Yes. Of course. Sure, fine. Well, OK. Count me in. |
I’d love to. For sure. Why not. (as a matter of fact) Sounds good to me. Let’s go. |
Not interested? Here’s some excuses:

Sorry, I can’t because … I’m busy. |
I’d love to, but … Some other time. |

If you do want to do something another time use these:
(But), I’d like to see you again.
(Pero), quisiera verte otra vez.
(Peh-roh) kee-see-eh-rah vehr-teh oh-trah vehs.
How about another day?
¿Qué te parece otro día?
¿kEH teh pah-reh-seh oh-troh dEE-ah?
These are up front that you are not interested in them:
|
Sorry, but ….. No, (thanks). I don’t want to. I don’t feel like it. No way! |
I’m not up for anything. Count me out. No way! Don’t even dream of it! |
These are even firmer if they won’t give up:
|
Please….. Leave me alone. Stop bothering me. You’re not my type. I don’t like you. |
Don’t be a pain! What’s wrong with you? Go away! Fuck off! |
