The art of rejection

Rejection Lines By Women - What They Mean

10. I think of you as a brother... You remind me of that banjo player in "Deliverance."

9. There's a silent difference in our ages... I don't want to date my Dad.

8. I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way... You are the ugliest dork I've ever laid eyes on.

7. My life is too complicated right now... I don't want you spending the night or else you may hear phone calls from all the other guys.

6. I've got a boyfriend... I prefer the company of my cat and a half gallon of Ben and Jerry's.

5. I don't date men where I work... I wouldn't date you if you were in the same 'solar system,' much less the same building.

4. It's not you, it's me... It's you.

3. I'm concentrating on my career... Even something as boring and unfulfilling as my job is better than dating you.

2. I'm celibate... I've sworn off only the men like you.

1. Let's be friends... I want you to stay around so I can tell you in excruciating detail about all the other men I sleep with.


***********************

How do you normally give out rejection? Are you an email person, a phone person, an in-person person? I'm one of those people who have a real hard time "telling it like it is," and I usually make a mess of anything I try to do in this department. I just plain suck at telling someone "Hey, I'm just not that into you." (remember girls, this episode of Sex & The City? LMAO) I'm glad I have me a great guy now, so I won't have to worry about that!!
