"This past weekend I was at the mall and decided to stop into Guitar Center while I was there to play some piano before I went home. As I was tinkering around on some keyboards, a guy that works there came up and started talking to me. He was nice and not unattractive, but I just wasn&amp;#039;t interested. Luckily, he gave me his number instead of asking for mine so I have the choice to call him or not. But what if he had asked for mine? I wouldn&amp;#039;t know how to say no and then I would probably end up ignoring his calls and feeling like a jerk. So I&amp;#039;m thinking I need a plan of what to say in case this kind of situation comes up again. But what should it be? My friend Kyle says he&amp;#039;ll be my &amp;quot;back-up boyfriend&amp;quot; if I need to tell a guy I&amp;#039;m taken, but I feel weird flat-out lying to someone I don&amp;#039;t know. And what if I need to tell a friend I&amp;#039;m not interested? He would obviously know I didn&amp;#039;t have a boyfriend so that wouldn&amp;#039;t work. I guess I could politely say I&amp;#039;m not interested, but I don&amp;#039;t want to hurt anyone&amp;#039;s feelings. What do you think, CosmoGirls? What&amp;#039;s the best way to let a guy down easy without damaging his ego too much? Later. Bethany CosmoGirl Editorial Intern "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
