Re: How do you reject people?
"I like you, but only as a friend, and that's never going to change." Is a go-to for people who I'm newly acquainted with who are unfortunately barking up the wrong tree (in a non-intrusive way).
Other times I've been more or less direct. Sometimes it's as easy as just not continuing to show signs that might be interpreted as interest, backing off, and being less friendly. ...Giving the "cold shoulder", so to speak.
I'm not shy with rejecting people who come on too strong or who I find really unattractive though. I have said the following to various people:
"Are you fucking serious."
"No, and don't think about asking again."
"You disgust me."
All equally valid options to be employed according to circumstance. tl;dr If you can't communicate your expectations you might as well not worry about a long term relationship in the first place. Learn to express what you want.
