10. I think of you as a brother. (You remind me of that inbred banjo playing geek in ´Deliverance´)

9. There´s a slight difference in our ages. (I don´t want to do my dad.)

8. I´m not attracted to you in ´that´ way. (You are the ugliest dork I´ve ever laid eyes on.)

7. My life is too complicated right now. (I don´t want you spending the whole night or else you may hear phone calls from all the other guys I´m seeing.)

6. I´ve got a boyfriend. (I prefer my male cat and a half gallon of Ben and Jerry´s.)

5. I don´t date men where I work. (I wouldn´t date you if you were in the same ´solar system´, much less the same building.)

4. It´s not you, it´s me. (It´s you.)

3. I´m concentrating on my career. (Even something as boring and unfulfilling as my job is better than dating you.)

2. I´m celibate. (I´ve sworn off only the men like you.)

1. Let´s be friends. (I want you to stay around so I can tell you in excruciating detail about all the other men I meet and lay. It´s the male perspective thing.)
