YAGT (Sorta): How do you get shot down gracefully?

I didn't get shot down all that much prior to getting married, so maybe I'm not the best guy to answer, but I would say that the best way to not feel too embarrassed or stupid is to not invest too much in the request. That means probably asking more women out, and getting shot down more, I guess. If you get all sweaty-palmed and think "please say yes please say yes OMG" the whole time, she will notice your weird lack of confidence which makes it MORE likely she'll say no thanks, or just no. If you just smile and stay casual about it, inside and outside, you'll present yourself better AND you'll feel better if she still says no.

I read into that "I've only gotten shot down regularly since getting married." :laugh:

I got you beat, I was shot down this summer reason being she " was interested in another 'guy' back where she lived". A day later i found out that other 'guy' was actually in the same summer internship program we were all in. A month later, I realize she and another girl were hold hands, crying... visiting the bathroom with hands together.

Rejected by a straight girl is one thing, but what about when you get shot down by a girl that won't come clean and say she's a donut bumper? 😕

donut bumper....

HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHA

funniest thing i've heard all week
