Here's a topic I'd liketo see get a little coverage here
in singles. I have asked ladies out a few times and gotten
turned down. (Don't get smart. I don't get turned down all
the time. Nor are my offers to take a lady out always accepted.)
What happened to me once was quite noteworthy though. I asked
her out and she declined on the grounds that she'd just started
going out with some guy and felt she should give him a chance.
According to her, he might be a nice guy and she wanted the
time to decide (a few dates with him) how they were gonna get
along. I liked her attitude ( beats the hell out of "Get lost
shmuck!") and didn't feel "shut down". There have been a few
times (I imagine for a lot of guys, not just me) when the women
was just plain insulting. This lady was quite nice about it.
Anyone got any comparable stories. I'd also like to see a list
of the most often used "turn downs".






















Lady, if you kiss me you'll live forever. The strange side effect
is that you may turn into a frog, but you'll live forever.



Best wishes,
