Message-ID: <539@hao.UUCP> Date: Mon, 13-Jun-83 15:21:08 EDT Article-I.D.: hao.539 Posted: Mon Jun 13 15:21:08 1983 Date-Received: Tue, 14-Jun-83 19:29:21 EDT Lines: 14 The major problem with the expression "You're a nice guy, but..." is what comes after the "but" is usually a cop-out. Very seldom does the lady in this scenario ever say what it is she *really* doesn't like, and that is my major complaint about this. I'd much rather know what it is she really doesn't like about me, so just maybe I could learn something from the [negative] experience of being turned down. The only line following the "but" I've ever heard that sounded real was, "You're a nice guy, and I really like you, but I don't think my boyfriend would appreciate it if I went out with you". Now *that's* a constructive response! :-) GREG {ucbvax!hplabs | allegra!nbires | decvax!brl-bmd | harpo!seismo | menlo70} !hao!woods
