    Say:

    Look you're a great guy, in every way, but I can't love you like you want to be loved, you deserve someone who is devoted to you. You deserve the best, sorry."

    Goodluck

    Sometimes, situations arise where you have to politely decline a person's offer. This can be difficult, especially when you care about the other person. Here's how to deal with the situation politely and easily.

    Just say "I'm sorry. I'm swamped with homework due tomorrow." They'll hopefully understand. Keep in mind; lying is not the best way out unless it is a very dangerous situation.

    Firmly say "no" while politely smiling at the other person.

    Say no but try to suggest some other place you would rather go / some other thing you would rather do.

    Just simply say " No thank you."

    Reschedule for some other day.

    Tell them for "personal reasons"

    Say no then walk away or cross your arms. Though use this as a last resort i.e. if the one asking keeps insisting and doesn't take the hint that you are not interested.

    Ask the person why they want you to come along. Sometimes knowing the reason behind why they are asking/insisting may make you change your mind.

    Tips

    Know that person's personality, so that you can pick your excuse properly.

    When on your own think up excuses that you could use if and when such situations arise. Tried and tested excuses like - "I'm sorry but I promised Mom I'd do some household chores today" or " I have to baby-sit my little brother / sister today so I wont be able to make it" - have been known to work well.

    Warnings

    Watch your body language! If you're making an excuse, your body language may be revealing.

    Its best not to blatantly lie because being found out can be quite embarrassing for you and offending to the other person.

    Extremely persistent people can make you lose your cool. So stay calm and keep hinting that you are not interested.

    Tell him the true reason if any and if it will not hurt him. Or tell that you are not interested in love now. Also u can tel tat u dont feel u can go with him. U have aim in ur life and u have oly that in ur mind. U dint get any such feeling towards him. loove is spontaneous and it is not forced.
