Am I leading guys on...

Everytime a guy asks me to hangout, I kind of lead them on. Well not really, but they say "Let's hang out" and I say "okay". Then they say "Tell me when you're free", but I never do because I actually don't want to hang out with them. I don't mean to lead them on, but I have a hard time saying no to people so I avoid it and then I get stuck with them asking me 100 times to hang out. I also don't know these people well, so I really don't want to hang out alone with them... Am I actually leading them on, and what should I do?
Do you think it's normal?

They aren't "getting it" so you may want to try just staring at the boys who you've told several times already. If they still don't get it you may have to eventually just come out and say, "I don't think so."

The reason they aren't "getting it" is that you are actually leading them on.

When they ask you to hang out, and you agree, but then avoid doing so every time they ask--they start to think something is wrong with them, and will likely feel a lot worse than if you just say you aren't very interested from the start.

And worse, it might take them a long time to come to terms with the fact that you just don't want to hang out with them. It's easy to hold out hope in a situation where the other person is not telling you "no". So they keep trying, thinking maybe this time will be it.

Many people are not compatible with each other, or not right for each other, and it's best to get those situations out of the way quickly so that you both can move on. Dragging it out will not help either of you.
