WHEN A WOMAN SAYS THIS:

1. I think of you as a brother.
Translation: You give me the creeps.

2. There's a slight difference in our ages.
Translation: I may as well be dating my dad.

3. I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way.
Translation: I don't want to be seen in public with a dork like you.

4. My life is too complicated right now.
Translation: I'm busy seeing other guys. Who are you again?

5. I've got a boyfriend.
Translation: I'd rather be with my male cat and a half gallon of Ben and Jerry's.

6. I don't date men where I work.
Translation: I wouldn't date you if you were in the same solar system, much less the same building.

7. It's not you, it's me.
Translation: It's you.

8. I'm concentrating on my career.
Translation: Even something as boring and unfulfilling as my job is better than dating you.

9. I'm saved, so my heart belongs to God.
Translation: I've sworn off men like you.

10. Let's be friends.
Translation: I want you to stay around so I can tell you in excruciating detail about all the other men I meet and go out with. I appreciate the male perspective.
