[Shannon]

Shannon, if you really want to set her rationalization hamster on overdrive, I recommend giving her a soft shoot down for sex. Something like David DeAngelo's "You know, I think you're going to make a really good friend."

You set yourself apart from the beta/delta chumps who drool like St. Bernards whenever she offers to let them buy her a drink, and she'll go nuts trying to get you to fit that mold. And as we know, the more she thinks about you, the more attracted she becomes.

I told her last week she had become one of my best friends, which is true. I told her again that night that we were just friends, which is true. She is stuck on guys who are going to abuse her, and I don't care how good a woman looks, I'm not going to be abusive just to land a woman in bed. I really don't care if we have sex, because I think she has some growing to do before it would be worth more than a romp, and I stand to lose more by romping her once or twice because it could end up getting strange. If she approaches, and I feel like it's worth while, I'll romp her. Otherwise... sorry, we're just friends, remember?

Either way, I have plenty of others to choose from, so who cares?
