Curse KZbin studio for not letting me jump to channels from the comments, only for other media to randomly suggest your stuff.

It's generally not wise to openly reject someone who displays clear signs of being unhinged. "I'm not looking to date right now" roughly translates to "No, but I feel like you have the capacity to be a danger to me and don't want to antagonize you."
