How do I spurn a girl's advances?

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. :p


You really only get two chances at that, don't you?

Just 3 times for me. One time the girl was a little drunk and took the gall bladder instead. :cool:
 
Oh just be honest and tell her you are not interested in her.
Case closed.
If she persists, I'd first try diplomacy and tell her to stop, that it will never happen.
 
Just say, "Oh, <name>, I just want to be your friend."

Girls love that - they say it to guys all the time.

Seriously, say it.

"... and that's where the term galling came from..."

Really want to spurn a girl's advances? Just come right out and say you were born with both sets of genitalia. And that you once killed a guy with a hammer. If one doesn't get the job done the other almost certainly will.

Some women like danger. Others like experimentation. But none of them like hermaphroditic homicide.
 
Yes it's another "girl problem" thread on the TrekBBS. So there's a girl at my work (not on my department but I see her round now and again) who has come to "like me" recently I guess. I knew she was interested recently as a friend of hers told me about it, and then she was messaging me on Facebook, talking to me more, etc

The thing is I'm really not interested in her that way. Maybe it makes me sound like a jerk but if a girls not my type and I'm not attracted to her what else can I do?

...snip...

So basically I just don't know what to say. I can't say I have the Lothario expertise in these sort of matters really. I mean I don't just wanna say "no," do I? But I don't want to have to give some ridiculous excuse or something. Plus if I still have to see her around work.

Hmm, suggestions?

i think she'd probably appreciate it if you just said you weren't interested.

It took me a long time to learn how to say that--to just turn someone down in a positive, pleasant way. "I'm not really interested, but thanks for the offer," is probably the best way to go. That way you're not leaving any doors open.

If you're not into her, you're not into her. The most ethical thing to do in my opinion is to stay true to your feelings and be the decent person by turning her down with the (nicely-stated and reasonably vague-as-to-be-not-unkind) truth.
 
I had to spurn someone once. I'm afraid I was so concerned with making sure the answer was absolutely clear that I over spurned.

"Absolutely not. I would never EVER even consider.."
