And now, let us all remember why one should avoid dates with random people if one doesn't have any real interest in them:

Because they then ask for another date.

Well... this is bound to be interesting... argh. Coming up with polite way to say "no, sorry, not really interested."

I think, in my humble opinion that it's best to just say, thank you, you're a very nice guy, but I just don't think we had that much in common.
Hope it works out. Love ya!

Irk. Yeah, that's always a pain in the ass. But it's best to just be honest and up front about it.

...a severed head from the large farm quadraped of your choice always carries a certain understated frisson of dangerous style, while elegantly and efficiently getting your lack of interest across.

Hey-I like your style!!!!!! ;D

Try: "No, sorry, not interested." ?

Yeah, that's more or less what I'm planning on.

Head 'em off at the pass! Before he can ask if he can see you again, shoot him a breezy, "I guess I'll see you around (on campus, at the club, wherever you met him)". And then run like hell!

Somebody blew me off like that recently (except the running part), and I thought it was really well done.

Sadly, he's a fast one - he already emailed. *sighs*

In the future, though, that sounds like a great tactic. Hopefully I won't have to make too much use of it... ;)
