Well, when someone comes up to me and asks me out, I always say no, whether I like them or not. And if some kid tells me that they like me, I make up some smart-ass comment. I usually do this automatically, giving me no time to think at all. It's just natural reflex. How can I fix this?

Just start thinking before you speak, no matter what you're doing. Let's say that you're shopping with a friend. She tries on this red top that looks hideous on her. Without thinking, you might say, "Ugh! That looks horrible on you!" But if you think before you speak and consider her feelings, you should say something like, "I think you'd look better in that yellow top we saw."
Just practice doing that. When someone says something to you, plan out in your head what you will say back, and think about how you would react if someone said that same thing to you. Like the example I just said; Your feelings would be hurt if your friend said, bluntly, that the top looked hideous on you, right?
Remember that if you constantly reject guys, it will scare other guys away. I mean, you can reject guys you don't like nicely, but if you like a guy, don't reject him. So, if you have a reputation for rejecting guys constantly, guys will be hesitant to ask you out. They'd be too scared of rejection to even pursue you. A time could come when you really like a guy who likes you as well, but he wouldn't ask you out, thinking you'd say no. See what I mean?
