How to reject a girl I work with?

Hi I was just curious as to what you would do in this situation. A girl I work with started emailing me out of the blue one day and now she is asking me to hang out. I have been being nice and responding to her like I would any other coworker, but now she is coming on to me stronger. I want to tell her I am not interested but I also dont want to sound strange since she hasnt actually come on to me yet. What should I do?

Update:

haha I realize it may not make too much sense I should have said she hasn't openly made a move on to me but I can tell she is trying to come on to me. If you know what I mean.

    Just remain politely elusive. Whatever you do, don't make any plans with her. She make take you saying yes to hanging out as you telling her that you're interested. Once you decline her invitation a few times, she'll get the idea. If she doesn't, start telling her you can't hang out because you have a hot date who you're really into.

    You need to start by not always replying to her messages - unless they are more business based. The friendly banter/laughs can be misunderstood in emails.

    When you don't reply to more personal emails - she'll get the message. Or if you find that too difficult - maybe you should just speak to her about how you feel that the change in ur Business capacity to fiends is not comfortable for you!!!

    Act now though - don't wait til it's at stalker rating!!!!

    So.... now shes' coming on to you stronger, but hasn't actually come on to you?

    Why not just tell her you're not interested. "Hey - Stacy, I'm honestly not really interested at all. I'm sorry," is an okay way of doing it. It could be taken as not being interested for dinner or for whatever she wants to do.

    women can say no to a guy because in simple terms that they seem to be a lady. Society perspectives them as softer than us in a great way of putting it. a guy won't be able to reject a lady because then that's recommend and shows that she obviously has a flaw to that guy. notwithstanding that's likewise in the way you reject them. if you're honest about it and compassionate then there shouldnt be a situation yet when you're an *** then yeah your going to get ridiculed and rightfully so. yet my suggestion to you is your a guy your meant to be sturdy and take care of rejection thats how society and the majority see it. So be like that and dont enable issues get to you if human beings tease you for turning down a lady. And if a guy calls you gay then hell what i might want to assert to him is "then you rather date her" immediately and if he says no longer something then say "yeah thats what i idea close up". yet in spite of this i'm an asshole if human beings attempt picking on me. i'm heavily so recommend and its in simple terms me lol yet eh sturdy success.

    Tell her you have a girl friend and her name is Andrea Gramer or Amanda Johnston or Gina Erickson or make up your own and tell her that your gf lives in a town nearby and that she is 1 year younger than you, or something else just lie that you have a girlfriend

    Tell her you think it would be distracting to both of your careers to mix a personal relationship with a business relationship.

    Be nice to her.. and just break it down that you would rather not mix "business with pleasure" and that you would like to be her friend though! good luck, hope it helps. just remember be nice and break it to her easy!

    THATS A TOUGH ONE,JUST TELL HER THAT SHE IS REAL NICE BUT YOU DONT LIKE HER AND THAT YOU ONLY SEE HER AS A FRIEND

    there's always the "look, i like you, but just as a friend" that should get it out of her head. but it might not, cause women are crazy

    Maybe you should invite other co-workers along so it's not one on one.
