If there’s one thing we should have learned about dating in New York, it’s that pressure never leads to results. If someone’s not that into you, making demands won’t change that.

Yahoo!, despite being the romantic equivalent of a 39 year-old woman with a big ass and two cats, is just not that into Microsoft’s bid. But Microsoft, the 45 year-old longtime bachelor with a dying mother whose last wish is to have grandchild, thinks, "Whatever, let’s do this thing."

At an investor meeting Microsoft CFO Chris Liddell said, "We think it's in our interest, in Yahoo!'s interest to resolve their future as quickly as possible.”

Seriously, Microsoft. Watch some Sex and the City. Ultimatums never work.
