ESC From New York

Now what's the most subtle way to direct a guy's attention to this...? Hmm.

All good advice goes out the window when the hormones start racing.

It's very true, but I thought it was common knowledge. I always suggest another time if I'm interested but busy, and give a short excuse if I'm not. Girls will always make time for someone they like.

It took me forever to figure this out. I needed this info 10 years ago.

Ladies, sometimes it is just best to be blunt. We guys don't get subtle hints. Instead of being nice and having us try to "read between the lines", you just have to be mean. Most of the time, if you make an arbitrary statement, the guy will still interpret it as being positive, and will continue to ask you out. A simple "I'm sorry, but no" will suffice. It saves you both some time and stress.

Reminds me of the movie "Dumb and Dumber," when the awkward fella asks the beautiful lady, "So, what's the chance of our getting together? Like... one in a thousand... or, what.. maybe one in a million?"

Shyly, apologetically, she answers, "Yeah.. probably more like one in a million..."

The realization dawns on the poor hero. "So.. what you're saying is.. there's a chance!"

For most men, not blessed as Mr. Pitt, it's not so much about winning her over.. as wearing her down. It's a different kind of staying power.

A very helpful girl will give you a hint as to why she isn't interested. And a lot of us enjoy improvement projects, so please - if she does, take the hint.

I've always done it like this. It's common sense. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out.

On the other hand, I find that women don't understand this when i'm the one who's 'busy'.

I never had a problem getting dates, I just hated being on a date. For some reason my mind always just went blank. "Uh, so ...". Ugh. what's the rule for that?

You had to know that I'd doodle this one!
