How do you tell another womyn she's not your type?

I'm a grown womyn and I'm having diffulties tellng another grown womyn she's not my type.  I'm not 100% interested in her as a lover. I told her a gazillion times in subtle ways but she's so not listening to me. Yes,she's a lesbian. She's older than me. However, we don't click. There aren't sparks flying  from me to her but not the other way around ,you know. She said she has been interested in me since she first saw me at work 2 years ago. Ok. I only want to her to be my  friend. Yet, Last night she told me how she felt. I'm flattered but...I don't want her. She asked me to be her womyn (keep in mind no dates just hung out) I told her no! She's so cocky and thinks if I slept with her I would say yes to be her womyn b/c she's good in bed. LOL. Ego trippin ! At the same time,Im like a black widow spider. If I went there I just use her  for sex and I'm trying to grow out that immature behavior. So I don't want to go there. Help, what more can I say? Do I hurt her feelings more? Let go of the friendship? She's not gonna stop pursuing me. I know it.

Basically, I would use your words you wrote here.

Like, say to her...I am flattered and I don't want to hurt your feelings but I am not interested in anything beyond friendship with you.  I am not interested in a sex only relationship and I ask you to respect me and my wishes and stop pursuing me.

And if she doesn't respect you and your wishes...then she isn't even friend material and (again from my perspective) I wouldn't want her in my life, if I were you.

Maybe even tell her you will have to let go of her as a friend if she doesn't listen to you and respect you. 

Good luck!  :)

Thanks!

Thanks Pyewacket. Your words mean everything. The friendship with this other womyn is so brand new. She doesn't even know me that well. I will tell her that tonight on the phone.  If that's the way it has to be so be it.   I will seek other people as friends.
