Couldn't agree more that this guy clearly wasn't paying attention to the details here, and that less is often more when telling a guy you're not interested. Handling rejection gracefully seems to be a lost art these days. Another friend of mine who politely rejected a guy was told by him that she would end up 40 and childless.

AND, most of those sites allow you to choose an age range in which you are looking to find a match. I'm sure if he had bothered to look at her profile more closely, he would've realized he was out of her range.

I discovered your blog via HARO and love it! ...Hi! I discovered your blog via HARO and love it! Can't wait to read more. <br /><br />Being somewhat older than mid-30s, I learned the hard way years ago not to feel obliged to answer the question "why" when posed by a gentleman who wants to know why I'm not interested. At the risk of drawing gross generalities, with *some* guys, "why" is shorthand for "defend your position so I can shoot it down."<br /><br />Your friend's response was lovely, elegant, thoughtful, and honest without being unkind. But we can all save ourselves a lot of time by simply saying, "Just don't want to...s'all." Period. <br /><br />When you think about it, it's pretty uncouth for the guy not to take a nine times hint and just buzz off on his own, with his dignity intact. No one with even a smidge of self-esteem would have asked the question "why."<br /><br />Ashton probably wouldn't have asked "why" Neither would Demi. I imagine their response would have been something along the lines of, "Cool. See you."Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411775876120480522noreply@blogger.com
