Avoid wearing overly provocative clothing when hanging out with him. Sexy clothing makes a man's eye wander, and it may also create a belief that you are interested in him romantically. Keep your outfits simple, without low-cut tops, short skirts or necklaces that accentuate your chest. Save the perfume for dates with others, as fragrance provides powerful sensory stimulation. - 3

Decline extravagant gifts. If he presents you with a necklace, romantic getaway, or even an expensive dinner, just say "No." Tell him you appreciate the gift, but you are unable to accept it because you are not interested in a relationship and don't want to feel obligated. Insist on paying your own way at events. If he slips his credit card to the waiter, offer to pay for the next meal -- and do it. - 4

Avoid returning flirtatious gestures like touching and snuggling. When you hug, pretend you are hugging a member of your family; keep it simple and quick. When he touches your hand, move your hand away. Common physical signals of interest you should avoid are sitting too close, rubbing his leg with yours and touching his body, including tapping his thigh to get his attention or tickling playfully. - 5

If he invites you to a night out, suggest bringing friends. Having friends around you can ensure the night stays PG, particularly if you carpool. If possible, avoid sitting next to, or directly across from him to keep his flirting minimal. Make sure you include single friends in the group, so the night doesn't look like a double date.
