haha! well, I just usually say, sorry I am too busy.
I don't allow for any follow up questioning. I found that guys want to do the superficial flirt thing without anything real to back it up.

For instance. I went to a battery shop and bought a battery , of course :p . There was this guy behind me waiting in line.
anyway, I am outside putting the battery in my car then the cables on my brand new battery and out comes that same guy. He says, " hey, you need any help with that?" I said, nope I got it' 'chuckle chuckle' when my eyes said, " If you really wanted to help sucka you would have paid for the damn thing" or a bunch of other thoughts I was thinking when I drove off. Like, " no, I am doing this for my own amuzement" or "Do I look like I need help?" " I have the damn wrench in my hand don't I?" I mean how was that suppose to make me feel flattered he wanted to turn my wrench? I don't get it. :headshake

Sad that some feel the need for a number like that instead of just telling the truth. People deserve it.

Well.

I have offered such help in the past, and I had no ulterior motives. I would never consider purchasing the battery as my kind of help (under normal circumstances). I won't put words in your volunteer's mouth, but when I ask if I can help, it's just that. Not an entre to something else.

I think the difference was that she had the wrench in her hand and actually putting it in when she got the offer of helpIf she would ahve been standing there looking helplessly at the battery, it might have been seen as more of a just help offer. That is what I am reading from it. I could be sompletely wrong though :)

I'm just trying to figure out what sky's weakness is. There's got to be *something* that makes her swoon, but it is probably pretty challenging. Clearly not an easy pickup, this one. :)

Or, you could just wear a fake ring.

This speaks volumes about the social state of our culture. Whatever happened to people, you know, just politely dealing with it?

Because a lot of times this doesn't work. Not that I get hit on a lot, but when I do and I am not interested, at times they are just relentless.

Although, somehow I don't think the ring would work on all guys.

I wouldn't be interested in the kind of guy it didn't work on... why would you ever want to date someone who hits on engaged women?

Well duh......sex. There are guys that only hit on married women because they won't stay all night, won't be calling constantly, won't be looking for more that a roll in the hay.

Personally, married women are strictly off limits, but for some they are a gold mine. :rolleyes:

Coming from you, Bruce, it almost sounds desireable, though. :D

Soooo, sounds like the fake ring idea can be a bit of win/win if a girl is looking for the same thing. She wears the ring and only get hit on by the guys that are looking for a roll in the hay and the guys that want to settle down with the one arent gonna bother.
