Good Recovery Lines
Just wondering what some of your best recovery lines are.
You know, when you get rejected especially in a friendly
manner, and then have to come up with a line that makes you
sound like you're one smooth dude (or whatever female
version of dude is).
I asked this fine girl at work out once, and she told me she
was going out with someone already (she responded pretty
quickly and with an honest expression, so I doubt she was
lying). Thing was, I saw she felt bad when apologizing about
it, so something unusual to say popped into my head. I kind
of smirked (very natural response at bad news for me) and
in a usual tone just said
"Hey, you don't need to apologize for having
a life."
I don't really know if it was smooth, but it surprised
her, and she needed me to repeat it. Afterwards she started
smiling and seemed a little more relaxed. Maybe she just
found my response too funny to care about apologizing,
but I think I actually did something right for a change,
cause she's still friendly to me at work.
