let me just say march, girls tell each other everything. believe me i know! girls are very loyal and unless you and this Caitlin girl are best friends and she has any reason to be loyal to you she definately mentioned your name to Kelly. and you know what, even if you and Caitlin were best friends she would still probably tell Kelly who it was that was asking about her. i just don't want you to be naive! girls talk.

Yes, you did circumvent rejection and save face and I'd agree with the surprised and pleased (as much as an allegedly subtle rejection can be pleasing) reaction but I'd bet that your name came up, even though they would never tell you. It has to do with "newfound..."'s statement that women (and people in general) tend to say things in such a way be nice. I guess I'm saying that you can't take everything at face value (the burden of being an optimist, right Marchant?). However, don't read my statements as "yea, you really got rejected and it is no different from any other outright rejection". Attempting to explain the enigmatic thoughts, emotions, actions, etc. of women is as impossible as understanding them.

Alright, think we're losing the point here. She gave that line to one of her closest friends, and I was never mentioned. Now, you could be right that if the right guy came along, she wouldn't use that line. But, the point is, I was able to circumvent rejection this time. =)

dear sage,
I have long believed in the Antigonostic following but was always put down by women stating how crazy that was, if a girls says something she wouldn't lie, but at the same time, I never known a girl who wanted to blatantly hurt someone's feelings. I think women will say a lot to avoid hurting someone....But don't put me on record as saying this is always bad. Sparing someone's feelings is the nice thing to do. Guys just aren't known for being nice.

The "emphasis on school" line is a nice way of saying they are not interested. I like to call it "Antigonostic" after Sophocles' Antigone (she wanted to die but kept making up "excuses" that she hoped would get her killed), even though you (Marchant) think it is a streach. Anyway, I'd bet that if the right guy came along, she wouldn't give him the "school..." line. Sorry to be so cold but it's not me, it's the women. Why are there so many Antigones??????
