So, she can reject the guy outright with a "no" and engender immediate negative repercussions which could get her fired. Or, she can play along and seem to acquiesce, which will work out much better. If she is going to lie anyway, why not just say she has a jealous boyfriend who is a memb...

The strength to keep going on those days when I wish I could lie down and never get back up again.

I've seen that go on with university profs I've known. I'm not judging or anything, but outside of university, the family would be coming after me with a shotgun as a cradle robber, but inside university, there are some really cute young babes that are all over their profs, even when the prof is ol...

Well what do you make of it? Women who are out to tease don't not turn up. Where's the fun in that? They spend a very great deal of time with their target not quite saying yes. It occurs to me upon a re-read of your post that we may not be talking about the same thing here. I'm talking about asking...

Certain kinds of intensity people don't want to engage with but don't want to say no to either. I can agree with that. But I don't think you get from someone like that, "Sorry I stood you up; I'd like to try it again. By the way, here's my phone number so that you can contact me any time you l...

...they have to make you feel welcome; that's their job. That's an interesting take on the situtation. As I understand it, the girl stands him up. Apologizes profusely the next time they see each other at the bar. GIVES HIM HER PHONE NUMBER. Again agrees to meet him on her night off. Doesn't show u...

The truth is that she is playing you for a fool and loving it - that's why she continues to do it. So, what would happen if you found another hang out and just started ignoring her - permanently? My guess is that what you are going to hear her say pretty soon, if she hasn't already, is that she has...

Ok. I'm all set to play by saying they are Michael Caine and that girl from "Officer and A Gentleman," and I scroll down, and POW the game's already over with the first answer. What sort of a rigged contest is this???

I've been in the same boat myself. It's one thing, and I can kind of understand, the "she's too nice to say no" mentality. But when she later gives you her phone number and continues the "no show" game then there is only one word to describe a girl like that. B**** As much as I h...

Yes it is.

Hmmm. Interesting, if strange, question. From what I know about combat I don't believe I'd like to go. Period. Too much bleeding and guts and screaming and raw hate. And crying back home. There just doen't seem to be much point to it. But then I've always been sort of a wet blanket when it comes to ...

"Who am I to say, 'Well, if you love our music, here's what you ought to love.' It's all part of the spectrum of being Irish." Exactly! Having an opinion about liking or disliking something is one thing. Believing that everyone else must share that opinion because you think it is some uni...

It isn't that it's a bad song--tune, lyrics, and all are great. It's just that it is SO overdone. A song that sentimental should be performed very, very sparingly. When people equate Danny Boy with Irish Trad music--and many, many people seem to do just that--you hear the song way too much, it lose...

The experience of relatives traveling from Kansas City to Chicago has been that LONG stops in the middle of no where is not uncommon (2 - 3 hours) because of something going on farther down the track. Seems like Steve Martin and John Candy had similar train problems in the movie. Of course airplanes...

Tell me. What is it exactly that you object to so much that you make it a point of scorn? Is it the lyrics? Is it the melody? Interesting that if they are "real" Irish people (whatever that means) they apparantly have nothing to do with the tune. How 'bout this real Irish interpretation? ...
