Her: "So I was wondering would you like to get together for a drink tomorrow?" Me: "Thanks very much for the offer, but I'm busy." Her: "I thought you said you were off work?" Me: "I am." Her: "So what's the problem?" Me: "I don't have a problem, I have other plans." Her: "Sorry I thought you were single." Me: "I am." Her: "So whats the problem?"
Well, silly, singles spend all their time doing nothing, just waiting for a great invite to come along. They never have 'other plans'. I understand her obvious confusion.
Ice Says: Sorry I'm busy She hears: Bog off you ugly and/or boring (delete as appropriate) personage, I wouldn't want to be seen dead with you in public and would rather file the hard skin off my feet than go for a drink with you. I know, I know some of us can be a bit over sensative at times

You seem to be boasting you gave a lady the flick?

You seem to be boasting you gave a lady the flick? If I correctly infer the meaning of "flick", no, it was a simple sorry I'm busy, which I am. The assumption seems to be that because I'm a single guy I'm expected to jump at any offer. (Of course, had I known it was Jas in disguise I would have responded with a list of every free day I have for the next hundred years )

What makes some of you guys think that it is ok to treat someone in that way? If it was you being treated like this you would all be on here moaning and complaining that we don't pay you enough attention! Pah........ men! :P

I have never complained about lack of attention. Mind you, it seems a pretty effective ploy, I may give it a go ;)
To get an invite from a girlie you need to be reliable enough to take them up on it and not hurt them with inconsideration and dishonesty
This is that 'female logic' stuff I read about once, isn't it?

Have I missed something.. are you not supposed to be on a daytime ban on SH?
I know I'm probably coming in a bit late on this thread, but I think (ok, I know!) just where Ice is coming from in this...... There does seem to be an element of double standards. If a male approaches a female in the same way and she says she is busy (said with consideration, tact and diplomacy of course), people would not think anything of it - in fact if the man subsequently complained about the rejection - everyone would defend the females right to say no. Surely we, as females, should afford the same rights to a male being approached by a female. Just beacuse we are female we should alse be quite prepared to accept that a man may be busy, or may not even want to meet up WITHOUT licking up a song and dance and touting for sympathy. After all that is what we keep telling the men to do! I know some may dissagree with me and even berate me for my views. But let's face it girls we have been asking for equality for decades. So we should expect to be treated the same way we treat others - whatever the gender!
