In general, I try to listen to the way someone says
"no."  Usually, there are verbal and nonverbal clues
that tell you whether "no" means "no, never, forget it,
yuck," "no, not now, but another time perhaps,"
"no, because I'm involved with someone, but I'm really
tempted, and may get back to you."

The only problem is, they're only clues; you have
to interpret them, and one can always interpret wrong.

So what else is new?
