I like the idea of using a mix tape to politely declie to hang out because its thoughtful and everybody loves music but what are some songs that would be good on it

Lets say there is someone who wants to spend some time with you one on one and it is obvious that their intentions are to date you and probably to have sex with you as well. But the problem is, you just arent "feeling it". How do you let them know you are not into it in a way that will hurt their feelings as little as possible

"I don't see things with us progressing in a romantic way, but I'd like to remain friends." Or just drop the old, "You're like my sister!" line over, and over.

TRY THIS, when you "meet up" ask her why she didn't email you her term paper in advance so you could look it over before your office hours, in fact you're really not going to be of any help to her now because you're going to spend 3/4 of the available time looking over it and that's only briefly really, you won't be able to give her a good thorough response and what is the point now anyway? then get up and walk away tiredly

Just tell them you aren't interested. So what if they are hurt a bit. There's nothing wrong with being hurt. It provides some contrast.

I have heard of saying no thanks before and I have done so as well, and I would like to thank everybody who suggested it, but Im not going to just say that. Maybe I will have to say something to this person again, or I just like to be nice for basically no reason. Either way I think that anyone here who ends up in this situation could benefit from the famous imagination and social graces of Gbs instead of what you think Ron Swansen or whatever would say
