Tell them that you're depressed.
Ask if you can talk about it.
Talk for hours and hours.
Afterward say that that was nice, but you still feel depressed.
Can we talk again?
Those 3 hours invested will pay huge dividends.

Agree with Flip and BGN.
When "courting" my wife ran away just fast enough that I could catch her.
It's stupid.
It is more about the game than an attempt at open disclosure and genuine compatibility.

THE I. B. S. A. AND THE WAR
The International Bible Students are
not against the war. They recognize
and have long taught that the Bible,
three thousand years ago, foretold the
present great war, and that God's hand
would be in it. When in 1915 President
Wilson asked the ministers to
pray for peace, Pastor Russell, in an
address in the New York City Temple,
said:
"Our honorable President with
praiseworthy intent has requested
all Christians to make this a day of
prayer for peace in Europe. I have
been asked to sermonize accordingly.
However, I cannot concur with
our worthy President in this matter.
Much as I appreciate peace—
and I have all my life labored to be
a peacemaker—I cannot pray the
Almighty to change his plans to
conform to those of our honored
President. For 2,500 years God,
through the Bible Prophets, has
been telling his people about this
great war and concerning the more
terrible Armageddon which will
follow it; and can we expect him to
reverse the program at our behest?"
Pastor Russell recognized that this
war, foretold in the Bible by Jehovah,
will be overruled by him and result in
good to mankind. The Bible says,
"There shall be a time of trouble such
as was not since there was a nation,
even to that same time." (Daniel 12:1;
Matthew 24:21) If it is disloyal to call
attention to the meaning of this great
trouble upon the earth, then it is disloyal
to repeat the Lord's prayer. He
taught all his followers to pray, "Thy
Kingdom come; thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven." That Kingdom
could not come until after this
world travail.
Furthermore, the Lord said: “Wait
ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the
day that I rise up to the prey; for my
determination is to gather the nations,
that I may assemble the kingdoms, to
pour upon them mine indignation, even
all my fierce anger: for all the
earth shall be devoured with the fire
of my jealousy [not literal fire]. For
then will I turn to the people a pure
message, that they may all call upon
the name of the Lord, to serve him with
one consent." (Zephaniah 3:8, 9) Thus
Jehovah points out that after the trouble,
there will be given the people a
pure message and a great blessing shall
come to the people. -

if we started at 9 AM and finished at 5 PM, subtract one hour for lunch and count 7 hours
When we pioneered in a remote area with scattered towns, we either phoned an RV or knocked on the door of a house with lights on at 8:00 am, and then drove the 1 hour to the territory, and then the reverse on the way back, thus with a "clean conscience" being able to count the 2 hours of driving time.
The technical BS of it all.
