puts off
Saves for later
Puts off means to delay or postpone: I keep putting off going to the dentist.
It also means to cause aversion or discomfort—something that puts you off repels or discourages you: His arrogance really puts me off.
To put someone off is to make excuses or stall them: She put him off with vague promises.
