Cultural Note
'Odrzucić' can feel harsh — it means to throw back or cast aside. In dating contexts, Poles might soften a rejection with phrases like 'nie jestem zainteresowana' (I'm not interested) or 'widzę cię tylko jako przyjaciela' (I see you only as a friend) rather than directly saying they're rejecting someone.
