Jeśli mam odpowiedzieć bez udawania zgody, potrzebuję chwili, żeby oddzielić własne rozczarowanie od oceny twojego pomysłu.

I would prefer us not to turn this into a joke before the person concerned sets that tone themselves.

When I ask for a little space, I mean the freedom to make a decision, not necessarily physical distance from you.

The remark 'quite good for a first attempt' can express encouragement while lowering the benchmark; how it is received also depends on the tone and the speakers' relationship.

A request for silence may concern that particular moment rather than rejecting the conversation itself; let us ask when we can return to it instead of giving the refusal a broader meaning.

My reservation concerns the effects of this proposal under the current conditions, not your ability to suggest solutions; I want that distinction to remain clear.

The invitation 'drop by if you feel like it' leaves a choice, but in a particular relationship it may be read as an expectation; it is worth checking whether declining is genuinely an option.
