Imagine you have found a new study partner in your statistics class. One day, your study partner asks you to go on a date. This invitation takes you completely by surprise, and you have no idea what to say. You are not attracted to the person in a romantic way, but at the same time you do not want to hurt his or her feelings. 

a. Create two possible responses to the person, one in which you fail to reject the invitation and another in which you reject the invitation. 

b. How is your failure to reject the invitation different from rejecting or accepting the invitation?
