How do I spurn a girl's advances?

I agree. My wife and I met in late 2004 on a Christian dating site. Her screen name was SteelOfFaith and she was an ordained minister. She messaged me. I felt a bit intimidated by that at first, but I shrugged it off and replied. Damn glad I did. We got married in June of 2005, we are very happy, and we are very close. Every day is like a honeymoon, no matter what tribulations that life throws at us. And we have not been Christian since 2006.
The problem with ending this wrong/quickly ("Do you want to watch a Space 1999 marathon with me and my friends?) is that you don't want to poison the work place, or have her think that she can wait you out.
I make her sound like a mummy?
You know, lumbering but unstoppably tracking you tot he ends of the earth.
Your only way out is to get a girlfriend in the next 5 minutes, since lies are really really unnavigable.
Someone here could volunteer to be your pretend on paper girlfriend as a friend to help you out a jam for a few days, just long enough so that you can be completely honest about your new facebook status.
Any takers?

Which is why you want to text her back something along the lines of, "I appreciate the thought, but no thanks."
Locutus: Off topic, but I've been meaning to tell you... I love your kitty avatar.
Get another girlfriend and have her visit you at work. Introduce her to everyon as your girlfriend. Problem solved.
You could do what my old roommate did:
Invite her over, but ignore her the whole time. Make her buy you stuff to bring over to eat, then if you want to eat out make her pay for it. Then have sex with her but kick her out (so you don't have to wake up next to her). Then when she texts you ignore it.
Believe it or not, my roommate did all this and the girl was (and I'm sure still is) practically in love with him.

I don't think you're a jerk either as you are being thoughtful about things.
If you politely decline 2 or 3 times, she'll get the hint. Unless she's crazy and you wind up in a bathtub full of ice without your kidneys, but that hasn't happened to me too often.
You really only get two chances at that, don't you?
Depends... if you also partake of the crazy, and start nicking other people's kidneys to transplant into you, you could get a whole infinite chain going on...
Of course, at some point, through sheer luck, you might end up getting your own kidneys transplanted back into you. Then you'd have one hell of a dinner party story. Of course, that would be a magnet for any crazy chicks listening, and so the cycle starts again...
To put a spin on what a cult cartoon character once said:
Tell her you've evolved beyond the desire or need for a romantic relationship or its stresses and strains. If that doesn't work, tell her you have cancer.
Either way, the key word is "growth."
Just kidding. Anyways, to echo what others in this thread have said I don't think you're being a jerk at all. Just be brutally honest about your own feelings while doing your best to respect hers. In the end, you know that you don't want a relationship and the girl must be made to understand that logic in the most civilized way possible. Don't be shy...don't be scared. Just be frank and if the girl is understanding and a decent person she'll take it all to heart and stop making advances on you. If she knows you're extremely uncomfortable that might spur her to see things your way.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be a jerk but I'm just not interested outside of a friendship."
And after that make sure you don't do any socializing or friendhipping so she doesn't think she can win you over.
As to the "I already have a girlfriend" you could make up an internet girlfriend so you never have to be seen with her.
"I met this woman online and we're kind of doing the LDR thing, I'm committed to seeing how it will work out."
It's good to minimize hurt but you don't want to drag it out.

Tel her that you suffer from "penile stustification" and are feeling very anti social about it. That might backfire though if there is some other lady at work that you are interested in.
If all of the above fail, tell her you got Justin Bieber his first record contract.
She'll hop a plane to the middle of the Gobi Desert just to erect enough of a buffer zone between the two of you. You'll thank me later.

Well I thought I best not leave it too long, so the deed is done. I did put something about not looking for that kind of thing right, which although is not strictly true, my last relationship didn't end so great, and even though it was in November, I am still kinda bummed about how she treated me.
So there's that, and then yeah I was just honest and said I'm only looking for a friend thing (from her anyway, though I didn't put that)
So we'll see what happens next... should be fine... as long as she's not cutting herself right now...

Well, at least you're modest.
Hell, entire forums owe their long term success to late-night drinking and posting.
