Method of Madness:
Emily did say she doesn't have time for dates right now. No indication she wouldn't be interested when she has the time.
themacnut:
Only Jeph knows when that will be. Could be months or years down the line, by which time Emily may well have forgotten about Clinton, or some other guy may swoop in for whom she may be willing to make the time. In any case, Clinton is wise not to wait.
Method of Madness:
Oh, I'm not saying Clinton should wait, but I hardly think this is Emily not being interested.
thedevilissix:
Welp! Poor Clinton. That situation is a swift sharp gut punch and is every bit as not at all fun.
From seeing Emily's previous form though, I think she's probably a bit too oblivious to construct any sort of "busy" excuse whih is actually intended to reject. I think there's a fair chance she genuinely means what she says.

--- Quote from: themacnut on 26 Apr 2016, 08:36 ---Clinton needs to start asking out other women soon as he can, and forget about the one who rejected him. Easier said than done I know, but the man who doesn't get proactive in the dating arena is doomed to end up alone, since the vast majority of women still don't ask men out.
Plus, a man like Clinton, with his looks and lack of social skills, definitely can't afford to wait around to be asked out; it is highly unlikely to happen. He also needs to start building up a thick skin and high tolerance for rejection, since he's likely to get it a lot.
--- End quote ---
It's sound practical advice I agree for Clinton to put himself out there (in it to win it and all that) but I would hope that such a thing wouldn't turn into a means for Clinton or anyone else for that matter to beat themselves up if things don't happen right away in spite of doing everything possible.
In Nina Simone's words, "It Be's That Way Sometimes" - sometimes at least temporarily, everyone really is just taken. But it is temporary!
In events like that, I think it's a very healthy and helpful idea for the person to take care of themselves first and feed their self-esteem with work they love, exercise, friends, family....I think potential significant others gravitate towards that kind of happiness and self-assurance more than might be assumed. And honestly, I don't think anyone should ever feel like time is running out. Ever. Or that they risk being alone forever. I would hope no one should ever have to feel like that.
