While it's a good idea to try to get along with people from all walks of life, even those you don't much like, there are times when letting someone know that you don't like them is better than pretending otherwise. For example, you might need to tell someone who approaches you while you're out that you don't want to date them. You may also need to inform someone that you don't want to develop a friendship. You may even want to break up with someone who's been your friend for a long time. In such cases, you'll need to make it clear that you'll never want to be more than polite from a distance. | While it's a good idea to try to get along with people from all walks of life, even those you don't much like, there are times when letting someone know that you don't like them is better than pretending otherwise.
