It's such a taboo word that invokes a lot of hurt feelings for some and anger for others.

But what do you all do?

Example, person A is interested in you and introduces but you have ZERO interest in this person. Not even as a friend. They're that much of a put off. Do you straight out reject them or let them off easy?

Example 2, person B is a wonderful friend but you have no interest in them for romantically or sexually. What do you do?

Example 3, person C is a great friend and you are interested in them, but you know that your personalities will clash in a horrendous battle on numerous occasions. Do you try it out and hope it goes well?

I am interested in how you all interact in this.
