We are all very familiar with the ways women let guys down, but if a woman asks you out and you're not interested, how do you turn them down?
If it's an outright and obvious proposition, I often tell her I'm seeing someone or I've just got out of a relationship.
If it's a casual proposition, like "Wanna come out tonight?" I make out I have other plans.
If a girl asks for my number, I give it out regardless.
If a girl is expressing an ongoing interest, then I usually drop hints into my conversations, such as "I'm holding off dating until after my studies".
I'll never lead a woman on or suddenly turn cold on her, and I think it's cruel giving the long and insincere "You're a great girl and I like you, but..." speech. So I usually try not to draw attention to it, or act naive, as if I don't know they're asking me out.
I'm curious how everyone else handles these situations and if there are any similarities between male and female brush offs.
