NO MEANS NO !
Just as it says "No" is no, not maybe or later or keep asking or any number of things you might have wished was said instead of "No".

A person does not have to be rude to say no. Anyone can say no in a polite way. If you are the object of the 'no', be you a single male, single female, or couple, you need to learn to read others not interested clues.
