How to turn down a guy without being mean

Guys ask me out a lot, but I don’t know how to say “no” without being mean. Suggestions?

Bill: Seems like a lose/lose sitch. If you tell a fib (“I have to babysit”), you’ll seem mean if you get busted. But if you say, “No way, dude—you’re boring,” you still won’t get nice-points. Try this: “You’re a great guy, but I’m not interested.”

Dave: Not to get political, but notice how officials get in deeper when they cover up? It’s better to step up and be truthful. Take Bill’s advice, and come up with a subtle but clear way to say “no.”
