Just be honest with him and tell him that if and when you are interested in dating someone other than your boyfriend that you will tell him. And if he keeps asking it is making it less and less likely that if and when that time comes that you will not be asking him.

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.

There really is no way to say no nicely.  You need to look out for yourself in this area.  If no is what you want then no is what you need to go after.  If he doesn't want to be friends with you after you say no then it is a REALLY good thing you did say no.  Who needs people that are going to use you like that.  If you say no and he stays with you, maybe later, no will turn into yes.  Stay true to yourself and don't give into pressure.  That will just lead you to misery.

We all know that breaking it off with someone is never easy. It sucks, to be more precise, and even less fun than getting rejected is actually having to do the rejecting. Okay, maybe doing the rejecting is a little better. Anyway, if you're thinking about blowing a guy off, here are some ideas on how to give him the brush off that won't break his heart too badly -- or destroy his ego.\n\nYou're not interested. He calls and leaves a message. What should you do? Do not return that call. \n\nAnd what if you picked up the phone? What then?  Then, lie. Please lie. Tell him that you just got back together with your friends. This is our very first choice for rejection. Second best is you realized that you are going through a period where you do not want to date at all and just want to focus on yourself. Sure, these excuses might be transparent -- but men feel better to live a lie than face the truth of rejection.\n\nAnother possibility, though not quite as good due to possible ambiguity is the good ol' distancing technique. You tell him you are really busy for the next couple of weeks and will call him when things get less crazy -- a bit confusing for most men, but definitely effective and not too painful.\n\nYou really gave it a chance, but it's not happening. What should you do?   Again, lie. Your friends are still your best bet. Do not tell him you met someone else recently. That smarts. Choosing someone you just met tells him he lost a contest. No one likes to lose. \n\nAnother option: Honesty, within reason. If it's simply a matter of chemistry - or lack thereof - tell him. Most guys can survive that after just a few dates.\n\nAs much as it's going to hurt, tell him the truth. At this point, honest communication is the right thing to do. Don't be too specific if it's for reasons no human should ever hear: you smell, you are not good-looking enough, you are boring, you're an idiot -- please refrain from using these. Be gentle, but do not be too vague. Just give it to him straight and say that you're really sorry. And do not try to be friends right away. \n\nIt is really tough to swallow "can we just be friends?" If you two are suitable as friends then let that relationship take it's proper course, and do not initiate it while you're dumping him as a boyfriend.\n\nObviously, this all can vary depending on your circumstances. \n\nJust remember: Be gentle, lying can be good, and specificity, well, it can sometimes be too specific. And did I mention lying? \nGood Luck>r

Just tell him what your plans are, and casually ask him if he wants to come along.If you play your cards right, he won't even suspect that you have asked him for a date.

Just say, "Okay!"\n\nAfter you hate yourself enough you will learn to say no.\n\n...or you could just say it.

Use the following magical words and all will be revealed to you:\n\n"Hey!  Wanna go out this weekend?"\n\nIf the answer is "YES", suggest a time and place.  Any other answer, move on.  Let him go.  Don't force the restraining order.

First of all, find out their status before you ask them out.  Or make it part of the "ask out", "Hey, I hope you're not seeing anyone because I'd like to take you out on a date."  That will make your intentions clear.\n\nAlso make it clear that it is a date.  Some guys will ask the girl, "You wanna grab some dinner?" and it is not clear that it is a date.  The guy is trying to insulate himself against rejection. But part of the thrill is taking the chance. "Hi, I'd like to take you out for a date.  Can I pick you up on Saturday at 7:00?"  Take the chance and be clear.  The woman will repsect your clarity and confidence.  And on the date (especially the first one) do all the traditional date stuff: dress up, pick her up, hold her chair, pay for dinner.  Lean over and put your hand on hers during dinner.  How she responds will say a lot.  When you drop her off, touch her lightly on her waist while you lean in to give a gentle kiss on the lips.  Above all, make it clear that this is a romantic date.\n\nGood luck.

cancel cancel cancel! There is a reason you didn't want to date him in the first place! I once dated a guy, because I  didn't know how to say no, before the second date I had a bad feeling and really didn't want to go out with him anymore, well towards the end of that second date, he was really forceful, wanting me to have sex with him, luckily some people came upon us, but listen to your gut instinct. Nature provided that for us to HELP US!

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!

This is a tough one because you need to find a way to say no without coming off as sounding gay or rude. If you are that convicted to your beliefs, then you should have no problem telling people why you don't date. Conviction is a rare thing these days and it's nice to see someone your age who actually has conviction to ANYTHING. I would simply tell them," I am flattered that you feel that way but my convictions won't allow me to date at this time. I would love to become friends and get to know you better though."

Tell them that you promised yourself you wouldn't date till a certain time.  Then tell them that it is important for you to keep your promises and not to have friends trying to "help" you break them.

Suck it up, grit your teeth, close your eyes, count to 100...and do it.  You're better off getting over the issue as soon as possible.  If she rejects you.....you ask another one...it's really not that big a deal.

Rule #1: You don't plan a BLIND DATE for the whole day. Just a dinner, or a movie, or some drinks, or just a coffee.\n\nRule #2: You plan ahead. Ask somebody to call after half hour or an hour. If things are OK then you tell them is fine. On the other hand if things are not OK then you fake a family emergency or something like that. But be careful how you plan your excuse because your date may be willing to stay with you during the family emergency (may be a gentleman).\n\nRule #3: Don't do what you don't want people to do to you. UNLESS HE IS A COMPLETE JERK or abusive or something like that. If you committed to the BLIND DATE then you should stick to it. Just try to make the best of it, and show some respect for that person even if you don't like him. He is a person as well and don't deserve to be treated like that just because there are things you don't like from him. It takes two to tango and you are not the only person that matters.
