MAK answered Saturday February 24 2007, 9:59 pm: -I'm sorry but I don't want to be in any sort of relationship right now
-You are a very sweet guy, but I like you as a friend
-I don't like you in that way, but I can suggest ___ and I think you will be a very cute couple
-I sorry, but I have a boyfriend (if you do)
but remember if the guy is bothering you continualy it is ok to say flatout NO. he already knows what the answer will be, so it is his own fault if he keeps on asking because he should be aware that it will hurt him, and if he does get hurt, know it is not your fault because he could have protected himself by not asking you out.

Because he's still young and this may be one of the first times hes asked a girl out, and if you hurt him, then if may bring down his confidence level. So before you do it, think about why you dont want to go out with him. If it's something stupid like because he wears glasses or because he likes starwars, but you just wouldnt be able to handle that type of thing, then tell him it's not you its me, I'm shallow, and I need certain qualities in a man that are almost inpossible to find. It's kind of being mean to yourself, but it shows him that you are being honest and that maybe he shouldnt want to go out with you wanyway because you're shallow.
If its because you liek someone else. Tell him. Sometimes guys dont go out with girls because they like someone else, so I'm sure he'll understand. Tell him that you think hes super nice but you just wouldnt feel right going out wit him when you cant have feelings for him because you like someone else.
If you just dont want a boyfriend right now (or your parents wont let you have a boyriend) tel him that. Just say that you are alittle busy or self occupied right now and a boyfriend just isnt an option right now. However dont tell him this if its a lie because then you're just shooting yourself in the foot if you go out with someone next week.
If you just dont want to go out with him. You arent attracted to him, he's not you're kind of guy, he and you arent alike, then tell him that. Just say you dont think you jhav very much in common, or you don't think opposites attract. Or you just dont think that it would be a good idea for the two of you to go out right now. Say your immature, or you just dont think hes right for you. Or you dont see it going anywhere.
No matter what you say it will hurt his feelings. So you have to try and be nice about it, but sometimes it just wont work out. The nice thing is that he learns how to be rejected at a young age. (btw a few of my friends have tried alot of these techniques and they all work for the most part, so if you want to try them then dont hesitate, they'll probably be fine)
I hope I gave you an idea, or an example of what kinds of things you could say. And I hope that you can find a nice way to tell him how you feel. Remember if you're honest, he cant ask any more questions. So it will be easier(hopefully). Good luck, love ya,
