how to say "no" firmly to requests, so that it eventually doesn't become a "yes" ???!?

1. Thank them for asking!! (This shows appreciation that they care enough to ask, and keeps them from nagging)\n2. Give firm tone to your voice so they know you mean what you say.\n3. Tell them why you are saying NO (A reason decreases their chances of arguing the point)\n4. Consider the matter resolved, and change the subject. This keeps them from manipulating you with reasons to say yes.\n5. MOST IMPORTANT: Make sure you want to say no. If you really want to say yes, any "NO" will come off as dumb in your own mind.

Just ask him.  The worst he can do is say no.

Try saying "Don't meddle in my business." I like the direct approach.

Ask.\nWorse they can say is 'no'. So, take that as an answer. \nMost will be flattered and you picked her to ask.  \n\nNot for any particular reason - for sex for example - if it happens that's OK, but don't push it. Just be gentle with them, converse, be yourself (they like that). \n\nYou are afraid of rejection. Be prepared for rejection but you will be surprised how 8 times out of 10 you will get a positive response.

if you find it offensive just smile sweetly (but make sure they can tell you are anoyyed!) if you dont find it offensive, say "none taken" thats the most polite way to say it in either scenarios, but if it really ticks you off, you should use the first one!

Just say no.  It hurts more if you tell them yes and stiff them.  The thing is in life there are hurts and you can't shield people from them.  The only person your responsible to is yourself.

Ask a lot of leading questions that have to be answered "yes".  With enough "yes" answers, it's hard for a potential customer to say no.

There are different ways to say "no", very much depends on gender factor, I believe.\n\nA girl to say "no" to a senior have to show that she's strong.\n\nA lad to say "to" to a senior have to show that he is weak.\n\nHow to show? That's another topic.
