Any decision about dating is yours alone.
You may need more time to heal from the loss and are clear about not wanting to date at this time. But you may change your mind down the road.
Or you may be clear that you are definitely not interested in another romantic relationship.
Whatever your choice, it’s a personal matter and others need to respect that.
Here’s some suggested ways to respond in these situations:
1) "Thanks for your concern but I’m really not interested (at this time)."
2) "While I appreciate your concern, my dating days are over - and I’m really okay with that."
Keep in mind however, that after losing a partner, it’s important to eventually form new (not romantic) relationships that will provide friendship and support.
