21 proofs that women love a man who cooks.

• I would most definitely enjoy a raindate on the techie dinner thing... I am sorry I had to miss it this time past...
• I guess I missed you... sorry... I'll talk to you soon...
• I am sorry that I missed you last night... ah well...
• As to the unwinding, it sounds nice, but unfortuately, I have to get some math done, and then, I had promised a friend I hadn't seen in a while that I would stop in and say hello... so I had better really stick to that... thanks though.
• Thanks, I wish I could, but I have so much stuff I'm supposed to do, it isn't even funny... thanks though, sometime soon I'd love to...
• It's likely that I could be persuaded, but I have to wait and see what my work load is like as the week progresses...
• I'm sorry, I should wait and see how the week starts at least, would it be a problem to get back to you on Monday about it?
• It has been too long since I have said hi, and I would love to come and help, but unfortunately, I'm afraid that my aunt is in town from CA and I am supposed to spend the evening at home, and tonight, I'm hosting a reading...
• I'm sorry, I can't... I'm again supposed to go and spend time basking in the presence of my aunt... Sorry... I hope it goes well though...
• Thanks a lot for the invitation, I would have loved to go with you, but I am already sort of committed to seeing it with a group of friends... I'm sorry...
• I'm sorry if I have given the wrong impression, so far it has just so happened that, indeed, your invitations have turned out ill-timed for me... it certainly is not that I do not enjoy spending time with you,...
• In any case, it sounds as though these are all reasonable and fun plans, and I'd love to try to pull them off with you, but unfortunately, the next week and also the week following it are going to be more than small nightmares for me...
• I am afraid that I am going to have to bow out... thanks though... I hope that all turns out well... I'll talk to you soon,
• I spoke to my professor, and it looks as though I really can't reschedule, so you had better count me out on this one... next time...
• Nietzsche is safely at rest, but unfortunately, Genetics is not, and must wait another twenty four hours to do so, so... back to the books...
• I would under usual cicumstances, but I just can't... I'm sorry, it's so tempting...
• Alas, no, I am taking off to follow my roommate up to Canada for the week... but indeed, less electronic communications would be good, and with any luck, stress will not become an oppressive feature again until well past the first week back... so, perhaps we could try then...
• Ah, I would love to see it with you... unfortunately, I can't do much of anything tomorrow night.. I have a class until eight and... um.. hate to admit this, but I signed into a club and am expected to be there tomorrow for a "hi there" thingy... but other than that, if you honestly don't mind waiting.. pick a day... (if you prefer to go tomorrow, by all means, please do...)
• Oh, Scott, the gods are conspiring against us... I would love to, but I have class on Thursday evening...
• I'd love to come to a tea, but I think I should probably try and finish up and get some sleep, my classes run straight from nine to eight tomorrow, and then I have a problem session to go to .. . ah well.. it sounds like you are having fun.. enjoy yourself...
• Oh, Scott... You just wont believe how guilty I feel about this... um... I have to meet a guy from crypto to work on the problem set on Sat. night... ulp... I'm sorry... I don't have any idea of how long it will or wont last, but I can't make plans after since it's variable...
