In the relationships I've been in, when it comes to showing disinterest or breaking up, I've always been the honest one, saying "No," or "I'm not interested, etc." I had one guy give me a blank look and ask if we could go out again, even after I had said "No." I'm not like most girls; in fact, some say I think more like a guy. Sure, I may beat around the bush once in a while, but not nearly as often as most females do. And where does that leave me? Well, thankfully I met a man who understands and appreciates me, and loves me for the non girly-girl that I am. :) It’s so sad that we women get such a bad rap for not coming right out and saying what we mean.

It's not such a negative thing that women "beat around the bush" often because while they do sometimes mislead guys by not being upfront, at the same time it's because they actually do care about a man's feelings (in general). Besides it's unfortunate that so many men cannot see these "excuses" as a way of saying "No!" Miss... Thats for the compliment... wait are you just being "Nice"? Bia Dia (Beatriz)... Good ones! Maybe there should be a part 2 to this article... ShockTube... Very true shock Julia….

On my now husband. LOL. I'd pretty much sworn off men and I told him it wasn't PERSONAL (which it really wasn't as evidenced by the wedding six months later.) I do think it's tough to just turn a guy down. I was at a bar with some friends recently and a guy (who was quite inebriated) got right in my face and said "Whasyername?" My answer? "Married" Harsh but effective. Could it be that some of us are hedging our bets? What if we're wrong? What if we say "no" today and find out we really should have said "yes"? Do we blow our chances by saying "NO" straight out? As one who married a man who was soooooooo not her type (sleazy, cheating bastards) I'm grateful that I didn't shoot my future husband down.

Of course, "I'll call you" is the most famous, and when you run into him later or he wants to hook up, he may say "I've been really busy." I've finally learned how to be more direct recently when I don't want to see someone. If you don't they usually just keep pushing it. Men also use some of these lies.

I can barely count the number of times females have said that to me. Of course they never do. Another one I heard was "I moving to Toronto to go to school". At the time she lived in Alberta; and now, three and a half years later, she still hasn't moved.
