You're related to Rex Ryan?!?

I'd rather hear "not interested," frankly.  I don't need a detailed breakdown of the reasons, mind you, but it's simple and straightforward.  Making up a reason isn't letting someone down easy, it's just making things more complicated than necessary.

1. As Frankie and others in this thread have said: RELAX

A very real possibility 3 is that she doesn't know what the hell she wants and any game playing is unintentional.  it's still selfish of her to keep you guessing while she's off being confused, but might not rise to the level of using you.

@avclub-c701a997d9bef627835b036efb4eca63:disqus  Fair enough, but it seemed to me that @avclub-39dd889e0ab668280dbd73c93917e652:disqus  was just riffing on you "getting nasty" in your original post.  To wit: "Dan is now a complete and utter asshole for misquoting Shakespeare - that line was about men and the notorious…

Too bad he didn't grow his playoff beard  until Season Five.

YOU ARE THE SISKO

@avclub-bbb04f2a70775131fa0397bbdb4c03de:disqus But the worker caste can fucking rock.

JMS might have learned his lesson since SPOILERS the Londo prophecy plays out but isn't spelled out.
