Hi, Rachel.

RLA>                    Top 10 Rejection Lines Given By Women
RLA>                        (and what they actually mean)

I hope you weren't posting this as a joke, these are *real* lines!

RLA> 10. I think of you as a brother. (You remind me of that inbred banjo
RLA>     playing geek in "Deliverance.")

Person D said that, although I think she actually said "father".

RLA>  9 . There's a slight difference in our ages. (You are one jurassic
RLA> geezer.)

Person M said that.

RLA>  8 . I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way. (You are the ugliest dork I'v
RLA>      ever laid eyes upon.)

Person V.

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

Hmmm, don't think I've had that one (but she was right anyway).

RLA>  6.  I've got a boyfriend (who's really my male cat and a half gallon of
RLA>      Ben and Jerry's).

V again (but unfortunately it's not).

RLA>  5.  I don't date men where I work. (Hey, bud, I wouldn't even date you
RLA>      if  you were in the same 'solar system', much less the same building.

Person D.

RLA>  4.  It's not you, it's me. (It's not me, it's you.)

Forget who.

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

Person F.

RLA>  2.  I'm celibate. (I've sworn off only the men like you.)

Never!

RLA> and the number 1 rejection line given by women (and what it actually means

RLA>  1.  Let's be friends. (I want you to stay around so I can tell you in
RLA>      excruciating detail about all the other men I meet and have sex
RLA>      with.  It's that male perspective thing)

Persons V & J, but particularly D (for the interpretation).

RLA>                     Top 10 Rejection Lines Given By Men
RLA>                        (and what they actually mean)

RLA> 10.  I think of you as a sister. (You're ugly.)

etc, etc. No-one's *that* ugly. :-)
