The Man Who Thought Too Much is not pure biography. I am not Sam and I don't know anyone named Jenny. It's a story i made up having both seen and suffered the strange insecurity that strikes all of us us when we have been blown off. <BR>
<BR>
I make myself a great deal more vulnerable than I would like to. But as people have said. It is the only way.

if a girl turns you down once, asking her twice more is NOT going to make her change her mind, I've never turned someone down who I wanted to date... ever, and if I don't think a guy is worth the chance to prove himself on a a first date, then he doesn't every have a chance again.<BR>

Ah statistics,  wonderful things, they tell what populaces will do <BR>
statistics say women will do this or men will do that or all women are prone to.... or all men are prone to......umm one problem though, statistics are for large number of things never applied to the single<BR>
every person is vastly different from the next,  and this is the true wonder of it all, trying to find the differences in each. If she begs off from one date let her make the next and don't think wrong of her for doing this  she may be legit YOU DO NOT KNOW OTHERWISE... and maybe u are the marrying kind that make a young girl nervous lol don't change...never be anything but yourself lol its far easier to maintain

Jack, Riggs, a girl:<BR>
   Wow, I just caught that flying by here, lol. O.K. while I agree with you guys, a girl, has the right to her opinion as well, without being attacked. As Jack said, people are vastly different. Some are rigid in their thinking, others can be persuaded and some blow with the wind, with every varriance in between. She is merely stating her opinion here and I will tell you at a younger age I would have agreed with her. Women are picking out the genes for their offspring in natures mating dance. Still the survival of the fittest no matter how you slice and dice it, with both sexes picking out things for different reasons. Confusing as all hell agreed, but a mating dance just the same.<BR>
But I am only one person and it's just my opinion..OK Debate this nicely gentleman, we don't want to sound like other sites we know about.<BR>

a girl ~ The Riggs prose is not about a clear "No." situation. This is an "I can't because etc.." which sometimes means, "I can't because etc.." and could sometimes possibly mean "I've decided you were the last man on earth I'd rather kill myself than expose myself to the possibility of accidentally getting to know you better, but I'm too 'polite' or more likely too uncomfortable communicating that I can't do it effectively." A "let's just be friends", a "no", and a "I'm not ready for a relationship right now", or a "I just got out of a relationship" or "I've changed my mind" may have a bit of a sting, but they're pretty clear, and if all people used them all the time, things would could be nicer. But of course, "let's just be friends" might mean you actually want to be friends, or it might mean "I don't particuarly want you in my life. "<BR>
<BR>
Body language can help make an unclear response clearer, and so can tone of voice. But this is a problem of unclear communications, and if you think the other person is worth the effort, you might ask a couple times for further clarification. <BR>
<BR>
If you had more context then you could understand the delay or lack of clarity better, but when you don't, you end up making assumptions. Assumptions suck.<BR>
<BR>
I'd rather look like an idiot and know, then lose an opportunity worth pursuing.<BR>

My OU credentials are (mostly) almost...  I was accepted there, and even had a small scholarship (would most likely have majored in English and probably would have even graduated MANY years before I eventually did here at UNM), but could not pool the rest of the money late in the game...  Alas.  My dad is an OU graduate, and my cousin Mike is a season-ticket holder, and my brother and I were (quite animated and) excited observers of the game last night...<BR>

a girl ~ I realize the misunderstanding is caused by the word "blown off". When I said blown off, I meant either a) lack of response by either phone, or email, or b) cancellation, with an excuse, or c) getting stood up, with an excuse. Everybody's different, and she could be scatterbrained. Or you could be very optomistic. Or a donut.<BR>

Michael's right, and to be even more annoying there are women who say no with a twist just to see how interested the guy really is. I once told a guy no for about four days only to say yes on the fifth...LOL So there are way too many factors here for a guy to give up. It's not really about a woman having everthing, more like being strongly opinionated or playing chess with the situation before you even get there perhaps.<BR>

(back  at work... argh!!)<BR>
<BR>
I'm with 'a girl' ... in fact I am a girl..  ( no I'm a WOMAN.... ROOOOOAARR..... ) if I say turn down a date with a guy with a reason I give the opening for another chance.... "I can't Monday because..... how about Wednesday?".<BR>
<BR>
If I say 'No'.... or 'I can't'  or (hows this for a change) "I'm not interested" ... it means  I don't want to go.... The end. Don't ask again, I'm not going to go.  I'm not such hot stuff I expect a guy to chase after me, I just don't see the point in wasting my time if I am not interested.  <BR>
<BR>
Kirk once posted a quote from Mr Blue about dating.... something I always stuck with, these aren't the exact words... but it went something like...... 'as for kissing on the first date -- never date anyone   who  you'd not like to kiss immediately' .... and I don't. EVER.<BR>
<BR>
As for your comment BK.... turning a guy down 4 days in a row, I call that 'playing games' .. not nice, IMHO.... would you like a guy to do that to you? <BR>
