I admit that one was why I posted this. I just had someone I've known for literally 18 years (I'm 24) ask me to "grab lunch" in a Facebook message. His behavior toward me makes clear he's been nursing a crush for a long time, and it is SO frustrating that he won't just SAY so. I mean, the fact that he doesn't have my number after knowing me for 75% of my life is probably a clue that the feeling isn't mutual, but if I assume he's asking me on a date when he hasn't said so and explain that I'm not into him, his sister (my childhood best friend) will hear about it immediately and be mad at me for assuming her brother meant it "that way." Which, clearly he does. ARGH!

I like "the bees-knees," too, and I like your choice of punctuation for it.
