A: Would you like to go to the Schonberg concert this Saturday? B: No, I can't, I have to wash the cat. A: Aw gee. Well, I'd really like to get together sometime, so if you're interested, please feel free to give me a call. This avoids forcing a rejection, and eliminates having to ask again. If they're really interested, they take the next step. If you're into traditional sex-roles, well,...that's your problem. ,km
