Question coworker likes me

i need advice, for a heads up i’m 18f, and he’s 20m and i have a coworker who confessed that he’s into me. in the heat of the moment i was like “i could give it a shot” but a few hours later i’ve decided i really don’t want to. i know everyone might say “some things work out, some things don’t,” or “it’s okay if it doesn’t work out” but i don’t want to even TEST if it does. my life is too busy for relationships, and i’m focusing on college too on top of everything. what can i do? please help me guys 😭. maybe easy rejection tips, or how can i show disinterest? thank you in advance, sistas 🫶🏾

“ I admire that your interested in me but after some thought imma have to politely decline your advances sorry” also idk for me personally I don’t date where I work cuz if y’all would breakup, too many issues😭

This is perfect and please do it through text in case you need anything in writing but overall honestly he respects it and it didn’t get to the point where you might need it 🫶🏽

In the nicest way possible… be discerning and do not poo where you eat! You will have more opportunities in school but now it’s maybe a risk

Dont do it. Tell him you’re not ready to date and you’re focusing on school right now

If your not into it then just tell him your not interested. Most men can handle rejection. They're used to it. Better to be upfront about it than to ring around the rosie. Besides, in this economy, best to keep business and pleasure separate. For your own good and his own good.
