Which one is milder or more mean?
I wonder which one sounds less mean or more mean when it's said by a girl to a boy. Tell me if there're other options. I don't know if these are correct, but they seem fine to me.

1. To be brutally honest, I'm not into you at all.

2. In all honesty, you're not my cup of tea.

3. Sorry to say, but I don't find you attractive.

4. Don't bother trying to get me, I'm not interested in you.

Thanks in advance!Thanks a lot ^^

@Daniel: Thanks heaps, I didn't know the 3rd sounds like that. =3

Answer

1. direct but not rude 
2. least likely to cause offence (the strange figure of speach directs attention away from the situation) 
3. slightly insulting (you're implying that there's something wrong with his looks) 
4. definate conversation ender (use this if he's being particularly aggresive or inept) 

Also, remember that tone of voice, facial expression and "body language" will greatly determine how any of these utterances are interpreted. 

Some other options (of widely varying levels of politeness or lack thereof): 

You're nice but not what I'm looking for. 
Sorry, I've just decided that I'm a lesbian. 
Douchebags aren't my preference. 
I really like you as a friend. 
I know what your thinking, but we're completely wrong for each other.

Answer

They are all brutally honest. As for #3, girls care more if they are not attractive. If you're looking for something to say to a guy try:
"You're not my cup of tea"
Don't expect much though.

Answer

i suggest : "you're not my type" ;)

Answer
