So, I had a guy hand me his number today and he followed it with, “I mean no disrespect, but here—”

I told him I was flattered but had a long term, serious girlfriend, who I loved very much.

To which he responded, still pleasant and with polite interest,  ”She’s a lucky woman. How long have you been together?”

THAT is how you approach/handle a ‘no’, boys. take fucking notes.

Reblogging because this is freakin’ important

The ability to politely and respectfully accept a “no” in response to your attempt to get with someone romantically or sexually ought to be considered the most basic social accomplishment for adults and a necessary prerequisite to being allowed in public unsupervised by a grownup.
