"I'm seeing someone, but I admire your confidence"

[grue 1]

What the fuck is that supposed to be, a consolation prize?!

Consolation would have been a good BJ.

My reality and yours are quite different.

Time is ripe for the old comeback..."Well, I guess a BJ is out of the question".

I very much wanted to go with "I can't put my dick into admiration", but I wanted to maintain some semblance of civility for reasons I have yet to understand.

I've got enough of those. It's kinda like collecting matchbox cars… having the cool looking ones is fun, but you'd rather have a full sized one you can actually drive.

It means you almost had her.

But after a comment like that, why would you want to?

OK, guys. Help me out here.

Why is that such a bad comment? She's being open and honest with her current status, but yet still giving a compliment.

Other than offering the BJ as the consolation, what would have been a "better" comment?

[LuckyMcSwervy 0]

Why didn't she just say, "Oh, that's so cute! He actually thought he had a chance with *me*!"

The seeing someone line is hopefully honest, but I think you need to be very tactful. The last time I was asked out I was seeing someone and my answer was, "Thank you so mucih but I've been seeing someone for a while. But I am sooooo *flattered* you asked!"

Always be kinder than you feel.

Nope, you missed the best comeback to any type of I have a boyfriend, or seeing someone letdown.

"Are you happy?" nuff said.

Are you saying you want a..ahem...large girlfriend?

Yeah, that's much better.
"I admire your confidence..." sounds like the first half of the thought, "...considering how f-ing ugly you are."

I think so, too. On the other hand, I think it's probable that she was trying to be nice, even if it didn't actually end up coming out that way. It sounds like she's trying to acknowledge that it's hard to approach someone and ask them out cold. I think this is one of those situations where you have to look at the intent and not the actual delivery.

You know, if I was going to ask someone out, I would find out about the "seeing someone" status first. But that's just me.

[chaoskitty 0]

What did you say to her? Were you the polite young gentleman that we all know and love?

If you hit on her, gave her a line or some other transparent comment, then I'd say her response was full of sarcasm.

But if you just asked her out, then it seems she was saying thanks for asking, I have a boyfriend and I dont cheat on him, but its nice that YOU have the balls to ask a woman out, unlike a lot of men. I'd take it as a compliment.

Sorry you didn't get the "prize" though. You should have asked her if her sister is seeing someone.

Yeah, but the OP doesn't tell us the context: fellow student on campus? co-worker? just met her at a bar or party? etc.

easier said than done. However, I've found that if you just strike up a converstation, easier said than done, that if they get you are hoping to get a number they will drop the boyfriend line in there somewhere. Whether or not it's true, who knows, but you've been saved the rejection of asking and then getting a no I'm seeing someone.

Or you could just come right out and say are you single?

Hey, lighten up. That wasn't a shoot-down, just a "no thanks." Amazing as it sounds, she maybe already had a boyfriend. As far as her exact words, sounds like she may have been a little flustered or caught off guard. People can say dumb, random things in those moments without meaning anything.

On to the next one. Maybe she'll be single.

Why would any of that matter? It still seems like common sense to find out the relationship status before asking someone out for a date.

Looks like you're using cut-and-paste this week.
