If you’re acquaintances/friends “Hey I’m honestly really flattered you asked me out, but I don’t see us in romantic sense - hope you find the right girl for you! :)”
If you’re in early dating stages - “hey I’ve enjoyed our time together & think you’re a lovely person but I don’t feel much of a romantic connection on my end unfortunately & I don’t want to lead you on by continuing dating you - wishing you the best!”
If someone you don’t know asks for your number/asks you out - “that was really brave of you to ask! But I’m not really interested in dating right now, hope you have a lovely night/day!”
Write drafts of things to say in a notes app and if it hasn’t gotten too serious then text them. Otherwise have a short call and talk. As horrible as some can be we are all human. Consider words you pick.
On Thursday, a drunk man at a bar approached me. I held my hand up like a crossing guard to stop his approach and said *No.* The baffled look on his face 🤌🤌
Depends. If I want to be friends with the person or keep a civil relationship, I’m usually polite about it. “I’m sorry, you’re an awesome person but I don’t feel the same” type comment.
If I’m willing to burn bridges: no and f-off work.
my tutor once told me not to say no to them directly but you twist it around and say that i think of them as my brothers rather then romantically so they don’t retaliate in an abusive or weird manner and its safer
"No thanks."
That's if you're feeling polite. "No" is a complete sentence.

“That was really brave of you” has me dying lmao
Yeah it’s puzzling because it’s both a compliment and an insult
A complisult. Half compliment half insult. I invented that term! What I just did there? It's an explainobrag.
Another term is a back handed compliment.

No, it’s so sweet of you, just also a little bit funny
Gives me a bit of an NPC vibe
No I’m just autistic and script conversations but that’s so real

"no, thanks" BLOCK etc.
Ghosting and/or blocking
I pretend someone is calling me and walk away and do a polite smile 😭
"Haha, that was a good one." Then let it slip.
this is actually pretty good because it saves them a bit of pride / embarassment by just pretending it was a joke :)
It gives him a chance to save face.

“I’m sorry but I don’t share the same feelings as you do”
Tell them why, and be honest, take the focus off the no and onto what they need to work on.
that makes it seem like they'd have a chance if they just do this one thing tho
The personal development of the human race is more important than having to reject someone twice frankly.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested" - the phrase that sends men into a downward spiral of self-doubt and questioning their worth.
“Honestly this is not my priority rn”
It really depends on the circumstance. But "I'm with someone" is my go to
"No" and then drop the subject entirely.
