I've been doing a fair amount of work on myself and I'm starting to get some interest from women. I don't want to date women from work or martial arts. Typically it's just flirting and I can manage that by just not escalating. I'm starting to get "I enjoyed our last chat, would you like to go out for coffee?" messages in my DMs.

I'm well aware I don't own anyone anything and a simple 'no' would work. I'm just curious how you all manage these expressions of interest without making things weird at a place where you'll see these women ongoingly after the rejection.
