Her: "So I was wondering would you like to get together for a drink tomorrow?"
Me: "Thanks very much for the offer, but I'm busy."
Her: "I thought you said you were off work?"
Me: "I am."
Her: "So what's the problem?"
Me: "I don't have a problem, I have other plans."
Her: "Sorry I thought you were single."
Me: "I am."
Her: "So whats the problem?"
banghead

Yeah Ice.... whats the problem? rotflmao

11 Nov 2004

So why haven't you dropped everything so you can see her then? wink

11 Nov 2004

Well, silly, singles spend all their time doing nothing, just waiting for a great invite to come along. They never have 'other plans'. I understand her obvious confusion.
smile

I've got no plans right now, send her my way.
;)

11 Nov 2004

So where are you going with the other woman??????

Ice Says: Sorry I'm busy
She hears: Bog off you ugly and/or boring (delete as appropriate) personage, I wouldn't want to be seen dead with you in public and would rather file the hard skin off my feet than go for a drink with you.
I know, I know some of us can be a bit over sensative at times rolleyes

If I correctly infer the meaning of "flick", no, it was a simple sorry I'm busy, which I am. The assumption seems to be that because I'm a single guy I'm expected to jump at any offer. dunno

(Of course, had I known it was Jas in disguise I would have responded with a list of every free day I have for the next hundred years biggrin

What makes some of you guys think that it is ok to treat someone in that way? If it was you being treated like this you would all be on here moaning and complaining that we don't pay you enough attention! Pah........ men! rolleyes

:P

I have never complained about lack of attention.
Mind you, it seems a pretty effective ploy, I may give it a go ;)

To get an invite from a girlie you need to be reliable enough to take them up on it and not hurt them with inconsideration and dishonesty

This is that 'female logic' stuff I read about once, isn't it? lol

Have I missed something.. are you not supposed to be on a daytime ban on SH? smackbottom

11 Nov 2004

I'm having a lunch break and had some bad news today, so the work is on hold right now.

11 Nov 2004

Ahh.. thats ok then (well its not ok that you had bad news obviously.. and ((((hugs)))).. but its ok that you're not just skivving smile

12 Nov 2004

I know I'm probably coming in a bit late on this thread, but I think (ok, I know!) just where Ice is coming from in this......
There does seem to be an element of double standards.
If a male approaches a female in the same way and she says she is busy (said with consideration, tact and diplomacy of course), people would not think anything of it - in fact if the man subsequently complained about the rejection - everyone would defend the females right to say no.
Surely we, as females, should afford the same rights to a male being approached by a female. Just beacuse we are female we should alse be quite prepared to accept that a man may be busy, or may not even want to meet up WITHOUT licking up a song and dance and touting for sympathy. After all that is what we keep telling the men to do!
I know some may dissagree with me and even berate me for my views.
But let's face it girls we have been asking for equality for decades. So we should expect to be treated the same way we treat others - whatever the gender!

12 Nov 2004

I've finished!!!! :smile2:
Ice is now not busy biggrin

12 Nov 2004

Who is going to want Ice now he is completely *ucked though?
