Today, I finally figured out that when a man says "Maybe some other time, I'll be busy then" more than once, he really means "I don't really want to see you again. I didn't think you'd actually USE my number." FML

Lets see, he didn't say no, he blew her off and she had to piece together what he actually meant.
That, to me, is the pussy way out. If he wasn't interested in her in the first place, why'd he even give her his real number? Let alone a number at all?

He should've given her the Soulja Boii Hotline instead!

"Good morning! Jump on up and get yo swag on, this is Soulja Boi!"

#14 - On 09/17/2009 at 6:17am by allmidnighteyes

I love the idea behind the Soulja Boy hotline. I used to create hotlines like that in a past life, but for moderately known french celebrities. Yeah, I'm ashamed!

how can you even give the rejection hotline, it's the wrong area code? i thought it was funny when i found the number on the internet and called it. but only an idiot would actually call that number and think it was real.

Guys are pussies. Thats why its best to let them do the chasing. Girls will be more up front, at some point, and come clean that they arent really interested. Guys will just continue to be cowardly/avoidant/making excuses, because, despite anatomy, girls have the bigger balls.

That does suck. I wish everyone could be more honest. I went through this a few times with a woman I knew before I realized she was always going to be too busy for me. It would have saved a lot of confusion if she had just said no thanks.

You're not reading it right! It's not "toxic cunt", it's the word "intoxicant" (ie. something intoxicating, and thus desirable) combined with "cunt". So my cunt is intoxicating. Now are you interested?

Lol. Yeah, I use this site a LOT, so it will take you...approximately forever. I like your version as well. No one seems to take it the way I meant it (a play on "intoxicant"), but that's fine. Like all great art, it's open to interpretation. Yes, I called myself a great work of art. Want to fight about it? Good.

it's a little oddly phrased, but, it seems more like they were saying Maybe another time, I'll be busy then, 'then' meaning the specific time that OP was asking about. get it?

#59 - On 09/17/2009 at 11:35am by _THE_MASTER_

I'm assuming the OP asked if he was free for a specific time, or else it wouldn't make any sense either way. Now take your douche and shove it up your own.

#64 - On 09/17/2009 at 11:59am by eiji_chan

You're dumb.

He tells you, "maybe I'll be busy then," should have been a clear indicator that he never wanted to see you again.

Especially after he said it more than once.

I'm not going to pay her, though. I'll just move in with her and do her laundry and such for her. Win/win situation there. I'll slip you odd gifts in the middle of the night: dead rats, sammiches, dead rat sammiches...

as for the love/more love relationship you get by having a stalker, the best part is when she appears from under your bed when you're about to go to sleep and announces that you're family is being held hostage. and the only way to free them is marriage. "Love is in the air" plays in my head EVERY time that happens.

it's annoying that guys can never just be straight forward.
i've had guys say i'm busy because they were actually busy and i've had guys say i'm busy because they weren't interested. it really depends.
then they wonder why women don't get the hint...

#95 - On 09/17/2009 at 2:33pm by ajj

(0)

Yeah, but it works both ways.
Funny story, this guy I know was dating this girl for a while.
He was getting kind of serious about her.
He is middle aged and ready to finally settle down.
He calls her and says, "So how about we go out Friday?"
She says she's busy.
He says "How about Saturday?"
She says she's busy then too.
He finally asks "Well can I at least see you Sunday?"
And she says, "I can't see you then, I'm getting married Sunday."
Lol, true story of a friend of mine.
Point being, girls avoid rejecting guys a lot too.

#96 - On 09/17/2009 at 2:37pm by Intoxicunt

Well, at least he didn't say you were ugly. If he did, I'd punch his face, if I were you. Because some men can be complete assholes.

Of course, I believe you probably are really pretty, it's just that most men only want supermodels... Too picky for their own good.
