Be clear without judging the person
If you are not interested, saying you are busy can leave false hope. Speak about your decision instead of listing the other person's faults. If you want to reschedule, offer a real alternative. If there is pressure after a refusal, you do not need to prove your right to decide differently again. You can end the conversation and use the available ways to limit contact.
- Distinguish a refusal from genuine rescheduling.
- State your decision in one or two sentences.
- Do not argue about your right to decline.
A place to start
Choose a relevant example and adapt it to your situation. Do not assume someone has interests they have not mentioned.
Thank you for the invitation. I don't want to continue romantically, so I won't arrange a date.
I can't today, but I would like to see you. If it suits you, I suggest Sunday afternoon.
Prepare your own version
Be clear without judging the person: Choose one step and write down how you would like to suggest it.

What else is useful to know
Do I have to explain my refusal in detail?
No. A short, clear answer is enough. A detailed judgement of appearance or character is usually unnecessary to communicate your decision.
