My question is how the heck do you decline advances for dates/romance without burning bridges?
I feel like it's so touch-and-go. From the male perspective, what's the way you'd most uh--appreciate a decline?
I think you just got to be straight forward with your approach. One of the biggest problems I've noticed with men and women, is the signals get crossed. If you don't want to cross that bridge then don't go to the road that leads to that bridge. In other words, if you believe that someone is trying to be fresh then you just make sure that the focus of your interactions never sway off from business because then he's going to think you're flirting. And if you get in that situation and you really don't want anything to do with him, you are in a world of trouble because now that man is thinking you want him. Some men won't take no for an answer once you open that door and they may use the networking as power over you.
As far as a nice decline, if a man flirts and maybe says something out the way, immediately revert the conversation back to business. At least you then you would be letting him know what you're about without being flat out rude.
Btw, has anyone ever gone to any of the Hip Hop brunches during CBC weekend?

I think it's just to remain friendly and cordial, without being greatly offended or causing a scene.
Southerners seem to be very good at this, as are latinas.
You have to remember that it is obvious you are trying to get something from them....so they are likewise seeing what they can get from you as well. Maybe at the end of the day, they'll just accept you are that pretty young thing that works for 'wherever', but maybe that's all you need anyways.
