Survey II: Bob-Inspired

My friend Bob has proposed a new topic of surveying and I think it's a good one.

Lamest excuse you've ever given for breaking up with someone, or for just not going out with them in the first place.

Mine: "I'd love to, but I have to watch Melrose Place."

That's a good one :) Mine is somewhere between "I have to watch Alias" or "I have to clean my apartment." They're both legitimate excuses though...

Unless you have TiVo (as I do now, not that it wants to work properly) or a VCR (as I did then). ;)

Avoidance. It's so lame, but sometimes I just don't return calls or emails. My list of people I need to avoid for life is quite lengthy and unfortunately grows with time.

Regarding incorrect uses of grammar and spelling, I have to admit that this one girl was both an overcusser and incorrectly used per se in almost all of the five conversations that we had. Not once did she use it correctly, not even accidentaly. It reminded me of the utility found as a child at my grandparents house - specifically in the bathroom where I would make good use of the Reader's Digest Word Power section.

Hmmm...aside of the guy who had chronic halitosis? I mean really...you are allowed ONE, I repeat ONE bad breath day. Everyone's entitled! But don't be coming around with "yuckmouth" and expect to get a little sumptin' sumptin' from moi. Ick. I stopped hanging out with the guy (who, I never TOLD had yuckmouth!) by telling him that I thought it was suspicious that after the last few times we hung out...I got sick. Coincidence? Me think'st not.
The best and LAMEST one I've heard from a guy is : "I'm just not emotionally available." Um, gentlemen...let me clue you in...us gals, well, we know that that actually translates in your minds as "Hey, I'd still like to 'hit' that...I just don't want to 'date' that." EVERYONE is emotionally available...and when they say they aren't, you just aren't the one...or as Pam quotes: "They're just not that into you."
Oh...and I almost stopped dating someone when he showed up wearing a purple collared shirt beneath a hunter green J Crew roll-neck. I had to catch myself and repeat in my head: "You can redress them...men are like paperdolls...you can redress them." ;-)
