Hey SD:

I hope I will be able to use the line when the time comes... It is hard for me to be direct - but the pushy variety of men approach try to leverage that to their advantage. Beer Tent Man was not a friend - I had just met him.

I had the exact opposite problem as your friend from the beer tent. If I asked you to do something and you say "I can't make it that weekend," or something equally non-commital, I assumed that you were not interested and wouldn't ask again (at least not anytime soon). Often I would find out afterwards that the woman was interested in me, just already had plans.


If I am interested and someone asks me out - I make it clear if I am busy that weekend that I would love to go out some other time. Too bad those women lost out by not being able to communicate with you.

I am sure you are far more nuanced that beer tent guy. From your post it is evident that you actually look for and listen for feedback. And when I was at The Resort - it was different - you did't feel like if someone was interesed that they were bound and determined to enter your space whether you liked it or not.

take care,
AG
