subj; asking people out

	When faced with a vague or 'I'm busy that night' response,
one nice option is to turn things around.

	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.
