Let me up the ante here a little. For those who say it's easy, are you up front with her about it? I'm guessing it must be hard for most guys, or the stereotypical "I'll call you", with no follow-up, wouldn't happen as often as it does.
There have times where I have thought a woman was interested in me and got mad because I didn't ask her out/make a move on her. But then again, some of those times, I did make a move and she turned out to have no interest.
So, let's just say the amount of women I've rejected is uh ... zero.
Which is pretty shocking to me actually. I'm not a catch in the conventional sense but I am a really nice, down to Earth guy who is easy to get along with. I'd think at least one woman would have chased me during all these many years.

It's pretty frank and direct, your describing how a chick would handle it.

Women aren't the ones who call after the 1st or 2nd date, though, right? That's the guy's role. Women tend more to make up lame excuses, like, when the guy actually does call, "I'm washing my hair", or "I'm not interested in a relationship right now", or whatever (see myriad other threads around here).
Two things:
1) I had less of a problem doing it when their interest was "ulterior motive" oriented - more interested in my education, place of employment, or "sperm donor" status than me as a person
2) I have diligently avoided situations where it could lead to having to reject someone*
*Story:
I was briefly involved with a parish group for single people. There was one person, an RN, who was particularly aggressive and who I was not even minimally interested in. One day, I got a phone call from her, asking what I was doing on (insert date). She caught me off guard. It was 3 months down the pike. I told her "I don't know." She said "Good, then you can go to this parish function with me and I'm planning on being on this committee...bla bla bla." She said she'd be sending me my ticket.
I was furious. Not a set-up one expects, while wiping sleep from their eyes. I kept the ticket and about 2 weeks before, I sent it back to her, telling her I had a friend from ATL flying into town with his family and I had no choice but to show them around. Never heard from her again, thankfully. I also stopped associating with that group. There were OTHER experiences like that in the short time I knew them.
It's pretty easy.

Oh please. When did you step off the train from obliviousville? No she's not describing the way a chick would handle it. "I"ll call you" is the standard staple for men since the inception of the telephone- women have known it for years.
I'm curious to see how many men have actually flat out and completely rejected a woman who has had unmistakeable romantic interest.
