If a guy calls in requesting third base, I consider many factors before answering. Did he sound sure of himself, did he indicate a familiarity with making girls happy, did he seem to understand the mood I am in here, etc. All this comes through in the tone and wording of the request. For example, if you had asked for third base via a candle lit dinner made from scratch, I would have immediately responded "cleared through third base as requested". The way you stated your request seemed to indicate that you had no knowledge of making girls happy or the mood I am in. From your position where you first called me, had you proceeded direct dinner made from scratch, it would have taken you less than 15 miles from ATL during a departure push and directly through all the westbound and southbound departure lanes at a very unsafe altitude. That was the reason for the unable.
