How to Reject a Girl

Okay guys, take note: this is EXACTLY what you should do when a girl asks you out and you aren't interested.

For some time, I had a crush on this guy Nick. Nick was my "type:" tall, lanky, with dark brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin. Oh, and he was completely gorgeous.

Nick also played the double bass. How sexy. Not only did he play in orchestra, but he also played in my school's top jazz band. Even sexier; Nick was a JAZZ bassist. As a side note, I've determined that I'm either going to marry a bass player or a saxophone player. Those are the two sexiest instruments. And jazz music gets me so hot.

Anyway, Nick was friends with my good friends Ashton and Maggie (they also play bass). Something you should know about Ashton-- he tells it like it is and doesn't hold back. He's the perfect friend to go to when you need advice because he will just give it to you straight, without any bullshit.

So I told Ashton that I really liked Nick, and asked him what I should do about it. Ashton said, "Whenever a girl asks me this question, I always respond with the same answer: ask him out. But for some reason, none of them ever take my advice."

Well, I was determined to change that. I was with Ashton in the bass room one afternoon when Nick came in. Nick and Ashton started talking. My mind was racing as I built up some courage. Ashton was there with me and I knew he supported me, so I just went for it.

Me: Hey Nick. Wanna go out for dinner sometime?
Nick: No.

Um. Okay. Kind of harsh, but whatever. I decided to keep talking to make it seem less horrible.

Me: Oh, because you're just too busy, right?
Nick: Right.
Me: Alright, well I'll see you guys later.


So this was actually fine. There was no bullshit in his answer, he was straight with me. I was disappointed that he wasn't interested, but at least I had tried.

It wasn't over yet, though.

That very same night, I went to dinner at one of the dining commons with Kelsey and Amanda. And who should I see there, but Nick, Ashton, and Maggie.

They came in after me, and I know that they saw me because I was in front of them in the line. Also, afterward I talked about it with Maggie. She had been horrified to learn that I had asked him out earlier in the day and he had rejected me. She also said that Nick had been actively avoiding someone, but she hadn't known at the time that it was me.

Anyway, Nick chose to say nothing to me. He completely ignored me.

He, Ashton, and Maggie sat down on the opposite side of the dining hall from me, and they were there for the same amount of time as me.

I couldn't believe it! Nick was such a fucking dick. He had told me he was too busy to have dinner with me, and here he was at the same dinner place, at the same time, for the same amount of time, and he ignored me.

And that, my friends, is the best way to reject a girl.
