Qual è la differenza tra I'm not interested in you. e I don't care for you. ?Sentiti libero di rispondere con un esempio.

Which one is an appropriate translation for the lines below and the difference between them?

僕には彼女がいる。だから、君のことは気になっていない。。気になってなんか...ない。
(=君に関心なんてない。君を恋愛の対象として意識してはいない）

"I've got a girlfriend, so I'm not interested in you./I don't care for you.... I am not.../I do not...."

As a monologue in a movie trailer. He's attracted to the girl who once declared her love for him, but he doesn't want to admit it. ( He once dumped her since he's got a girlfriend, but he's getting attracted to her )

"I'm not interested in you" is better for the situation and tone. "I don't care for you" makes it sound like he hates her (if said rudely), and is a generally negative phrase either way. 'Caring' can include friendship, etc., so to say "I don't care for you", he would be saying he doesn't want anything to do with her. 'Interest' will always be interpreted as 'romantic interest' in this situation.
