Society, rightly or not, rewards those who display initiative, boldness and perserverance. I agree that "You don't know what you're missing" is a trite phrase, but again he's just being a guy - he's doing what society has taught him to do: a Pavlovian response to your turning him down. My thoughts here are that you might be taking his statement too literally. It was just, like you said, a last-ditch effort.
If you want to meet someone who ISN'T going to give you the same old tired lines, I would think you'd have to go outside the normal channels of O/L dating.

You're off base again. Again, I'm not complaining about him saying it, I am addressing the phrase itself in various scenarios.
This happens quite a bit offline as well. Since he's just being a guy, you should know this, si?
I did actually admire that he wrote and tried; I dig a man who isn't afraid to take chances. However, he went back to being a mere mortal after that last comment.
Perhaps I misunderstood, "I would think you'd have to go outside the normal channels of O/L dating."
How would going outside these channels help me find people who don't use these lines? Where would I find them?
