What's NICER in the long run when dealing with a guy you aren't interested in?

You need to actually tell them that they aren't datable. Even if it's something like "you're such a great friend" or something to let them know you are friends. Every girl needs to learn males101-GUYS DON'T GET HINTS. Tell them how it is and avoid all of this hinting stuff.

just say "i don't want to waste your time, you can find someone better than me for you"

btw, are you only physically not attracted to these guys? or does their personality turn you off when talking to them?

well the nicest thing that you can do is just to tell them straight up. we guys tend not to get small hints.

don't worry about sounding bitchy, just tell them that you're not interested in them.

I thought girls weren't shallow? I thought it was about "what's on the inside" that matters?

I have this problem all the time. It's because you're out of someone's league but you're being too nice to them. They mistake this friendliness for interest. As for letting someone down nicely, I just use "I'm not interested, sorry." or "I don't like you like that.".

Don't be friendly to guys who are ugly.guys mistake friendliness with interest so just don't be extra friendly to a guy if he's ugly, then he won't think he has a chance. Its not your fault they make those incorrect assumptions, but just to save yourself the annoyance, tone down the friendliness.

With guys like that, just be straight up and tell them you don't like them.don't worry about hurting their feelings, guys aren't very sensitive so what you think might hurt a guys feelings probably wouldn't even affect him.you have to remember guys only talk to girls they think are hot and want to F***.if he didn't think you were hot he wouldn't be being nice to you either so just be honest with him.if he still tries to give you some lame line, say something like no after I got to know you I still wouldn't be interested and end the conversation
