8. I wasn't staring at that blond on the beach.
>> But did you see those ?????

7. I need to shop for my spring wardrobe

6. I'v been really busy lately
>> See, I'm dating five babe-o-licious girls ....

5. "We will have to go out one of these nights"

--- I've really enjoyed stringing you along all these months and maybe
in another lifetime, or when hell freezes over, you might get lucky
enough to be worthy of going out with me. Of course, you will have to
buy your own dinner.

1. "I'm still young."
>> There's a lot of people I want to do before I settle down--and I've already done you.
