What is the nicest way of saying I'm not interested?
Just be direct but polite. Say, "I appreciate your openness and interest, but I'm not able to reciprocate it. I know it might sound hard to hear, but I'm not interested in moving forward." This will not put them off and let them move on from you easily too.
What to say: “I've so enjoyed getting to know you. Because I respect you so much, I'd rather be honest. I'm not feeling a romantic connection. I really like you and would even be interested in being friends, but would never want to send the wrong signals, so please tell me if that is something you are interested in.
You might, instead, say how nice or tempting the offer is: It would be really nice, but I'm afraid I can't come. That sounds great, but I'm afraid I can't come. That's a really nice invitation, but I'm afraid I can't come.

Soft ghosting refers to someone 'liking' your last message or latest comment on their post on platforms like Facebook and Instagram where it's possible to react to an interaction, but not actually replying and continuing the conversation. So, although they're not ignoring you, they're also offering no genuine response.
While every relationship is different, three days is enough time to consider yourself ghosted. Sure, everyone has emergencies or can come up with a valid excuse for not responding, but letting things linger for three days or longer is enough to categorise it as a ghosted situation.
