Use situations to say no to his proposal without hurting his feelings.

Say that you have a crush on someone else

Love is not by force. It just happens. In order to avoid giving him any false hope, tell him you have a crush on someone else. That way, there is a chance that you might still befriend without hurting his feelings.

Use studies or work as an excuse to politely say no to a proposal

Tell him you work is very demanding and you also have some studies to do for your next examination. Indirectly, it means you don’t have spare time for his romantic relationship but you value his friendship.

That way you will not hurt anyone's feelings and you will have thwarted off an unwanted advance without sounding rude.

Say that you have just come out of a relationship and you don't want to date anyone

An easy way to reject his proposal is to weep about your past relationship. Let him know to understand that you are not looking for ‘help me get over my abusive partner’. You want to revamp your self-love before making any bold decisions.

Don't give false hopes by saying that you will get back to him or her. Just be direct and say that there is no chance of you getting back in the dating scene.
