OP - it sounds like you handled it just fine. There's nothing wrong with saying you're seeing someone.
You mentioned that he might start asking how it's going with the guy you're "dating". It's best to just be vague and say it's going - fine. Someone's personal life is really no one business, especially in the workplace.
Yeah, you’re right. Maybe I sometimes share more than I should.
neither was this post or the post I was referring to. Curious why you had to point that out. Oh well, back to the topic at hand....
There isn't one right or wrong way to say/do things when it comes to human interactions. I don't think Sweet could have prevented him from asking her out without being severely cold. So he asked her to coffee and she made it sound like she wasn't available. While I might not have lied, I don't think she led him on or was wrong in declining. We like who we like, and we like like who we like like.

Thanks! So you would’ve just said “Thanks, but I’m not interested” and left it at that? Even if he followed up with “Why not?”

The only mistake you made is answering the “why not” question. People aren’t entitled to a reason why you aren’t interested. One girl pulled that on me a few weeks ago when I rejected her for a drink, I just said don’t feel like it. She got so PO’d it was funny.

That rubbed me the wrong way, too. That's presumptuous, to demand a reason why you "can't make it". It's bad form. OTOH, it does eliminate the issue of repeated attempts to ask you out in the future, hoping you'll be available.Still, it's rude.

She doesn’t like me so she’s looking to complain.
