i appreciate that you have expressed interest in me, but i do not feel the same way. i hope you understand that this decision is a reflection of your intelligence and worth, not just a matter of personal preference.

I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel the same way. I understand and respect your decision. I'll step back and give you the space you need, but I hope we can still be friends in the future.
