Interesting. I've done the entire spectrum of "No," from white lying my way out of the situation - yes, I have a boyfriend, yes, I have somewhere I need to be, yes, you can have my number *gives fake number* - to threatening someone with a shovel.
In my experience, there has been no "correct" response to such aggressive advances. They understood the "soft no" perfectly fine. They merely refused to accept it and hoped that escalation would wear me down (it didn't).
