In the past I went two different routes. If I knew the guy personally I would reject them both firmly but kindly. The way I’d worded it depended on the person, but it would go over well. I didn’t want them to think they had a chance later, but didn’t want to tear them down either. If it was someone I didn’t know I generally just lied and told them I had a boyfriend when I didn’t. It made it easier to shut it down without having to go into more detail. The scummy ones would keep trying. Now that I actually have a boyfriend it isn’t a lie anymore lol
When i was single i just lied and said im with someone. Its easier and quicker. You dont need an explanation and doesn't give (most) guys an opportunity to persuade you. Now i have a boyfriend i dont have to lie anymore.

I mean, typically Ill tell them that Im flattered but Im not looking for something at the moment (whether that means a relationship or something casual). And usually that seems to work.
But sometimes, if I feel creeped out or theyre really persistent, and they ask if I have a boyfriend, Ill just say yes. Adds like a false level of protection.
I JUST REJECT. Idon'tKNOW I'm bad with introductions and giving out my number because I don't know him! I I I I I I I even think of my social media as my phone number, I can't even give that up. I DONT KNOW YOU, I DONT GIVE IT. EVEN IF I LIKE YOU IT IS NOT HAPPENING
I just reply with really short answers and don't maintain a proper eye contact and they usually get the message... if they don't or if someone is like flat out asking you " can I get your number " or something , just go with the classic " I have a boyfriend / I'm taken " ... might be lame but it will do the job lol 👍
I usually say I am flattered, however, I am with someone (which has been the case most of the time when someone's approached me).
I may add, if things change though perhaps we will meet each other again when it is a more opportune moment for the two of us.
before my relationship, I just said I wanted to be friends instead.
I have a guy a fake number once in high school and still feel bad. It wasn’t even because I didn’t like him but I just didn’t date at that time.
toughen up and just say you’re not interest. Blah.
I just walk fast like I didn't hear anything or say I have a boyfriend. I did the fake number thing but wouldn't recommend that. 🤣
I say that I'm married. Which is true. It's that simple. But you can always lie.
carrying a 2nd fake phone i found very helpful
Just be honest and tell them plainly you're not interested.
Unless I was dating someone at the time, I have never flat-out rejected a girl who had the courage to approach.
I simply reject and if they are persistent I tell them that I'm taken.
Fake numbers is stupid. Easy to notice right away, causes more problems than it solves
Simply be honest & reject them.
I tell them i’m marrow which is true.
I stay away without breaking your heart.
