It's like Rob said about the bumperstickers, for some people, giving advice about D&R is just useless.

Would you just let it go already? Can we just stay on the subject before other members start blaming me for something you started. Geez.

it's still off the subject. frankly, i don't give a shit who takes me seriously on here. if some of the garbage i see posted on here about whatever is fine and dandy by other members, then i can be myself and post whatever the fuck i want. i haven't disrespected anyone's organization, and i haven't disrespected anyone who hasn't disrespected me. so i feel i'm following all the GC rules and regulations. so again, how about you two LADIES stay on the subject. is that more CREATIVE!

another note. nothing against you, but whenever that cheerful chick post, the subject always changes to her. self centered !@#%^^&

the question is: does anyone have a nice way to say "i like you as a friend, but i am not interested in a dating relationship with you"? she and i had a discussion about this, and neither of us could come up with a gentle, kind way to say that. i have asked several friends and none of them had an answer either. anyone?

This is a toughie...If she blurts out that it's a friends only thing, it could be that it is a friends thing, and then she would feel silly. He could turn out to be one of her best friends ever. All I can think of is that my mother always told me to be nice to these boys because you may end up sitting opposite them in that big job interview years down the road. It happened to her and her boss turned out to be a dear friend and helped her to become one of Sears first lady execs. years later..I told a guy that I was so nervous being around him that I statred to get a stomache...not so cool...His sister was pres of our sorority at the time and his uncle ended up being one of my professors later on in a very hard course...dang...When he whipped out his guitar and sang a song he had written for me and I had nowhere to look, I was over it. You always want the nice guy and then when you get him, it freeks you out. (I would go with being still in love with an old beau)
