    Us men gotta be careful

    I agree. Specifically though I think men need to be careful about who they flirt with and in what contexts. Flirting with people at their job should never be considered. Best case, you annoy her. Worst case, well… you explained one example. Either way, it’s generally wise not to annoy the people you want to hook up with.

      Nah, you take your shot (without being inappropriate) then you accept the answer gracefully.

      This guy did a three in one - she clearly went way, way beyond acceptable responses, but forcing out a straight “no” makes women uncomfortable.

      When she says “I have a boyfriend” or “I’m gay” or whatever, it may be the reason she’s saying no or she might just be lying to spare your pride and avoid a bad reaction. An excuse is definitely a “no” though

      You get one shot. If you’re the type who needs a clear answer, ask a clear question the first time

        You don’t write the rules, buddy. And at that rate, you might find yourself on the other side of rules you didn’t think existed.

        This may surprise you, but the world is not fair.
