NOM

Then we just sort of stared at each other for a moment. He didn't see it coming, I was waiting for him to speak, and there was just silence.

So I spoke again, "I need to decline at this time." Then I waited and rephrased, "I need to turn this down."

The man was absolutely dumbfounded. Then, out of nowhere he sort of opened his arms, leans back in his chair, folds his arms again, leans forward and asks, "Is there something you need to tell me?", half accusing, half confused.

I expressed my honest reasons why I didn't want to do it. Too much time commitment and I need to focus on my family and work right now. He said to think about it and get back to him. So I did and sent a text confirming my no and that was it.

Thanks but no thanks really works.

So what's the acceptable amount of time one should wait before sending the text? Because I'm thinking before I leave the room might be a be a bit too soon, or do you think that would be OK?
