How to let a guy down easy

brendalaI was taking my 10 minute break at work today when a guy sat down at my booth and started flirting with me. First thing he asks: "How old are you?". I replied that he ought to know that its extremely rude to ask a woman's age. And he told me I looked young and he wanted to make sure I wasn't underage! O_o
...yup. I got asked out by a stranger today. That hasn't happened in a while.
Anyhoo, he said he worked nearby and asked if we could go out to coffee sometime. I asked why he would want to spend time with me when he didn't know the first thing about me and he said "Because you're attractive and you seem nice".
He seemed like a nice guy, so I asked if he was into cartoons, comics, anime, and/or video games. He said "No, I like music, movies, and I love going to the beach."
....yeah. Basically, this dude is dullsville (I'm surprised he didn't tell me he loved pina coladas and getting caught in the rain -_-) and I already know nothing will come of going out with him. The 'nerdy interest' thing is a big deal breaker for me; and I HATE the beach (I have Irish skin that fries like bacon in the sun). I was in a hurry to return from my break; so I didn't give this guy a definite answer. So now I'm mulling over how I should go about blowing him off. Should I...
a) try the coffee thing once just for the hell of it
b) just tell him that I'm not interested and tell him to "F**K OFF" if he persists
c) Tell him that I'm Orthodox and can only date Jewish men (I've used this one before and it worked pretty well).
