No. The word, no, is the ultimate word of defeat. No is never good. Unless you ask someone if they are going to kill you and they say no, but that's a different story.
Depending on your personality, when a guy likes a girl and wants to ask her out and do it right, it takes between ten minutes to two hours to get up the courage to ask her out, but it takes her two seconds and one word to crush it all.
Sometimes I wished instead of someone seeing your exterior, they would see your interior. Your personality. Basically showing someone your profile. Think of how much easier life would be. You would know if someone was sincere, a jerk, a loser, a liar, or even really extreme like a Satan worshiper or a murderer. Then if you looked at the profile then you would have a better perspective of what you are getting into or what you are avoiding.
Going back to the word of defeat. This is why it is harder for guys than it is for girls. Guys have to do the asking out and girls, all you have to do is say yes or no. I am not a girl, so I don't know what you think when you say yes or no, but when you say no, do you feel sorry about it? Or are you flattered? Or are you flattered, but you don't care at all?
See I don't know what people think, if a girl were to ask me out and I wasn't interested. I'd be flattered and I'd feel sorry about it, because I know how difficult it is to ask someone out.
Please leave your thoughts, comments, and questions. I am very interested in what you all think of these situations.
