Except for the assholes who say "why won't you go out with me"
Thank you, but, no thank you.
Really. That's all you say. I had it down pat by 17. It even works. Miss Manners is right with this one.

"Well, for starters, you're asking that question..."
I usually responded with something like "Well, you don't seem to know how to take no for an answer, which does not bode well."
How about if he'd returned feelings, but refused to act on them due to his existing obligations? Y'know, due to him being all noble and shit.
I would say he's probably still have lost his shininess, because I liked that he was all lovey with his wife. Of course now I kinda think my crush wasn't so much on that particular guy, but maybe just that kind of guy.

Snerk. There's a guy in my office I keep wanting to say that to. I mean, his reply to "socializing one-on-one with you makes me uncomfortable, and I don't think that's fixable" was "I think it is fixable! Here are some suggestions." Uh, no, see, you're increasing the uncomfortable there. Not helping!
(Obligatory disclaimer: I've done plenty of Stupid Relationship Things in my life too, God knows.)
I don't know that I get the 'not ready' part of the Xander and Buffy equation
Uh - yeah. I actually meant to write
she wasn't sure she was interested in a relationship with him - in fact was pretty clear that she WASN'T interested.

I think that's the reason Miss Manners says not to give reasons. People argue with reasons. Pretty hard to argue with a stone wall that just keeps saying, "No, that's not possible."
People argue with reasons.
Yes. Exactly. It was reasons that allowed me lie to myself and think that I could argue my way into a relationship.

exactly. but my little answer seemed to shut them up. On the rare occasions that i was actually asked on a date, that is. I seem to have the "hang out a lot and fall into a relationship" thing. I don't know if I've ever had a real date.
Although she doesn't flash a lot of skin or have any hot love scenes in American Wedding
Oh. Well. I guess I can wait for the video, then.
