Hypothetical Situation

Deb, I think black is the colour the lady is looking for....or wilted roses to signify the end. If he did not get the pictue, he will with dead roses (the relationship is dead)

 

Tell him you're gay -- as of today.

 

That's what Homer Simpson would suggest.

 

Or leave him a message saying that you wished you could have been there when the flowers were delivered, but you were at the doctor with "vagina problems." Guys love that.

 

You expect us to believe any woman would give it up to you?

 

I don't see outofplace defending himself here....

Can we read the answer on this one?

 

Some things are just ridiculous enough that they aren't worth correcting....like the idea that slappy could get any woman, much less her. I'd say my wife is out of his league, but she might take that as too left-handed of a compliment.

 

Try a sending a restraining order.

That should get the point across.

 

That's the correct answer. Refusing the flowers is rude, but you need to make things crystal clear for the guy. "You seem like a great guy, but I just don't think the chemistry is there. I hope you can find someone you really connect with." Just shoot him an email and be done with it.

 

Tell him thanks but ...

... you want to remain friends
... you just are coming off a serious relationship and don't want to be tied down
... he seems like a nice guy but your boyfriend Killer is up for parole and you want to see how that goes.
... you are a sex addict who is trying to break the habit and in fact last night was the first time you've been out with a guy and didn't sleep with him since you were 15. Thanks for giving you the strength to abstain.
... your doctor wants you to hold off dating until after round two of the "surgical process."
... you'd love to see him again but the Centers for Disease Control is all up in your grill again and won't permit it.
