So I ran track last year and met this girl who I know likes me. I don’t know her really, but she is constantly trying to hang out with me. I honestly don’t like her back, but I don’t want to be mean. How do I say no to her politely?
How do I say no to hanging out nicely

Just say no politely. Keep saying no.
If she doesn’t get the message and stop, it’s not cruel to tell her that you have nothing against her personally but are not interested in a relationship with her.
You do not owe anyone your time or attention.
Thank you for the invite, but I am just not interested in us hanging out.
No, sorry, I’m a bit tired / busy today. Next time! Thanks for your invitation though, have fun!
If you don’t want to hang out with someone but also don’t want to hurt their feelings, the best thing is to be kind and clear. You don’t need to make up a big excuse, but you also shouldn’t leave the door open if you’re not interested.
Write something like: “Thanks for asking, but I’ve got a lot going on and won’t be able to hang out.”
