   Here is yet another poll for the women of net.
 
 
   Suppose that you are unmarried, but have a steady boyfriend.
Your relationship with your boyfriend is good, but not perfect.
   One day you meet a man and strike up a conversation with him.
You converse for about ten minutes, and he seems to be a pleasant 
enough chap.  In the course of your conversation it so happens 
that you do not mention your boyfriend - he has no way of knowing 
that you have one.  He mentions an upcoming concert, and you decide
that you would like to attend this concert.  You ask him, "How much 
are the tickets?"
   He says, "Would you like to go with me?  Then it's free!"

(1)  What course would you take?  Would you say:
     (a)  "I'm sorry, I'm already involved with someone."
         - or -
     (b)  "I should warn you that I do have a steady boyfriend,       
           but I would still like to go with you as a friend."
          - or - 
     (c)  "Oh, wow!"  [Accept the invitation and postpone 
           telling him about your status of attachment.]
 
(2)  [If you replied "a" to Question 1:]  Would you consider
      it dishonourable to adopt course b or course c? 
 
(3)  [If you replied "b" to Question 1:]  Would you consider  
      it dishonourable to adopt course c?
 
(4)  [If you replied "a" or "c" to Question 1:]  In what (if 
      any) alternative way could the man have phrased the 
      invitation so that you would adopt course b?
 
 
   Please e-mail your responses.  If there is any interest in 
the results I will summarize to the net.
