I always say NO but give different excuses. I've tried to come up with the perfect response but never have. Some of you smart guys out there should think up the PERFECT response and share with the rest of us. The perfect response would be one that lets them know the money is not coming and not only do they believe the excuse but they actually feel sorry you.
I think just them knowing it is not coming is good enough. Do you really care if they are pissed that you are not sending? Because a guy who is worried that his favorite hooker might get mad because he did not send her money for something she did not earn is beyond me. If she gets pissed, then like MG's signature says........"NEXT"
Now, my disclaimer....... I am not picking on anyone, nor am I saying don't send her a gift if you want. Because plenty of men send gifts to female friends. BUT, this is not a reason to send something ridiculous to a girl to impress her. Trust me you are not impressing her...... All you are doing is making her Tico boyfriend happy that he did not have to buy it or have to give her $$$ for it....... As for the sensitive guys who are gonna take this wrong all I can say is......Sorry if you don't get it........Not picking at you at all.
