We have a thread for the best and worst pickup line, how about a thread for rejections? Here is one I heard in a movie: "I already have an arsehole in my panties. I don't need you".;D

"I'm sorry, I like you very much, but I'm not in love with you."

"I'll go and spend my time on other things now."

"I met someone else, but you're very nice and I'm sure you'll easily find someone else too."

"I don't think we'd make a good couple."

I've had all of those at one time or other. I didn't take the second one particularly well at that time, all of the others were fine (I agreed with #4 at the time but didn't have the guts to say it myself).

RBA.

My girlfriend always tells me we could never get married because our names don't match

Is that an extra belly button? Oh, it's your dick!

I only date black guys.

This one is good or bad depending on your particular skin color...

I'm not gay. But I'll learn.

I'll bet Groucho Marx excelled in this category.

EDIT: read that with or without quotation marks.

Since all the above posts seem to be rejection lines towards guys I got one YOU can tell women:

Sorry, but I already got someone who leeches my money.

I once tried getting a girl to break up with me by repeatedly telling her I wanted to watch Star Trek whenever she asked me if I wanted to do anything. It didn't work though, as she kept offering to watch it with me even though she didn't like the show, so I had to dump her in the end anyway.

Ah, you know what your mistake was? Start Trek ain't crazy enough! .
What you needed to do was tell her you wanted to watch televangelists. Then get really into it. On your knees shouting "YES BROTHAA!! PREACH THA' HOLY FATHA'S WORD! TELL THA SINNAS!"....

Done the trick for me nicely .

We didn't have any on TV here 17 years ago. There was Praise Be for half an hour a week, but it was pretty tame.

That's cruel. If you want to break up, break up. Otherwise you end up hurting her more when she tries to accommodate you. "But I did every crazy thing you liked and wanted to do! Men are such pigs!"
Sure, it's easier on you to maneuver the other into breaking up than to look them in the eye and say "sorry honey, but this is it.", but as I said, it's cruel.

Yeah, I know. I can break up with people now, but back then, just the thought of trying to tell her how I felt made me sick (literally). The only reason we were actually going out in the first place was because when she asked me out, I wasn't able to say no. It was a pretty sad relationship.

That just makes the stunt all the more effective .

True, but nobody would ever believe me if I said I was awake on a Sunday morning.

But their stark evidence against your claims would mean nothing since you're a crazy zealoty Cristian remember? Disregardling logic is your right now!

It's time for the obligatory Simpson's quote:

"Welcome to Dumpsville, baby. Population: you."

Look behind you, a three-headed monkey!

alternatively:
How appropriate you fight like a cow.

Only if they aren't fans of Guybrush Threepwood...

"That man smells of vanilla!"

Is anyone else heartened by the Allegro.cc community's implied greater familiarity with chat-up lines that rejection lines?

It's not a greater familiarity that makes the pick-up lines thread longer, it's just that remembering the rejection lines is so painful.

Okay by me! Heh heh heh...

I think you're reading the results incorrectly. The only reason there's more talk about pickup lines rather than rejection lines is that 95% of all rejection lines are, at their core, 'let's just be friends' with various syntactic tricks applied to them.

I have an unfairly large amount of experience with being on the receiving end and know of what I speak.

Bitter? Whatever gave you that impression? Surely you jest!

I reject this whole thread.

You'll come crawling back like the 3yrold you are.

"Sorry, I don't date members of Allegro.cc!"

"Sorry, I found out you're from the internet"

I saw it in a Simpsons episode at some point.

I'm not looking for a relationship right now.. but if you wanna come by my place later on, you're welcome to.

^^ if she happens to show up later.. consider it a bonus!

There's always the classic "I'm not ready for a relationship right now" (translation: "I'm not ready for a relationship with you. Ever.")

"I love you. Like a brother."
"I think I'd rather have you as a friend to be honest."
"Sorry, the dog ate the piece of paper with your number on it!" (Real-life example!)

Diana, I reckon yours could be triggered by excessive attention and pressure and that kind of thing. The girl might believe that pressure always comes with relationships, and mistakenly conclude that she doesn't want a relationship at all. Of course it could also just be an excuse - depends on the situation, and how much she cares about his feelings
