7.) Don't give out your number- If someone who is hitting on you asks for your number don't give it to them. This should be a huge hint to them that you're not interested.

8.) Tell them you're not interested-At any point in the conversation you feel that you are not interested tell them you are not interested and that should get them too stop hitting on you.
