    How to let someone down easy.

    So earlier today some guy wanted to watch some Rob Schneider video with him but I unfortunately don't swing that way, what would be the best way to let him down easy without hurting his feelings?

    Also, what do you guys and gals do to someone who you may or may not like and you want to tell them off without sounding like a douche?

Then again this one is kind of on the outs with me if she doesn't straighten up and fly right so that means I will be back in it for the thrill of the kill. Got some in the reserves. Even got a rePETEr (<---- like that ay? AYYYYY?) on the back burner.

    Block: I do like the rePETEr except it kinda makes it sound like you're going to pork Pete. No homo.

    You should just do it with him. He might be hurt otherwise. What's 34 seconds of your time? After that, you can just avoid him like the plague so you never have to commit to anything again.

    Until now!

    Listen to Jin, don't forget your strap on. YES you should bring a strap on for reasons already discussed

    I usually just make up some terrible excuse, and if it's something I know they will ask again like "oh what about next Tuesday?" I'll just say I will be out of town or there's a possibility I will and it's a wait and see situation.

    I was thinking that since I'm artificially creating it, I'll create it with rocket fuel instead of blood, and thus it will be able to fly, using the dolphin's dorsal fins as wings. And from the air, it will look down upon us all and protect us against sharks, and search for bananas.

    You sneak out in the middle of the night, right after you put it in her pooper, and after she falls into a deeper sleep. Just make sure to delete your number from her phone first.

    In all honesty, I usually just tell people that I'm really busy or too tired to do something, or that I have prior plans. Most of the time it works, unless they're really persistent. Usually then, I'll wind up being pretty up front and rude, with a simple "I'm really not in the mood for that right now."

    I'm honest...I'm not a real "let down nicely" kinda guy, its better for her to know why she wasnt up to your standards at the time, so she can improve and understand her downfalls.

    Re: How to let someone down easy.

    If anybody ever asks you to watch a Rob Schneider movie with them, you should just never talk to them again ever.

    I don't care if god damned Isla Fischer asked me if I wanted to watch The Hot Chick with her. I'd probably still flip her off and maybe slap her in the face because no seriously, Rob Schneider is horrible.
    Let's go into the "archives" in "Washington D.C." and find out how people "masturbated" in the "roaring 20's."

    If Isla Fischer asked you to watch The Hot Chick with her though, there's a chance it might not just be about watching the movie. It could end up just being background noise to cover up the sound of you two having sex.

    Re: How to let someone down easy.

    two things I usually try, 1 is ignore them and change the topic and hope they drop the film, unless they are desperate then they usually will change the subject and forget about it, 2 make up the worst excuse possible such as sorry i am mending the squeeky wheel on my bike on that day, or even better i am reading the dictionary that day(boring) this generally tends to annoy the person and they dislike you for it and don't ask you to watch _______ (say not his name only space) again
    this is it the final boss now there is no turning back....

    Re: How to let someone down easy.

    If I am not friends with someone, and they ask me to do something that I am not into, like watch a gay movie then I will let them know that I am not into it. If it is my friends I tell them to f*ck off haha.

    Sitting here waiting for Rocky, and Che to notice me!!

    Re: How to let someone down easy.

    Knowing me, I'll watch the film - I'll be out of my house and chilling with a friend, so it's no big deal. I'm not really a Rob Schneider fan, so if I wasn't in the mood I'd suggest another film. Then again, me and my friends have the same/ish taste in films. *shrug*

    As for otherwise... well. Not much else I can say but "I'm in a relationship, but we can hang out sometime if you'd like?" It's nice making new friends.

    If I don't like someone, I'm not usually a douche to them. Even granted the opportunity, I don't think it'd bother me if I did play the douche.

    Re: How to let someone down easy.

    That video was full of WIN. Ordering food and then leaving? Doing the guy's boss? Oh it's on. What he did was the perfect comeback to her lame-ass dumping of him. That new cell phone commercial where the girl breaks up with the guy by text, email, phone call across the table at a restaurant was pretty rough too. I so wanted it to switch to her Facebook account getting hacked with nude pictures of her on it or something... and then emailed to her boss...

    In any case, I'm straight to the point with people on what I do or do not want to do... unless it's my boss or law enforcement or something. I'm not going to tell my boss I have better things to do than do his task... XD

    As far as women are concerned, the worst phrase I hear from girls to let someone down easily is "I already have a boyfriend". Why do I hate this phrase? Because I KNOW you don't have a boyfriend! That is why I asked you out! /sigh

    There are some risks in life that you just shouldn't take. Besides, what kind of woman chooses a Rob Schneider movie for sexy background noise?

    The kind of woman I'd never like to meet. That's who.
