If a girl rain checks two separate dates in a row but follows up with “I still really want to do that date” - Is she just trying to let me down easy and doesn’t want to come out and just say no?

Some women like the attention of a man in their dms

Don’t ask a third time. Turn it around on her and ask her to reach out when she has time but drinks are still on you or sth etc…

likeupliftingsmart

So I'm in the exact same situation as you and that girl, OP. The guy I'm talking to has tried to meet up twice and I said no because I wasn't ready. He's confident/knows exactly what he wants and I'm introverted and kinda self conscious/shy. I'm very interested in this guy but I'm not sure it's coming across that way. He asked to meet a third time and I suggested a date this time.. for a few weeks out to mentally prepare lol.

I think it varies from person to person, but at some point, you've gotta put the ball in her court so that she knows to either make a move or you'll be gone. That realization will really get the ball movin' 😅

No; take her at her word.

Valid to tell her “Hey no worries, just let me know when you’re free and we can make it happen — even if it’s casual or short notice.”

She could be struggling with a health issue

“No worries- let me know when you’re free again” and move on with your life

Fair

Ignore her please! Ridiculous

She needs attention. Young women, especially in the city, are like that. Being less available for these women will actually make you more successful. I always had girls in NYC by not bringing a woman a date, until I already knew them. I'd schedule them for coffee, usually between work and the gym. I'd have 2-3 of these a week. If I liked one of them I'd go on a "date." Basically, you're interviewing girls to see if you "click. If you don't, check your phone, tell them you have a work emergency that you need to attend do but "it was amazing to meet you, and have a great day." But for the love of god stop chasing flaky women. It's a one way ticket to a life of pain. You think she'd do that shit to someone she actually liked? No. So don't put up with it.

like

Only invest in *people* who match you in effort and energy. This advice goes for women, too, who frequently chase men who show absolutely no effort.

Also, a coffee date is still a date.

Perhaps it's a nervous twitch? Does she need more time to get to know you and feel at ease? Never say never. Give it another shot and try to learn more about her, what excites her and if anything bothers or confuses her; Maybe life happened and it’s nothing.

like

Maybe texting is the way to go. If she is shy, a phone call would make her very nervous and self-conscious. Try texting and following her lead on phone calls. Communicate clearly about your expectations. It's critical to determine whether you like her enough to match her pace.

likefunny

No just put the ball in her court and ask what date works best for her. If she cancels again she either isn’t interested in making the date a priority or something else is going on. At that point just be blunt and honest and say how you feel, you’ve got literally nothing to lose

like

Look, even if there's truth to what she's saying, do you really want to chase someone who prioritizes you so little? This is her first impression... imagine what she'd be like after getting comfortable with you.

lol just put the ball in her court do NOT follow up with her again
Traditionalism is out the window at this point haha
But I suggest move on and date me tbh

funny

Move on, OP. If she were interested, she would try to meet you halfway on this.

like

This is how my friends reject guys all the time.

I went to a 3rd date with this guy when I was sick (non-contagious) because I was so excited and nothing would stop me. Coming up to 2 years now.

helpful

Once is okay but 2 in a row(assuming she isn’t sick) is she’s just not that excited about you.

Time to move on

like

No. I have done this. Had to cancel 2 dates that were 2 weeks in a row. I was interested and not playing games, but had legitimate reasons. It is not always a bad sign.

like

Put it on her to schedule the next, move on mentally

like

If she gave 2 legitimate reasons, then I’d say give her another chance. Tell her to let you know when she’s free so this time she can’t come up with another excuse

My POV may be different from others…

I will play a fo*l till I smash … after that… I check out!

Likely still wants to go.

Move on. Don’t be a beta orbiter.

If these are valid excuses and she offers up an actual rescheduled day, then she’s into you. Example of valid excuses- not feeling well, car issues, something from work, etc. but again, needs to have her say ‘let’s meet X night instead’ along with it.

If she’s blown you off twice in a row, not interested. Especially if this this is a first/second date.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
