The answer is always a blunt yes or no, anything extra is just to soften the blow.

No, it isn't.

It's possible to be ambivalent about rejecting somebody.

Only if you're dull.

Otherwise it should be a yes.

*shrug* I suppose the person being rejected could be good-looking but uninteresting, so I suppose 'dull' might be the word to describe them.

I was talking about the rejector (sp?).

If one is unsure then one should accept the date and see whether it's enjoyable or not.

To use this definition of "ambivalent" (from dictionary.reference.com)
"Psychology . the coexistence within an individual of positive and negative feelings toward the same person, object, or action, simultaneously drawing him or her in opposite directions. "
If one has positive feelings towards somebody, but the negative feelings are insurmountable, they could reject somebody but wish they didn't have to.

You hit 'er repeatedly with a brick, until she blacks out. When she comes to, wondering who she is, you tell her all about herself, and add in that you're her boyfriend of somewhere between 2 months and 2 years, depending on the mood.

That it's possible to reject someone ambivalently if you don't think a relationship would work out with them, but think they're sweet.

Speak and whatever you do, do not use a cheesy pick up line.
Once at the bar a guy got embarrassed because I heard his pick up line and just started laughing at it.
The line was "Hey Baby can I call you a Spanner? because you make my nuts tight"
Afterwards he got angry at my laughing and me saying it was the worst line I ever heard and asking him if it had ever worked before on a girl he didn’t need to pay for.
Then the girl he asked out and some of her group then sat down at the table I was on with my friends and after an hour or more gave me her number. Sadly I got very drunk and lost her number which taught me a very valuable lesson. PUT A GOOD LOOKING GIRLS NUMBER IN YOUR PHONE INSTANTLY
So perhaps you can get a two-man operation. Get a friend to ask a pathetic line and laugh at your friend pretending that you don’t know him.

For me if I am just in the mood for a short relation I find it is far better to be somewhere with other females. Most times I have picked up I enter with three or four girls and leave with some other girl.

But really there is not any line that works. The woman will either judge you on your physique if they are after a very short relationship, your personality if they will be going somewhere with you away from friends and your personality and interest in them as a person if they are looking for something lasting over a month.

"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.

^this.

Although I don't think I'll be doing that for a long while.

He said 'ask them out' not 'ask them for their hand in marriage'...isn't the point of going out to get to know someone better, see if there is a spark?

depends on the person, I don't like to date people I don't already know.

They're not going to waste their time and energy on one insignificant human being who's feeling sorry for themself. The world ain't out to get you; you're just paranoid.
