My vote is for your last option, the guy who isn't going to win the girl leaving graciously and dignified, with his self esteem intact. Live to fight another day, right? Who knows what the future holds... at least this way he leaves the future possibilities open and maintains his image. Also its kindof rotten for guys to play on a girl who doesn't want to be rude or who doesn't want to hurt his feelings. Be a man already and take a hint. Great FUN read!! Thanks for posting.
