If someone liked you or was interested in you, but you had no desire to see them would you continue to talk to them or would you just ignore them and tell them it will never happen?

I'd be completely honest that I wasn't interested in them. Then I would not make an effort to contact them. I'd be cordial if I was forced to be around them but I would not choose to maintain a friendship with them.

This. As awkward as rejection and rejecting can be, it's best to just be honest and have it out in the open. So I wouldn't try being friends with them, or contacting them and risk them reading more into it than I intended.

No! Why would you even consider doing that?

If your not interested in dating this person, let it be.

No I wouldn't. If I don't want to date a woman I'll let it be known.

^^ This. If your only connection to that person was an attempt at a date and it didn't work out, why be friends instead? You weren't friends before, and friendship shouldn't be offered as a consolation prize. No reason to be rude and ignore, but keeping your distance makes the boundaries clear.
