A close friend and I were discussing what we do if a person we ask
out says no the first time, or stands us up.  We discovered that
we both adopt the same practice:  we do not try again, assuming that
if the other person is really interested, he or she will ask the
next time.

What does everyone else think?  If you are told "no" the first time,
do you give up?  Once you break up with someone, is it over for
good?  Is "no" forever unless proven otherwise?

And how do you feel about someone you have said "no" to once who refuses
to give up?

Presented for your consideration,
Pooh

Birthdays are like men. . .
We'd like to give 'em up, but they're so darned much fun!
