How to say no to someone nicely?

[Surreygirl30]

Ok, as most of you who have seen my msgs before will know i am very unhappily single. Although I can not find the man of my dreams � I do in fact have a guy at work after me, as in hassling me every day and he works on a different floor/department (my boss is almost on the verge of saying something to him as he is like a stalker).

Just this minute he came to my desk and asked me out � this time he was being very serious about it and was genuinely upset when I said no. I am not use to being asked out and in such a public way � all my work colleagues were laughing their faces off. The thing is I can't be rude and tell him where to go � at the same time I don't want to come across like I am leading him on.

I am soooo flattered and really wish I fancied him but I really don't and well no point in pretending that I do. What is the best way for me to say I am not interested without making him look stupid as he is a nice guy (if a bit 'cocky'). God as I write this he has come back and just said 'are you missing me already' � so not use to this sort of attention. What do I do? Help.
