cybertronian:giandujakiss:jamesfactscalvin:officialnatasharomanoff:project-blackbird:reservoir-of-blood:Emily Vancamp as Sharon Carter in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”Here’s an example of what we call a “soft no”. Sharon turns down Steve’s offer in a way that’s meant not to insult him but never actually uses the word “no”.Steve clearly gets the message, though, and importantly offers to leave her alone. Sharon’s comment afterwards gives him an opportunity to try again later, but he doesn’t press and respects her rejection of his company even though it’s probably hurt his feelings a bit.Just in case you ever wonder “What would Captain America do?”; there you go.never do something steve rogers wouldn’t do.Unless it’s jumping out of a plane without a parachute, you probably shouldn’t do thatI just have to add - I’ve seen interviews with Marvel people where they say that this scene demonstrates that Cap’s awkward with women and doesn’t know how to ask women out on a date.  And it drives me crazy, because - as the OP says - Steve behaved perfectly here.  It was a very charming, nonthreatening offer, and he accepted her rejection with good grace.  You can’t help but feel that to Hollywood, the fact that she said no means he asked badly - which is exactly how I’d expect Hollywood to think, namely, the idea that men should keep pressing and pushing women until they say yesRead this, then read it again. -- source link
