's begin.

Ultimate List of Sigma Male Movies That Can Top Your Watchlist

via: Pexels / Karolina Grabowska

Sigma men can always separate themselves from basic social norms that would drown them in a sea of boring men. This list of sigma male movies is a great way to guide young men into the sigma male archetype that can attract almost any woman out there.

American Psycho

Patrick Bateman is a strong, silent, and mysterious character that has an unconventional mindset and stands out from other, more normal men in a traditional social hierarchy. He has this calm and sleek demeanor that plays well with how he does not necessarily seek to draw attention toward himself. This a perfect example of how mysteriously alluring sigma male lifestyles can be.

Joker

One of my best recommendations for a more modern twist of sigma male movies. The Joker is a fantastic movie that showcases the unique perspective of how an introverted alpha male operates. His character breaks the preconceived notion of the problems within societal norms without the need to seek out pride or praise for his actions.

Breaking Bad

If you want a show that shows the dedication and grind of someone pushed to his limits, then Walter White is a great example of a sigma that does what he wants regardless of what people think about him. Breaking Bad is a series that shows how a sigma man will strive to achieve his goals regardless of the need to rebel or follow through the proper channels. A definite must-watch TV series for many.

White Tiger

For guys that want more intelligence and class to their sigma male watchlist, then check out White Tiger. This Indian film focuses on daring the audience to find what a sigma man is capable of, using his wits to escape his life of simple poverty by breaking through the limitations set by social classes.

The Godfather

The Godfather is one of the most well-respected classic films of all time. His acting is a great choice if you are looking to find a powerful sigma movie to sit through and talk about with your friends. I highly recommend this movie as a great start to see the origins of sigma male behavior and how it evolved to what it is today.

Batman

via: Pexels / Picography

Everyone knows who Batman is. Throughout the various forms of films, TV series, and other forms of media, Batman always strives to keep a cool, calm, and silent character while fighting crime and becoming an icon that everyone still idolizes. My recommendation for the best sigma male version of Batman is none other than Christian Bale's portrayal of the Bat Crusader during The Dark Knight trilogy.

Irishman

This Scorsese American gangster film is a great choice if you want a sigma archetype character that defines cool without even trying. Robert De Niro's acting truly understands the archetype and the little nuances of keeping oneself isolated from people and society entirely.

Nobody

via: Unsplash / Maxim Hopman

When it comes to films talking about defying the status quo, there are barely any other films that you should watch more than this. Nobody is a great film that shows the power of embracing the sigma male lifestyle. The main character finds that with desperate times comes desperate measures as he strives to find the people that dared attack him and his family.

Taxi Driver

via: Unsplash / Dimon Blr

Taxi Driver is a classic among the sigma male archetype. The movie focuses on protagonist Travis Bickle, and how his work as a cabbie in New York drives him to pursue justice to clean up the city through any means necessary. This film is a great example of how the director Martin Scorsese is the master at making stories about a sigma man.

Faceoff

via: Pexels / Elijah O'Donnell

Faceoff is a terrific movie that shows the willingness of a man to get the job even if he has to do it by himself. The film combines both action and tense thriller while focusing on Sean Archer undergoing facial reconstruction to mask himself as a crime boss and take his empire down. The lone wolf approach of the film perfectly showcases the power and bravado that you want as sigma men are usually capable of.

via: Mantelligence

Who Exactly is a Sigma Male?

via: Pexels / Andrea Piacquadio

A sigma male is a man that works or operates outside a traditional team, group, or even social hierarchy. These types of characters tend to exude masculinity while doing their best not to seek desperate approval or attention from other men or women. Because of this, they are often seen as lone wolves - characters with silent toughness and quiet confidence. They don't need to be liked to be cool; they just are.

Why are Sigma Male Films Worth Watching?

Not all hobbies are equal. Some take up more resources than others. Some hobbies will require a lot of time from you, while some only need a few minutes of your time. For some, you don't need a lot of money.

Think about the resources you have. How much time and money are you willing to give for the hobby?

Do you know what are fun things to do when bored? Trying out new hobbies, of course. Whether it's relaxing or loads of fun, try out new things, and you'll have plenty to keep you occupied.

This list of things to do in the morning will jumpstart your day.

Believe it or not, 92% of highly productive people have their own morning routine. I've written helpful posts on productive things to do and things that can help improve your life. To help you adjust to a healthier lifestyle, I've gathered the best things to do when you wake up.

Let's start.

5 Things To Do In The Morning to Start Your Day Right

via: Unsplash / Andreas Palmer

Whether you’re a morning person or not, you have to start your day somewhere along the way. The great thing about the morning routine or daily habits I’m about to share is that it doesn’t matter if you’re a morning bird or a night owl. This 5-step routine will help you get ready for what your day (or night) is about to offer.

#1: Wake Up and Breathe

Let's be real; opening your eyes as soon as you wake up can be challenging for many people. However, doing breathing exercises is not. Starting your day with breathing helps improve your lung capacity and is a great awareness activity that'll help you be more alert throughout your day.

There are plenty of breathing techniques, but I highly suggest Dirga Pranayama or 3 Part Breath for beginners. This is where you inhale–consciously and continuously from your belly, chest, and throat (hence the name)–and exhale the other way. Feel your breath rising and falling, moving in your body. And after a few minutes or so, you'll feel more relaxed and awake.

#2: Don’t Reach for Your Mobile

via: Unsplash / Georgia de Lotz

Going on social media to catch up on the things that happen while you’re sleeping is incredibly tempting. However, reaching for your phone or tablet as soon as you wake up is the pitfall for an unproductive day. Believe it or not, most apps on your phone are designed to keep you from noticing time (Looking at you, Tiktok). And so, try not to look at your phone as soon as you wake up–however difficult that might be.

#3: Make Your Bed

Instead of staying in bed on your phone for a long time, stand up and make your bed. Making your bed in the morning will prevent you from going under the covers. Therefore, you’ll be forced to do other things than lying down for who knows how many minutes or hours. Besides, going to a clean, made-up bed when you actually have to sleep is a reward waiting for you at the end of your day.

#4: Move Around

After making your bed, you might want to do some stretches or morning exercises. Moving your body in the morning will helps in improving blood flow throughout your body after being asleep and sedentary for hours. When you exercise in the morning, it also provides a boost of energy as well as positive chemicals in your brain, making your mood brighter.

#5: Spend Time with Your Loved Ones

via: Unsplash / Luemen Rutkowski

If you live with your spouse, a beloved pet, or another close family member, spending time together in the morning, however short it is, can instantly improve your mood for the day. Playing with your pet, talking to your partner, or helping your kids get ready are some productive yet rewarding activities you can do in the morning.

5 Benefits of Starting Your Day With a Routine

Why should you start your early morning routine with activities that promote mindfulness and productivity? A successful person would tell you that having productive mornings will allow you to reach your goals faster. But there's more to it than that.

Benefit #1: Better sleep quality.

via: Unsplash / Claudia Mañas

Starting your day right involves doing things that will more or less improve your energy levels and mood. Getting enough sleep and rest can do wonders for your energy when you wake up. And in return, you'll get the benefit of having better sleep.

Sticking to a morning routine, like waking up at the same time every day allows your body's circadian rhythm to align better with your schedule and energy throughout the day. To sleep better, you must engage in activities that foster better habits, such as adopting a mindful morning regimen.

Benefit #2: Enough time to accomplish your plan for the day.

via: Unsplash / Tyler Franta

Looking at social media, with all the apps that keep you entertained, can definitely take up hours. Grabbing your phone the first thing as soon as you wake up can hinder you from completing an important task.

Committing to a morning routine where you start the day with activities that won't take a huge chunk of time helps you have enough time to do things that are on your to-do list.

So instead of staying an hour or more in bed scrolling away at your phone screen, you should partake in doing minor yet productive activities such as gratitude journalling and making your bed.

Benefit #3: Reduces stress

via: Unsplash / Angelo Pantazis

Having enough time to accomplish your work and the demands of the day helps reduce stress and bouts of anxiety. You won't be always in a hurry, and maybe you'll find yourself having a bit of leisure time before you start your day. This gives you more emotional and mental capacity to participate in further relaxation with friends and other loved ones.

Benefit #4: Improved cognitive function

via: Unsplash / Parabol

Excellent sleep quality and low stress levels both contribute to good mental health. While enhanced functionality in your mind is essential to stay productive and on top of your daily tasks, a clear head is important for peace within yourself.

Benefit #5: Develop healthy habits

via: Unsplash / Gabin Vallet

A popular saying talks about how habits become a permanent part of your life if you continue doing them for a month. And it's really true if you want to change your lifestyle. Adopting and sticking to a productive morning routine can inspire you to incorporate more mindful and healthy habits into your daily life.

How Can You Develop a Healthy Morning Ritual

via: Unsplash / freestocks

Rome wasn't built in a day; so does developing healthy morning habits. To give your daily routine a makeover, you need to know certain factors that can make or break the change you want to commit to.

#1: Know your body clocks.

via: Unsplash / Laura Chouette

Getting familiar with your circadian rhythm or allowing yourself to develop one that adheres to your schedule best is a key factor in changing your routines for your waking hours.

#2: Start having quality sleep.

via: Unsplash / Kinga Cichewicz

As mentioned before, quality sleep improves your energy, mood, and your mental capacity to perform your daily duties. As much as possible, sleep for at least 6 hours and take naps within the day. The idea is to get as much good sleep as you can.

#3: Plan your next day's morning activity.

via: Unsplash / Svitlana

Organizing your day ahead brings comfort, especially when you're good at adhering to your schedule. Why not incorporate a few mindful morning routine ideas to develop good habits when you wake up? You can prepare for the next day by assembling an outfit or making some overnight oats.

#4: Make your morning habits more fun.

via: Unsplash / Jenny Hill

There are plenty of ways you can do to add smiles and laughter to your mornings. For example, using a habit tracker when journaling is another thing that can make your AM routine fun. It's satisfying to see checklists getting filled up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have any more questions about the ideal morning routine for a productive day? Here are the most asked questions that I'll answer.

What is the best time to go to bed?

Ideally, you should be in bed around 10 hours before your first appointment the next day. Sleeping at a set time is something everyone can hope for. However, certain jobs might require you to work split hours, not only the regular 9 to 5.

What can I do instead of grabbing my phone in the morning?

You can do plenty of things, including making your bed, fixing yourself a hot cup of morning coffee or some healthy breakfast, reading the morning pages, and meditation. You can also just do some morning hygiene care, work out, or engage in another physical activity. Any other activity is a good idea and can be a breath of fresh air.

What is the best time to wake up in the morning?

Similar to the first question, it's ideal to wake up at least an hour or two before your first appointment of the day. This gives you ample time to get ready and prepare yourself for your daily schedule. Don't hit the snooze button often.

Is waking up early good for you?

Many studies say that waking up early is great for your overall health and productivity. This is mainly due to the sunlight you can get in your system. Sunlight also gives you positive energy. Another good thing about waking up early is that an early riser can enjoy more hours of the day; you might even have time for brunch.

It all depends on what you feel like doing as long as you incorporate these five things in your mornings.

Do you need a good list of things to do on a rainy day? We've got just the thing.

I've written many guides on what you can do as a family, so naturally, I'd love to provide ideas when you need fun things to do on a rainy day. As an accomplished expert published on Her Campus and The Odyssey Online, you can trust me to give you only the best activities.

Let's get started!

3 Fun Activities To Do With Your Family On A Rainy Day

via: Unsplash / Rod Long

Everybody loves the warm, sunny weather, especially if you have some bonding time to spend with your family. However, sometimes unexpected things happen, and the rain comes pouring down on your plans. I know how frustrating it can get when you've made schedules and prepared all the stuff you need for all of it to go to waste.

That's why we've compiled a list of fun rainy day activities you can try with your family and friends to still have fun despite the weather.

#1: Scavenger hunt, anyone?

via: Unsplash / Annie Spratt

Since you'll stay home, why not make it interesting and plan a scavenger hunt your kids will enjoy? Make use of your space and check all the interesting corners where you can put the items. Make it more elaborate and form a story around the objects to include in the hunt. The player with the most things wins a prize, like a brownie or a milkshake.

#2: Am I hearing you right?

via: Unsplash / 🇸🇮 Janko Ferlič

Have you ever tried to host a lip sync battle? If not, this may be the best time to do it. Challenge your kids and other family members to choose an iconic pop song and have them put on a show. You can go all out and let them choose costumes and props. Then, if you want to find unbiased judges, Facebook is just a click away. Take videos of the performances to post on your feed. Have your family and friends vote on the best output, and the person with the most votes wins.

#3: Mom, have you seen the baking soda?

via: Unsplash / Jon Tyson

Science experiments are always fun to do, especially when you do it with someone who knows their stuff. Look up some cool and easy DIY experiments on the Internet and check your cupboard and cleaning cabinet for the materials you'll need. Most likely, you'll have them lying around. Also, ensure your kids are old enough to appreciate and participate in the experiments. It will be a waste of time and effort if they aren't age-appropriate.

Entertaining your kids and family members should be a piece of cake, as long as you give them the right motivation and keep it interesting. The key here is variation. If there have been multiple rainy days, change the activities occasionally to keep the kids interested. Have fun!

6 Benefits Of Spending Quality Time With Family

via: Unsplash / Helena Lopes

I understand how difficult it must be to make indoor activities as fun as outdoor activities. When plans are interrupted, it can be really stressful to compromise and think of another option. However, nothing beats the bond shared between family members. Most people would choose to spend time with family, even if the situation isn't ideal. If you're feeling a little discouraged because of the circumstances, remember that there are always good things to look forward to when you bond with your family.

#1: It builds children's self-esteem and self-confidence.

via: Unsplash / Amelia Wahyuningtias

There are many things that can help boost a child's self-esteem, but one of the most influential factors is the support system they have at home. When you foster a good and safe home environment, it creates a space for the child to be open about their feelings and communicative about their experiences with classmates, friends, and even the other adults in their lives. When you spend more time with your kids, it helps you learn about their likes and dislikes and who they really are within.

When you take them to an escape room, for instance, you will see them either thrive or succumb to the problem-solving element of the game. When you go to a museum, you will discover if they are inclined toward natural history and interactive exhibits or if they easily get bored with the absence of physical activity. Learning about what your child likes helps you support them better, which eventually builds a solid foundation for them to be confident around other people.

#2: It strengthens family bonds.

via: Pexels / Elly Fairytale

An indoor activity almost forces the family to spend time together, and once you spend most of your days together, it really helps form strong bonds. Let's say you do rainy day activity #1 from our list above. Preparing the stuff for the scavenger hunt takes a lot of time and energy from the get-go.

You can make it as complicated and personalized as you want so that the game isn't as easy and doesn't end quickly. Cooking and eating together are also common rainy day things you can do as a family. If you don't usually do that together, then maybe the bad weather is a silver lining you can take advantage of.

#3: It develops positive behaviors.

via: Unsplash / Suhash Villuri

If your family lives in a big city like Los Angeles or New York City, you will most like live fast and busy lives with packed schedules every day. Choosing this life usually entails sacrificing the quality time you spend with your family. It makes you stressed out, tired, and unwilling to make an effort to do stuff with them.

However, it will make you even more exhausted when you find out your children are closed off from the world and prefer to do everything else just as long as it doesn't involve their family. Making time for each other reinforces the love and kindness you give each other, which usually also translates to their treatment of other people. Listening to each other's life stories, even if it's just for afternoon tea, makes all the difference in your general mood.

You will see that the best things in life are the simplest ones. One of those is having a special bond with your family.

#4: Quality family time improves a child's academic performance.

via: Unsplash / Shubham Sharan

Similar to having self-confidence, improving your child's academic performance stems from having a good support system at home. Paying attention to your child's progress in school is a great place to start when you want to increase their productivity and learning. If you're staying in on a rainy afternoon, you should check if there's anything they're having a hard time with and see what you can do to help them through that.

It would also help when you take them to educational spots like museums that can foster a liking for science and history. In fact, if you're living in Central Florida, you can visit the Orlando Science Center and have them check out all the indoor attractions for viewing. You'll never know if you have a scientist in your home if you don't introduce them to these places at least once in their lives.

#5: It encourages communication.

via: Pexels / Nicole Michalou

Sharing your life with your family, especially those moments that you don't usually speak about to other people, strengthens your trust and loyalty to one another. Parents typically have difficulty talking to their children because they haven't made their home a safe space for everyone to open up. It's important to remember that your children are people too.

They have feelings, and they're allowed to feel them, no matter how innocent and trivial it may seem to you as an adult. When you constantly pay attention to your children and let them express their inner feelings, it will be easy for them to share intimate details about their lives with you. They will know that you are ready to listen and empathize with whatever they're going through.

#6: It creates empathy, love, and kindness.

via: Unsplash / Jehu Christan

A simple board game night or a day purely dedicated to arcade games and junk food can make a huge difference to how strong your family bond can be. Quality time usually doesn't have to be an elaborate well thought-out plan. Even just having coffee on your porch and enjoying mother nature together can provide the right scene and mood for you to open up with each other.

Your child or spouse may be experiencing something that they're not sure you'd want to hear, so maybe that can be the way for them to share their hardships with you. When you show your family that you have empathy for them when they need you the most, they will often show the same love and kindness to other family members and even their friends. It helps foster an environment where everyone feels the love they deserve.

Bonus: Other Ways To Strengthen Family Relationships

Family relationships are simple for some but usually complicated for most people. There are unique characteristics that each family has, and sometimes those traits create friction and conflict among the members of the family. That's why you need to make an effort to improve and strengthen your family bond, no matter the circumstance.

1. Go to an amusement park together.

via: Unsplash / Ian Romie Ona

Let's say you've been dying to visit Universal Studios with your family but just can't find the time to do it. Take this as a sign to spend a weekend together and have fun at an amusement park with your family. It lets you bond with each other and find out what stuff your family enjoys together. Universal Orlando is a good option if you're nearby.

2. Visit famous food parks or restaurants together.

You may be scrolling on your social media and happen to come across a restaurant that comes highly recommended by many of your friends. You can use that opportunity to try it together and give your own "reviews" of what you liked and didn't like. There are many good food places in New Orleans that you would probably enjoy. If you're near the area, you can go ahead and check those out.

3. See a play or musical together.

via: Unsplash / Agustin Biagi Vincenti

If you're into performing arts, you can book tickets to see your favorite play or musical with your family and let them know what you like about it. They may enjoy it with you or find it incredibly boring, but it's still a chance to share a side of yours that they may not fully understand yet.

4. Go to a museum together.

via: Unsplash / Michał Parzuchowski

You may enjoy looking at contemporary art, and you want to share that with your family. Book a trip to see your favorite American art pieces in an art gallery nearby, and be an unofficial "curator" for your family when you visit. You can share facts about the artwork and the artist.

Tell them about what features of the art spoke to you and piqued your interest. They'll see your deeper side and discover how you interpret different pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

via: Unsplash / Brett Jordan

Are you still concerned about what to do on a rainy day and how it can help strengthen your family bond? These frequently asked questions may very well be the answer to your queries.

What develops a strong bond in a family?

Quality time, communication, and compassion are the strongest factors that can affect your family's strength. You will notice that these have nothing to do with your social status and financial situation. Sometimes, it's the free things that will have the most impact on your family life. They are also the most difficult to perpetuate, so it's important that you do it constantly with them.

How can you build a healthy bond with the family?

Being open-minded is one of the most helpful things you can offer your family. When they know they can come to you with anything and you're willing to hear their side, it promotes a healthy and safe environment at home. They won't hide things from you because they know you have an open mind and won't judge them without listening to them first.

Why is it important to be close to your family?

Being close to your family is important because they know who you are and will be the people you can turn to when life hands you difficult situations. Granted, some people are not blessed with a good support system, and they need to find a family outside their bloodline. However, some people have parents and family members that try their hardest to create a strong bond with each other. You should cherish and love these kinds of family members because they will most likely support you even when you are not your best self.

Whether you're thinking about your biological or chosen family, you need to allow some time for them and give them your undivided attention when they need it. You will soon find out they'd be willing to do the same for you because you love and care for them.

Want to know how to tell someone you are not interested? This post is for you.

Rejecting someone can be a tough decision to make. Fortunately, as a relationship expert featured in places like HerNorm and Ideapod, I've covered breakups and disinterest. I'll teach you how to say no nicely and how not to be a nice guy who finishes last.

Are you ready? Let's begin.

How To Tell Someone You Are Not Interested Nicely

via: Pexels / Mizuno K

Sometimes, it doesn't work out between you and someone else. Maybe the romantic interest isn't there, relationship problems arise, or you aren't a good match. If that's the case, the right thing to do is tell them you aren't interested.

However, there's no easy way to handle rejection. You could seriously harm a person's feelings, even if you are a Mr. Nice Guy. If you want to learn how to tell someone you're not interested nicely, here are some helpful tips on broaching the subject in the gentlest manner possible.

Step #1: Be clear with yourself about the reasons why you are not interested.

via: Pexels / Andrea Piacquadio

Before you voice your disinterest, you should make it clear to yourself the reason why you're not interested. The last thing you want to do is cause someone emotional pain by giving them a half-baked answer. Is it because there's no love or romantic feelings between you two?

Was it formerly a romantic relationship, and now it's become a toxic relationship? If you want it to be clear to them you're not interested, it should be clear to yourself first.

Step #2: Consider what you are going to say and how you are planning to say it.

via: Pexels / Chinmay Singh

Once you've sorted out your feelings, it's time for you to figure out what you want to say and how you will say it. Are you burning that bridge completely, or do you want to stay long-time friends with them? Carefully consider what outcome you want... and how you will break the news to them.

If you still want to remain their good friend, try not to use aggressive language that will upset them. If you've done all that, then all that's left to do is begin that conversation with them without breaking eye contact. Good luck.

Step #3: Stop giving them false hope that you enjoy being with them.

via: Pexels / Pavel Danilyuk

If there's no love or romantic feelings left in the relationship, don't give them false hope. Don't lead them on, and don't pretend that you still enjoy spending time with them. It will only invite misunderstandings and create more relationship problems.

If you have no romantic interest in them any longer, tell them immediately that you're not interested.

Step #4: Be ready for the fact that you might hurt them.

via: Pexels / Andrea Piacquadio

Telling someone you're not interested isn't going to be a good time for them. You have to be prepared for the fact that you might hurt a person's feelings. If you're reluctant to tell them straight because of that, you should also know that you'll inflict worse emotional pain on them if you continue dating them when there's no interest left.

Telling them immediately will result in the least painful outcome for you both.

Step #5: Think of the best method to tell them about your disinterest.

via: Pexels / Mikhail Nilov

Just as important as the words you're going to say is how you say them. You want the message to be clear and concise, with no chance of misunderstanding. Some people are better at articulating through text, so text messages or social media can be a good avenue for telling them the truth.

Others are better at speaking it out, so telling them in person or through a phone call may suit them better. Whatever the case, choose how to get your message across the best.

Step #6: Be straightforward and as honest as you can.

via: Pexels / Tima Miroshnichenko

Honesty is the best policy. Trying to dance around the subject will complicate things for both of you. When you're about to tell them you're not interested, you should clearly and plainly state what you feel about them.

However, just because you should be honest doesn't mean you should communicate things unfiltered. If you care about their feelings, try to say your piece in the gentlest way possible, so you don't hurt them too deeply.

Step #7: Be firm with your decision.

via: Pexels / cottonbro

If you're going to tell them that you're not interested, be aware there's no going back. If you're about to stop pursuing a romantic relationship with them, you have to be fully decided on what you're about to do. So, make a choice and stick with it - trying to go back after all that will only result in pain. You can only do this once.

When Is The Right Time To Reject Someone

via: Pexels / Dinielle De Veyra

The words you say and how you say them are important, but the timing is also crucial. Rejecting someone outright is usually the last resort, and because of that, it's something that you can meaningfully do only once. So, before you consider rejecting someone, you should consider the factors and timing of your current relationship.

1. When you only see them as an option

via: Pexels / Andres Ayrton

If you haven't decided yet on who to pursue, everyone you meet can be a valid option for dating. But if you only see that person as an option and don't harbor romantic feelings for them, it may be time to say that they're not your type. If the only thing you can say about them is, "They're nice... and... um." then perhaps it is time to let them go gently.

2. You are not comfortable around them

via: Pexels / Kampus Production

If something about them makes you uncomfortable, it can be wise to reject them. After all, you don't want to be in a relationship with someone who gives you the wrong kind of shivers. If that person gives you bad vibes, then it will be good for you to tell them no, you're not interested, for the interest of your own comfort.

3. You are not feeling any connection

via: Pexels / George Pak

If you just aren't feeling anything strongly about them, even if you've possibly known them for a while... Then maybe you should remain just friends. Love is a chemical reaction, and if they don't get your chemicals flowing, then maybe it just isn't going to work out.

4. You don't feel like spending time with them

via: Pexels / cottonbro

If you spent time with them and didn't like it, then there's little chance that you will want to spend any additional time with them. If being with them is dull or doesn't excite you or make you feel glad, then there's no need to force yourself to continue. Just tell them plainly that it isn't fun to hang out with them.

5. You like someone else

via: Pexels / Mikhail Nilov

If you already like someone else, but there's someone else vying for your affections, then it's best to tell the third wheel that you're interested in someone else entirely. If you're fully set on someone else, make sure to say it to them early so they aren't hurt badly by being too invested.

Why Is Rejecting Somebody Hard

via: Pexels / Masha Raymers

Rejection isn't easy, not for the one who's rejecting or the one being rejected. It can be seriously damaging to the mental health of the people involved. That's why rejection is often the last resort for a person to take. Do you know why? I'll tell you why.

Reason #1: It takes a lot of courage to do it.

via: Pexels / Marcelo Dias

Rejection can change your relationship's dynamic or even sever it entirely. It's not something you can do lightly, and you can only do it once. Because of that, it takes a lot of courage to reject someone.

Reason #2: It can push them away.

via: Pexels / Nati Carvalho

Even with the best intentions in mind and you're most carefully considered words, the other person can sometimes take it badly. In the worst-case scenario, they might end their relationship with you entirely. Because of that, there's no simple and clean way to reject someone.

Reason #3: They might hate you for it.

via: Unsplash / Roman Holoschchuk

Even if they end up leaving you, it's still a more positive outcome than the alternative - they may end up hating you for rejecting them. Rejection is taking their feelings and saying no to them: they may feel like they were scorned. You must be prepared for this outcome when rejecting someone, even if you don't want it to happen.

Reason #4: It can hurt you, too.

via: Unsplash / Külli Kittus

In the ideal situation, you don't particularly harbor feelings towards the person you reject. Sometimes, you have to reject someone you care for a good reason - even still, that doesn't mean it is painless for you. If there were some lingering attachments to the other person that just couldn't work out, it also hurts to reject them, even if you have a good reason to.

8 Right Things To Say

via: Pexels / Alex Green

If you're truly dead set on saying you're not interested in them, you'll need to be armed with the right things to say. Knowing what to say to a girl can also help prepare you for the act. So, before you talk to them and tell them the truth, consider practicing some of the right things you should say.

"You're a wonderful person, but I can't act like we're compatible when we're not."

Softening the blow by saying they're a great person can make them more receptive to what you're trying to say. By saying this, you're saying the blame doesn't lie with them, and it just couldn't work out due to chance or something else.

"I don't think we're on the same page, and I don't want to waste any more of your time. You deserve to meet someone special who is a perfect match for you."

Wishing them good luck in their own love life is a way of communicating that there are no hard feelings between you two. If you two just aren't on the right page, then there's no need for it to blow out of proportion. It can just be a simple disagreement that results in no pain for you.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not ready for anything serious at this time."

When you say this, you should be completely honest about it. If you're just not prepared for anything serious, then communicating that to the other person will hopefully help them understand. Saying it like this makes it less like a full-on rejection and more like postponing it until you're ready to commit. Only say this if you still want to pursue a romantic relationship in the future, rather than say you're disinterested entirely.

"I'm sorry for disappointing you, but I think it's best for us to stop seeing each other because I don't want to lead you on. I hope you find your special someone."

Blaming yourself makes you seem humbler and more melancholy about the whole deal, which can trigger some pity from the person you're rejecting. It's far better than blaming them, which can seriously hurt them.

"I appreciate your attention - I really do. But I feel like I am not really the right person for you."

Saying you aren't a good match for them makes it, so neither of you is at fault. It was just happenstance that things couldn't work out. That way, you can move on without blaming the other, even if there are lingering attachments between you two.

"Thanks for giving me some of your time, but I want to live my own life right now, and I do not want to have a relationship just yet."

It's completely understandable for people to value their own personal time - something that, hopefully, the other person understands. If you say this, hopefully, the other person will wish you good luck with what you're trying to do.

"To be honest with you, it has been fun hanging out as friends. However, I really don't feel a romantic connection between us, and I'd really appreciate it if we can still keep our friendship."

If you still want to stay good friends with them, you should tell them directly. While no one likes being friend-zoned, no one wants to lose a friendship. Communicating that you'd still like to keep in touch softens the blow and can still result in you becoming great friends.

"It's hard to say this, but I have to be honest and put myself first and not continue this relationship."

You should be prepared to come clean about why you're doing this in the absolute last resort. No matter why you reject them, if the relationship is not healthy for you, you should state it clearly to them. If they're a good person, they'll understand. If they're not, then it was for the best that you ended the relationship this way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rejecting someone is tricky, and there's no universally easy way to accomplish it. You can only do it once per person, so you have to make the words and sentiment count. If you're still unsure about the best way how to reject someone or about the rejection itself, here are some frequently asked questions I've answered for you.

Does rejecting someone make you a bad person?

Rejection isn't all black-and-white whose fault it depends entirely on the situation and circumstances. Everyone has a different reason for rejecting someone else. Because of that, rejecting someone doesn't automatically make you the bad guy. It just means that you're trying to protect someone's interest - yours or theirs.

Should you always turn down someone's attention immediately to avoid further consequences in the end?

It differs by the situation, but it's generally a good idea to reject someone early on. Consequences can mount the longer a loveless relationship continues... consequences that become inescapable at a certain point. For your sake, it's better to nip the bud early to prevent irreparable damage.

Why are some people incapable of telling someone how they feel, yet they still talk to you every day, knowing you're not interested in friendship?

For some people, coming clean about their true feelings is difficult. There are several possible factors why they can't come clean - maybe they like parts of the relationship but not others, or maybe their conscience is telling them not to hurt the other person. Whatever the case, it's up to them to one day tell the truth, for their own sakes, if anything.

Is there any best way to say no to someone?

There's an ideal way to say no, but there's no "best" way to say no. You can be as kind and selfless as possible when saying no, but it won't always go as well as you'd like it. You have to accept that it will deal some damage, but it's a necessary evil you must commit out of self-interest.

We were up late last night watching Alpha M’s video about how to be irresistible to women, and we thought that we could actually add some more tricks to that.

So, here we are.

7 Psychological Tricks To Be Irresistible

Since we really want to help you out, we will also tell you the number 1 thing you should avoid doing if you want to become irresistible.

Let’s get started.

7. No Lame Name

via: Pexels / ROMAN ODINTSOV

One psychological trick to be irresistible to women is to actually say their name as often as you can in your conversation. This is because hearing your own name is music to your ears, so when a girl hears you say her name, it makes it hard for her to resist you.

When you say her name while you talk to her, it makes everything more personal. It makes you more real to her.

Why?

Because there is no way, you have talked to another girl, let alone another person, in the same way. Your conversation is unique to only both of you, and that is something. That’s how to get a girl to like you - make her feel that she’s unique.

However, be careful because since a name makes everything personal, you should never get her name wrong. Pay attention to the spelling and pronunciation of her name.

And, of course, you should never call her by a different name. Doing so would lose you all the points you’ve gained with her, and that’s certainly not how to impress a girl, I’m telling you.

6. Talking Hands

This psychological trick to be irresistible to women is also one of the body language tricks to make her chase you. This is none other than being expressive, as can be when you’re talking.

How do you do that? Well, the easiest way is to actually use your hands to elaborate on what you’re saying. Be animated because that’s how to make a girl like you.

Don’t look like a stiff stick in your seat. Use your hands to talk. When you do this, you are making your conversation lively, showing her that you are interested and invested in what you two are talking about.

When you are moving while talking, it also means that you are engaged and you’re passionate about what you’re saying. And guys, there is nothing more irresistible to women than a man who knows how to be passionate about work, life, or a hobby.

Now, do you wanna know how else you can show her that you are passionate? Well, you can do so by learning more about body language.

5. Smell Well

By now, it is a very obvious fact that how you smell definitely impacts attraction. Indeed, our noses play a very vital role in how attractive and, yes, how irresistible we are.

Well, it turns out that science has something to do with it. In an article published on CNN’s website, an evolutionary psychologist at the University at Albany in New York, Gordon Gallup, said that body odor can influence how attractive you are to someone because it holds clues to your health.

Just as men find women with wide hips attractive because it is associated with childbearing and health, we are drawn to people who smell good because this may mean that they are healthy.

So really, what am I trying to point out here? The psychological trick to be irresistible here is to make sure that you smell good because doing so puts you ahead of the attractiveness race.

4. Leave a Trail

Okay, guys, admit it. We are all in awe when it comes to mystery. And while being an open book is a great thing sometimes, leaving a little mystery is the best way to go, especially when trying to make any girl fall in love with you.

To be irresistible to women, one of the psychological tricks is to leave a trail behind you that will make her want to get to know you more. Don’t tell or show her everything there is to know about you during the early stages of knowing each other.

Now, be sure that you are not overdoing this because you might come off as very reserved and seem distant, which will not help you at all in your quest to be irresistible. But you know what else would help you?

It is actually knowing how to make any girl fall in love with you.

3. Positive Peter

Yet another psychological trick to be irresistible is to try to give off a positive vibe most of the time. Take note that I said most of the time because everyone has their bad days.

However, I'm trying to say here that you shouldn’t be that pessimistic person that she dreads seeing. Be the optimistic influence on her so that you’ll be someone she’s looking forward to talking to and being with... and not someone she avoids.

This is how to be more attractive. When you are this kind of person, she’ll long to be in your company; believe me, that feels good. Plus, we already have plenty of negative things around us that we definitely don’t need another person to add to it, right?

2. Shine The Light

Another one of the psychological tricks that will help you learn how to attract women and ultimately make a girl crazy for you is to make them think that you are not an insecure person and the best way to do this is to shine the light on others… In other words, don’t be afraid to praise other people or give them compliments.

This is because you can only do this when you’re not afraid that other people will look better than you. On the contrary, you are comfortable highlighting the great features of others because you’re so confident about yourself that you don’t mind if others take the spotlight.

That, my friends, is how you make a girl crazy for you.

1. Get Moving

The last and probably the easiest thing you can do to be irresistible is to have a life. Have a life outside of her. Contrary to popular belief, a woman doesn’t want you to make her your world because, if you’re able to do that, that only means that you aren’t doing anything with your life at all, and that is no way to be irresistible.

If anything, this will make her run from you because while she’ll love the attention at first, in the long run, she won’t be able to reciprocate because she’ll be busy with other things in her life. She’ll then get suffocated, and it won’t end well.

Yup, that’s where her mind goes when she sees that you just spend your days and weeks on your couch doing nothing. So, get moving. Do things, get a hobby, at the very least.

We were inspired by tip top’s video about the psychological facts about men, so we decided to make one about women.

Since we really want you to know about the psychological facts about girls, we’ll also tell you the one psychological myth about women that you should stop believing.

7 Psychological Facts About Girls

It’s for the best. Well, I can’t say I’m not excited.

Let’s start!

7. Maybe It’s Intuition

Have you ever thought about how women might be mind readers? I’m sure you’ve had a woman in your life that made you think we’re mind readers.

We might think they’re just magical like that, but it’s just their intuition. It’s biological, after all.

Women are better at reading nonverbal cues, that’s according to a study in the journal psychological science. That means they already know what you need and want before you can even say it.

This is one of the best psychological facts about women because it explains a lot! Admit it, you’re not the best when it comes to how to know if a girl likes you.

You still have to come up with the best questions to ask a girl you like before you can decipher. However, women are much better at it.

Maybe it’s the years of women having to take care of a child and figure out what the baby wants. But more than that, women use their intuition to tell what their partners, bosses, friends, and even strangers, are planning and thinking of.

So the next time you’re with your crush, maybe you can compliment her for intuition instead of thinking she can read minds! She’ll appreciate it.

And you know what else she’ll appreciate? When you ask her the right open-ended questions.

6. Taking Risks

Did you know that as men grow older, they have an increased interest in settling down and relationships? However, it’s the other way around for us women.

Women take more risks as they mature. Women are more motivated to help others outside of her usual friends and family once they are more mature.

This is all according to Louann Brizendine. Women are more likely to risk conflict the more they get older. They’re more open to doing more for themselves and their career. They'll probably tick off more on their bucket list in their older years.

5. It’s Different Here

Studies over the last 10 years have shown that there’s a vast difference between male and female brains, especially when it comes to processing pain and anxiety.

According to Debra Bangasser of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, female brains are more responsive to small amounts of stress, and on top of that, female brains are also less able to adjust to high levels of stress.

That’s why it’s so important that you know the sweet things to do for a girl because it helps ease the anxiety and stress. Understanding this difference in brain processing can be a way on how to attract women.

If you understand them deeper and do things to help them with this, they’ll be more comfortable with you. So what are you waiting for?

4. That’s Not The Way

Fight or flight. This always happens to us when we’re in dangerous and stressful situations. It’s a very basic human reaction.

However, according to research from the University of California, women have different ways of reacting to stress or any threat. Instead of flight or fight, women respond in a “tend or befriend” way.

This means that instead of leaving the situation or resorting to physical aggression, women respond to a threat by forming strategic alliances. Sometimes even manipulating circumstances and alliances in their favor.

This means a woman befriending you or tending to you may not be one of the signs a girl likes you, maybe she sees the situation as a threat. Either way, this response from women doesn’t necessarily mean that they aren’t aggressive. They just show their aggression in different ways, like manipulating situations in order to come out of them safely.

3. No, Thanks

via: Pexels / Pavel Danilyuk

A woman can be more easily turned off compared to men, especially when it comes to her sex drive. Sometimes you’ve probably asked is she into you because she probably always refuses you. But, worry not, that’s not always the case.

This is one of the most important facts about girls that you have to take note of. For a woman to get in the mood, there are so many things that need to be considered. A woman refuses a man’s advances because she’s upset, or she hasn’t had a good day, or simply because it feels too hot. The point is that women can be easily turned off even with the little things.

It’s because a lot of factors take a toll on her sex drive.

It’s even funny because according to Louann Brizendine, “For guys, foreplay is everything that happens three minutes before. For women, it’s everything that happens 24 hours beforehand.”

2. Recall

There’s so much research about this, but we just have to accept that women are better at retrieving information from long-term memory. Do you know what this means?

Yes, it’s just right that they’re able to remember specific things from years ago. They’re really better at that than us. This is just one of those facts about girls you need to know.

Don’t judge her or be annoyed at her the next time she brings up something from a long time ago. She can’t help that she’s able to remember a lot.

Women’s brains are different that way. Instead, learn how to impress a girl by accepting this fact and complimenting her on this skill. It’s a great skill, alright!

More than remembering memories from years ago, women are also better at fine motor coordination than men. These are just some things that set them apart.

1. No Response Is A Response

via: Pexels / Arina Krasnikova

Trust me when I say women hate conflict. But there’s one thing women hate more than conflict and that’s someone who doesn’t respond, or if someone has a blank expression.

Since women rely on nonverbal cues, it can be very unbearable for them to get a blank expression or no response from someone. They’d rather receive a negative response than a blank one. Men don’t go to as great lengths as women do to try and get a response.

We often would get annoyed when they do, but think about it. It’s hard for them to not get any kind of response from you.

If you get a blank expression all the time, you’ll never know about the signs your crush likes you. It’s hard to decipher people as it is, it’s even harder if you don’t get any form of response. That’s why saying even a simple yes or no is one of the habits women love.

You don’t have to be elaborate, you just have to respond. There’s nothing more unbearable for a woman than a blank expression or no response. If you’re lucky enough, she won’t have a blank expression and you’ll see if she likes you.

One Myth About Women

via: Pexels / Katerina Holmes

We’ll now share with you the one myth about women that you should stop believing right now. There are a lot of myths about women where gender stereotypes root from, but one myth that you should stop believing now is that women are more emotional than men.

This isn’t true.

Men can be described as more emotional than women, too. It always depends on the emotion, how and where it is expressed, and a whole lot of factors.

The truth is, there’s no basis for saying that women are more emotional. Men and women really have different ways of expressing their emotions, but that doesn’t mean that one gender is more emotional than the other.

In Conclusion
