    Long explanation...
    Wears them down a little, and shows them that I'm quite nerdy and think too much about things.

    I usually just say no, I like to get straight to the point when it comes to the matters of the heart.

    Showing my wedding ring.

    However, women tend to still try to flirt with me all the time - even more so - now that I'm married.

    I guess it's the stamp of approval.... :p

    I probably tend to give a long explanation, so I'll pop my vote in there. I'm not the type of person who can bring myself to just say no. :p



    Nice. :cool: [face_laugh]

    I haven't actually had to turn anybody down this way, but mentioning "my fiancée" in a conversation is how I've tended to deal with potentially problematic situations. Can't show a ring finger, as we guys don't generally get engagement rings, since there's not really a standard that could be recognized as such.

    I usually say no. I like that method because if i'm telling someone no, then there is no margin for error..

    Tip for the ladies: It's more merciful to just jam that dagger in our hearts than to slowly stab us all over....

    As for me, it's usually giving a long explanation :p.

    I'm a girl, and I say no--but I try to do that carefully. So far, I haven't offended any bloke so much that he would pull me by my hair and call me a *****...


    Edit: Stars all the way... :) -?Tyi

    yes, this one. Usually when they're just hinting and haven't said anything I must say no to.

    I said "other" to represent I've been shot down, but don't typically get to turn down others. :(
