Turtlegirl,
I prefer the later because I think people should be upfront with you. Or at least tell you if they have a boyfriend if their not interested and want to save a lot of time. However, I dont see how you could have much respect for someone if they string you along when they dont tell you at first that they do have a boyfriend. Speaking from a guys point of view. Yeah, I'm over the whole sparing feelings thing. I think its just a cop out personally. I have to agree also that girls do tend to look at you more when you have a significant other. Its almost like a mystique thing. Maybe its a challenge because the guy is desired by another girl and the confidence thing too.
Siobhan, thats a funny story. Thats hillarious how that guy wouldnt take no for an answer until he saw your bf.
