Well, she doesn't really seem to have a problem hurting
his feeling when she feels it's called for, so why should it
be a problem for her to tell him she doesn't want to be his
girlfriend?

The yelling match after the Yule Ball was the perfect
opportunity to let him know what she thinks of him as future
boyfriend material.
If Hermione really didn't want to leave the door open for
Ron to ask her in the future, she'd could have said a dozen
different things that didn't include "ask me before someone
else does, and not as a last resort".
