So any good lines to a person who keeps messaging me who wants to meet up for a coffee. I dont want to basically, nothing particularly against them , we used to meet up now and again, but imo we are clearly on different paths, our interests/topics of conversation are very very different. They seem to like my positivity and they seem very sensitive to rejection too. Wanna say no gently so to speak. Any one got any lines?

Hi Susan, I'm not free at the moment to meet up but if I am I will let you know.

That's the lame get out option.

Personally I would say,

Hi Susan, I'm glad you're doing well but I don't want to meet up anymore. Best wishes.

It's not kinder to block! Just say you're too busy and eventually she'll find someone less busy.

So direct, love it! That would work for me very well but this person is VERY sensitive to rejection

I would go with this. If they still keep messaging you afterwards then feel free to ignore.
