What is a polite way to say no to coffee? I'm a college student.?

Guy friends who think I'm single (even when my facebook profile says married) say "how abt coffee sometime since I know u r starbucks crazy"... how to turn them down without sounding like a girl who took his coffee offer too seriously (= more than jus a coffee) ?

What is a polite way to say no to coffee? I'm a college student.?
Thanks for the offer, but no thank you :)
Reply:No thanks!
Reply:The best way to say no thank you is to say "no, thank you." Let it go at that.





If he persists, tell him the truth. 1. you don't like coffee and 2. you don't think it would be fair to your husband if you had dates with other men.





Or, you could just start slipping Harold's name into your conversation with these guys. Oh yes. Harold and I love to eat at that little shop. I"m not a coffee drinker but Harold is... Gee. I'm sorry. I'm meeting Harold in about 15 minutes....
Reply:If you feel this guy or guys are making a move on you, tell them that you're going to have coffee at so and so time, and make that a time when your husband will be with you. Then when they come up, introduce them! They will either act natural, because they had no 'intentions' or they will stumble all over themselves. That way, the 'proof' will not fall on your shoulders of 'who is taking the coffee offer too seriously'.


What do you think???????? Good luck.
Reply:why assume they know what your facebook profile says? do you wear a ring? just say 'no, but thanks for asking' -- they'll eventually get the message
Reply:"No thank you, I don't think my husband would appreciate that."





Or....





"As long as it's all right to bring my husband along, sure!"
Reply:" I could really use a cup of coffee but my husband and I are going away this weekend and I have to get home and pack.Thanks anyway


Have a great weekend."
Reply:No thanks, I don't drink coffee
Reply:Say you're cutting down on caffeine.
Reply:'sure. my husband and i can do --------------- (this day)'
Reply:just having coffe with a guy is not a big deal unless he wants or thinks there is something more.. but i usually say things like "can i bring my husband, he would like to meet you" or " i have a date with my husband tonight so i need to get ready"... drop the "husband" a few more times,, it works..
Reply:no thanks I'm on a diet
Reply:"No thanks - thanks for asking. I appreciate it. Maybe another time."
Reply:Just say, " I'm not ready to take that step with you. It's not you, it's me, I'll let you know when I'm ready."
Reply:Just say, "That sounds great!... my husband and I are there quite often so just name a time and I'll see if I'm free!" That way they will know you're married and if they still insist on buying you coffee just tell them you're busy.
Reply:how about, "no, thanks."
Reply:Say you can't drink coffee that day 'cause you already burned your tongue. Then apologize for giving such a crummy excuse by saying, "i would of put more time into thinking up a better way to get out of coffee with you. But i seriously burned my tongue, and it hurts to even speak."
Reply:make up an excuse that your busy or something
Reply:tell him that you just found out youre allergic to the coffee bean
Reply:Say, aww thanks but I already share my coffee mornings with my husband.
Reply:"no thanks. I'm married and I don't like going out alone with men. It just gives people the wrong idea."





Be upfront.





Or, say yes.....then bring your husband along. When you get there say, "ohh this is my husband. He wasn't busy today and decided to come along."
Reply:If you tell them you are married, they will be cool. They don't have a lot of extra cash to waste on Starbucks if they know it isn't going anywhere.
Reply:say, "can my husband come too?"
Reply:Tell him to chug a bottle of JD, and then maybe you'll do an espresso body shot with him.





Chances are he'll pass out before he can ever reach for your bra strap. He'll also forget who you are completely.
Reply:No thanks I prefer whatever.
