If I receive a "no" on my first try, I look for an inkling of interest
in her eyes or voice.  Even something obvious like, "Call me again soon".
But if I don't feel there is a mutual attraction, I leave her alone; maybe
striking up a friendship instead.
   As for being "over for good" when a relationship is broken, I am good friends
 with every girl that I considered a SO.  ( Of course there have only been
four)  I talk to them about once a week and every once in a while we do things
together.  
   If I'm in a casual relationship and feel like I'm getting lied to or used,
I usually don't call back.  But I always try to be friends.  To me, one can
never have enough friends.
                   Happy Trails,
                             Mark
