Early setting of expectations

[Kvothe]

So I'm curious how you can set up the fact that you're not interested in a long-term/serious/monogamous relationship off the bat when you meet a girl. For me, I'm worried that I'll set up expectations wrong and end up in the boyfriend zone. I've read the articles on the boyfriend dilemma and how to get out of it, but I was wondering if somebody could provide more concrete examples of ways to do so.
Thanks,
Kvothe

By rationing the time and attention you dole out. You demonstrate that there are things and goals that come ahead of her through actions rather than words. That can either make her pursue harder or go looking more more of a BF candidate.

You are too busy to see her on a "date night"
You can see her for an hour or two but have to get somewhere,
You don't talk to her unless it is to meet up
You never say explicitly you are seeing other women, but you don't say you aren't either.
You don't go to family events with her.
You don't introduce her to friends.
