Now, you wouldn't *really* prefer the one who said no -- think about it. This is a woman who did not want to go out with a cute, smart, funny guy who actually *reads* books and I'm sure knows how to carry on an interesting conversation. I don't think that you would really prefer to be with someone like that -- you might think so right now because you're feeling bad, but it will pass. Once a little time has passed, you won't even think about it.
