Male and female friendship struggles

(I tried posting this to r/friendship but it was immediately removed?)

I feel like this is a common problem for girls, like every time you make a guy friend they end up confessing their love for you and it makes it awkward. I'm having the same problem but vice versa. I'm M 23, and I'm not interesting in dating at all. I move around a lot, location and job-wise, and romantic relationships are just not my thing (people have a hard time grasping the concept of a content single person). At my work, I befriended this girl that I have some things in common with, but I can definitely tell she's into me and has made it pretty obvious as of late. This is a problem I've run into several times before. There have been a couple instances where they've actually asked me out. I very politely decline and try to maintain the friendship, but they get all embarrassed and weird, and they eventually distance themselves. It's gotten to a point where I'm actually afraid of this happening every time I befriend a girl, so I keep a much bigger boundary with them and stay very distant. It sucks because I literally just want to be their friend but I feel like I can't. I feel like I can't preface that I just want to be their friend without sounding like a weirdo or asshole. Any advice?
