That seems curt and dismissive to me, like something I would say if a stranger called me on the phone and asked for money. I am not uninterested in watching movies, hiking in the woods, and especially eating dinner, and stuff like that. I just dont think I would enjoy doing those things more with this other person there asking me questions and trying to get my clothes off and everything

The fact that you're afraid to have an earnest discussion with someone who obviously knows you're picking up on her (his?) signals makes you a huge bitch, forum user a bay.

"Hang out" with her anyway. In my experience, getting time alone with me solves this kind of problem, and at worst, you get to watch a girl eat. Hope she's a fatty.

Dinner date. Buy a little black box, and some fine champagne, lit candles and whatnot. At the right time, go down on one knee and present her the box, asking "would you make me the happiest man alive?" She answers "yes, god yes" and opens the box, revealing a little handwritten note reading "by leaving me alone"

Lets say there is someone who wants to spend some time with you one on one and it is obvious that their intentions are to date you and probably to have sex with you as well. But the problem is, you just arent "feeling it". How do you let them know you are not into it in a way that will hurt their feelings as little as possible

once in school a girl had a crush on me and invited me into an empty classroom where she had written "son of rodney I love you" on the blackboard

I never talked to her much before and didnt find her attractive at all, so I just shook my head and left

in retrospect it was a dick way of reacting, but anyway it worked since she never really talk to me again so maybe try that op

Say that you are flattered but are not interested in them in that way. By way of apology, set them up with one of your less picky friends who looks a bit like you.

You could say something self-deprecating like "I am just not open-minded enough for that" so that it sounds like you are defining yourself as the problem but really it is still her.

Thank you for all of the suggestions so far but please keep in mind that I am looking for a way to say no thanks in a way that some one will not mind hearing so much, what I am not trying to do is "put out" or be super rude or lead them on

It doesn't matter what you're looking for, you have an obligation to provide sex when asked for it. That's just basic feminism.

I like this one the best so far because everybody is happy at the end but most of my friends are already dating and pretty much nobe of them look very much like me any way. Im not being picky either whatever that means

Being picky means you have standards. It's a good thing. Set them up with one of your friends who will literally gently caress anything that moves (of the appropriate gender, obviously)

There's no easy way to do this OP, just more or less graceful ways.

I would suggest "Thanks for the invitation, but I would like to keep our relationship strictly professional. Thanks for understanding."

Is this going to offend them? Yes, probably, but that is unavoidable. The main thing is to do it in a way that your bosses and/or HR department can't possibly criticise and even the other person has no rational reason to be offended by. In time this person will get over it and/or one of you will go elsewhere.

I always just say 'sure but I've got a lot going on right now, just hit me up and we'll work it out'

then just always have a reason to not kick it. She'll get the hint after a few tries. If not just hang out with her in a public place and go home separately at the end.
