Believe it or not, the pressure is on for men to know what to say to get women to give them the time of day. Many men have lines that they use over and over.

"DEAR HARRIETTE: I'm struggling with my new assistant, who consistently seems distracted and disengaged at work. She rarely responds to emails or messages in a timely manner, and I often have to follow up repeatedly just to get basic updates on projects she's responsible for.
