There is a whole lot of greatness in your post. Just wanted to say Bravo!
And, I agree w/ the other guys, we men often (& I speak from being one of these at times) don't know when to take a hint and stop trying. Although, I've had a lot of women I wasn't really interested in keep pursuing in part because I became a challenge and more interesting for my resistance, nothing compares to the gaul we men are capable of in disrespecting boundaries women lay down. Sorry.
