    I was never fooled by #1..., one time I had a crush on a girl, so I asked her out. She responded with the classic, "I'm not looking to be in a relationship" line. I immediately knew she wasn't interested me, so I moved on.

    Funny story about the 24-48 hour rule. I had my first date with my wife in 1999. I had previously had horrible dating luck. I was shy, I was somewhere between insecure and unconfident, I tried too hard when I should have read the signs. Because I was always concerned that I tried too hard, I would use the 3-day rule where I would wait a couple of days before calling.
    At the end of our first date I told her, "I'll call you in a few days." Her response was, "Fine. I"ll call you tomorrow." 🤣 We've been together since.

      @@Paducahrus Now the 24-hour rule would be considered a joke by most youngsters. 48 hours would be considered a little too early as well. So many people have fallen for the myth that you cannot under any circumstance be seen to be 'needy', so you must actively ignore someone you really like to ensure you can keep seeing them.
      This arrangement made no sense to you and your wife 25 years ago. It makes a lot of sense now: women, and to a lesser extent men, are bombarded with attention from all corners of the web, and this attention allows them to seek company and indeed intimacy from any number of others on demand, especially if they've got a lot going for them.
      The higher up the scale of desirability you go, the worse the effect is. A woman no longer needs to build anything with anyone if she's very attractive: an army of desperate simps plus some more cunning players will keep her occupied for as long as she likes. This leaves men who are interested in real relationships and lasting commitment in an odd place: either you degrade yourself by stooping to the level of others and forming a roster of 'friends with benefits', or you degrade yourself by grovelling.
      Is it any wonder many are choosing to do neither? I don't blame them and I've been dating continously since 1996, during which time I've had eleven long-term relationships and more flings than you can count on ten pairs of hands. The dating scene is worse now than it's ever been, and that's not because I'm getting on in years. You'd think women of my age (nearing 40) would be less insecure and more measured, but most that are either so career driven they have no time for a partner or carrying some extra baggage in the form of a couple of kids from a past marriage. If I don't find 'the one', one day I will simply give up. The risk versus reward ratio is bad enough as it is.

      Yup.
      Look at what women spend most of their time talking about and thinking about.
      Relationships (of all kinds) with men are core to their being.
      Yes, us guys also expend quite a bit of energy here, but usually also have other stuff going on that's really important to us - career, hobbies, and other interests.
      And sure, these days women also have some of that, but it tends to be quite secondary.
      And many have NOTHING else going on.
      Their primary biological function & imperative is reproduction.
      Again, men have this too, but also many other things
      which are NOT secondary, but core to our being.
      TL;DR
      Women are ALL ABOUT getting with men.
      They need that connection more than we do,
      and will prioritise it over just about anything else.

      around social media and even texting. They see too much

      bad case of the 'gimme I wants'.
      Their expectations have been inflated to a point where
      most men have no chance of ever meeting them.
      Yes, they do seem driven to find a guy but what they
      want is unrealistic and impossible for most guys today.

She won’t lead you on because your welfare matters to her. Manipulative users give excuses so they can continue to benefit from the friendship regardless of what effect it has on your welfare.

      If she says she wants to be friends, see how often she wants to do stuff with you as friends. Friendship has obligations too, and if she is willing to fulfil those then there is plenty of good to come from that. If not, she'll soon show it and you can walk away knowing that if she can't be a good friend to you she'd never have been a good partner.

      I'm not trying to offend. But if you're only doing things for her because you think it will get you some 🐱, then you're not actually her friend to begin with. If you're being nice to her only because you like her, then you're not actually a nice guy. I know sometimes things are complicated, but if you like a girl then you should let her know that up front. If she's not interested, then move on. If you want to be friends then that's up to you, as long you understand that you're NEVER going to be anything more than that.

    I want to share one CRAZY experience I had last year! I took this girl on a date, and the date went well; we went on a 2nd date. Then she told me that she “wasn’t ready for a relationship,” and she was “extremely introverted,” and couldn’t see herself getting married for at least 10 years, and she wanted to live in a camper and travel around alone. Well, 3 months later-she got engaged and then got married last month. I thought “Yeah, no matter how far-fetched her story may be-it’s all BS.” 🤣

    I remember two times when i asked a woman for a date and she simply and frankly told me : "Sorry, but my answer in no : I am not interested to go on a date with you." It was hard on my pride at first, but I when the dust went down, I went back to those two women to thank them for being honest with me, rather than telling me a lie, trying not to make me feel bad.
    Of course, being rejected is hard on a guy's pride, but at least, the woman in direct. I definitely prefer to hear that from a woman rather than hearing her telling me a blatant lie to get rid of me, even if she did it just no to hurt my feelings. By nature, women act like that not as much as to get away from you ASAP as it is in their nature not to make you feel bad, even if they have to lie to make it.
    Things are not going to change. The best thing that could happen to a young guy facing such a situation is to understand it right away, or to have a coach who will help him to get over it.

She was extremely shy and wanted things to go slow so I just took it easy on her and she came out to say she couldn’t see us doing anything romantic before even trying to see if there’s chemistry.

Maybe I lost interest or something, but its actually rare to have a friendship these days. I'm glad we still have fun all the time together, it wouldn't be the same if it was a relationship.

    When I was young and stupid, I used to cling onto those little "glimmer of hope" expressions. Going into business for myself helped me see that everything that's not a clear "Yes" is some form of a "No." People who have no intention of buying your product or service will waste as much of your time as you give them, because they just can't handle the confrontational aspect of saying "No" to you. Even if you don't necessarily write those people off completely, you stop expecting anything; you stop spending any emotional capital on them.

      When I was very young I was a management trainee in a huge garden center. And the warehouse manager once said these words: "A happy customer is not necessarily a good customer". I have thought a LOT about that statement, but I actually think it sums it up pretty accurate. A happy customer is the one taking all your time talking and getting all your advices for free, and then goes home "sell" that knowledge for their own profit. Do not let anyone consume your time/life for free. ;)

I backed off and started seeing each other just once per week and after another 3 month she asked me.

    The way I've always seen it: I only want to be with someone who really wants to be with me; and if I really want to be with someone, I make them my priority and expect them to feel the same about me- so excuses and signs of indifference immediately kill it for me. And I also want her to be with someone that she really wants to be with- so if the interest is not mutual, it's just a waste of time and there's no sense trying to force it. Most of the attraction we feel towards others is what we read into them, but when they manifest signs that contradict what we imagine about them, we ought to heed them. One of the most attractive things is mutual attraction, and if that doesn't exist there's no sense wasting either party's time.

    As a disabled man since birth, who has been in two narcissistic and dangerous relationships, I've come to the conclusion after nearly being killed in my first relationship, because my ex, who was 30 years older than me, would weaponize her criminal adult grandson against me to get all of my SSI funds, so she could further support and enable his Machiavellian criminal drug addict lifestyle. So six years ago he split my head open with a large kitchen implement over $15 in gas I used in the car I was making all the payments on. So I left. Her first duty that night wasn't coming to the hospital to see about me, she was at the jail trying to figure out how to raise bail for him.
    My second very short lived relationship was a reconnection with someone I had loved for 32 years from my own hometown, but we couldn't be together back then. So she was in jail, and she began following me on Facebook. Then she befriended me, and for a while we talked and exchanged letters, etc, and she gaslit me for over a year and a half, future faking with me about changing her life, etc. I was stupid and fell for it. When she was released from jail, she came to see me. That day she was wearing another man's 4 carat wedding ring, and made fun of the dress and silver necklace I bought her, and a week later, blocked me from all social media, and the only times I hear from her is when she's rearrested for drugs and prostitution.
    At nearly 60, understanding that I obviously have nothing to offer as a man for ANY woman, I quit dating. I take care of myself now.

These women who have significant culpability in doing such immoral acts like this against men like us, i came to one unifying realization & that is: they don't give a damn about us, they don't have the guts to be straightforward about their intentions when they give us their number, and they give us bs because they enjoy the drama of making someone they don't care for to suffer, and that their bs is beneficial to them because it works for them.

If she likes you she will make time for you, and she will be happy and excited at the thought of going on a date with you. IF shes only ever talking to you in patterns of being at work or late at night, but can never find time to meet up or when you do meet up shes only half engaged, shes NOT into you.

How many times do you think a guy has to hear that line before he comes to the conclusion that it's not in his best interest to be a good friend to anyone he might be interested in getting involved with at some point?

    I "just want to be friends" means she wants your relationship to continue, but only on her terms. She still wants your attention, she still needs your emotional support, she still wants you to continue to do the awesome things you do for her, she still loves it when you go out with her and have fun, she enjoys it when you pay her way, she still loves the validation you bring to her life, and she doesn't want that amazing stuff to stop! So Please please please still be her "friend".
    You made everything so easy for her, who can blame her wanting it to continue?
    It also means that despite the feelings you have for her (she already knew this or at the very least suspected it), she doesn't care for you enough to tell you to stop hurting yourself and go away.
    Have some self respect. Immediately and completely withdraw from her life. Let her feel the vacuum you leave. Let her feel the sting of missing your presence. If she is in any way on the fence she might come around, but she absolutely will NEVER come around if you continue to treat yourself with utter contempt and disrespect.

      You're assigning YOUR perspective to what she wants and feels. That is simply not true. Many women, I'd venture to say MOST, are perfectly and genuinely fine being friends with a man. They want companionship and trust, shared interests, etc, just like they have with female friends. The problem is, there are very, VERY few men who are actually ok with just being friends with a girl. They just don't understand it, and think it's this horrible thing simply because they see it as rejection. Guys need to realize that women do not want or need sexual relationships like men do, they want genuine connection and friendship. That is NOT disrespecting the man or herself. That is NOT a negative thing. You only see it that way because you can't fathom the woman's perspective.

      My message was targeted a man with feelings for a women who DOES NOT have feelings for him. Out of self respect, self preservation even, that relationship can no longer be a friendship (his perspective). Perhaps it could be a friendship for her, but if she understands his feelings, and continues the "friendship" anyway...What does that say about her?
      Our man needs cold hard facts slapped across his face, and he desperately needs a reality check.
      That is no way for any human to live.
      Women can have male friends. On this we agree.
      Men on a mission to become their best selves rarely have close female friends. Men like that look for high quality women who demonstrate reciprocal interest in them. Men living on their purpose understand that friendship is a terrible position from which to create attraction. These men understand that the best relationships develop into amazing friendships that will come to define that relationship, NOT the other way around.
      Men who have female friends are generally uncertain as to how their masculinity should fit with society and would rather hide their intentions than be honest. Doubt me? reach out to any one of your "friends", tell them you are sooo horny, and ask if they want to come over. They will offer some feelers like "are you sure", or "I thought we were friends," but every one will be right over.

All too often people (men AND women) hear what we WANT to hear......we "listen" with our hearts and not with our minds. Most women are (in their own ways) considerate, and don't want to intentionally hurt someone's feelings. They may even "think" they are being kind by not speaking the unvarnished truth, that we men are there for whatever attention the woman may want for the moment......and NOT a real relationship.

    The problem is that men, since childhood, are being told that women don’t always mean what they say. We are told that a woman may say “no”, but she actually may mean “yes”, and men just need to be persistent with them in order to win them. We are taught not to give up right away. So it becomes extremely confusing to men (who themselves are usually pretty direct) what women want, what they say, what they mean, what they imply, what they hint at, etc.

She asked my friends why I wasn't texting her and telling them that she had been interested in me the entire time that she knew me. I asked her on a date and she told me she wasn't available for dating right now, but that she totally admitted leading me to asking her out. So I dropped it. A few weeks later we ran into each other and she was flirting again and hugging me for way too long, so I texted her again, and it was like she couldn't get enough of me and I felt the same way. But then she started talking shit about my friends for no real reason and refused to discuss why she thought it was ok to talk shit about my friends and treated me like I was somehow weak for taking it personally. So I dropped it again. Next thing you freaking know she's flirting with me again and I'm back there trying to suss things out and I think I am realizing she is really messed up mentally, is desperate for male attention, hates that she wants that attention, doesn't know how to form bonds without sexuality, has a victim-based mindset, and projects her insecurities onto others. It is SO painful to navigate my own confusion and desires for relationships with a person that seems to feed off of me like I am an object. Perhaps she is narcissistic, I don't know. I'm starting to realize that who I thought she was is some kind of mask, and not the strong, confident, secure person that she pretends to be. Leading people on is exploiting a person's natural needs for secure attachment, keeps a person from having closure that could lead to a platonic friendship, leads to resentment, and pushes them away. There is nothing healthy about "letting them down easy" over months and months. It feels more like a long con. If you care about the person set them free immediately so that they can move on.

      Not always true. It all depends on how strong your friendship is, how much you respect and really like the other person for what they bring to the friendship. I've been told by both male and female friends that they'd like to be more, said thx but no... and it hasn't changed how I feel about them one bit. If you really are good friends, mature human beings, it's something you both will laugh about, in the future.

      @mrms Hi mrms! Actually i do know what it's like for the person who confesses, bc I'm empathic enough to able to put myself in their shoes. Confessing you'd like to be more than friends puts you in a very vulnerable, precarious position.
      That's why when friends have asked to be more than, and I didn't want to be, I made sure to be as kind as possible in turning their offer down. I let them know I was extremely flattered and assured them that it only strengthened the love I felt for them. Why? Bc that's how you treat friends. With compassion love and understanding.
      I'm not saying everyone is like me. There are a lot of mixed up, cruel people in this world. I'm just telling you how I roll.

      honestly if you get friend zoned, best to just walk away. if you are really friends evnetually you may low back into a more platonic thing, but if one of you has feelings you CANT stay in that dynamic for the very reason you just said, it hurts and breeds frustration and resentment. Plus always ask yourself, do i really wanna be just friends with them, or would i only be satisfied with somethign romantic.

    I haven't had success with women, but in my failures I've learned a lot, and the "I've been busy" line is for sure exactly what you said it is. Shes bored and decides to respond. I've met all sorts of people with extremely busy fast paced jobs, to more relaxed desk jobs etc, and no matter how overly busy someone is, if they want you to be part of their life, they'll make time for you. Even if it's just 5 minutes in a day to give you a phone call to tell you how busy and stressed they are, or a text at night saying "sorry was super busy today but wanted to tell you xxxxx before I went to bed".
    It's something that even though I *know* this is true I still catch myself falling victim to women that are "too busy" so it's for sure a work in progress.

  • @Hechete

    This is all absolutely accurate. Just keep in mind guys, some women are not saying these things purely out of kindness. They're saying them because once you're pissed off, she's not sure how violent, vengeful, or nasty you might become. I told a guy I wasn't interested (I think I used the friendship one) and he started spouting off calling me every nasty name in the book. He didn't get violent, but he knew where I worked and it could've gotten ugly.

    Women should always say exactly what they mean because we guys will cling to the smallest glimmer of hope. I've been doing this myself and I've heard some of these exact things, but that's about to change. Sadly, some women will tell a guy these things but when she see him with someone else that's when she changes her mind. This is why it's so hard to date nowadays.

    A year late but funny enough, this one girl I did like saw me in a mutual group and asked me why I didn’t say anything to her, and I told her “you seemed busy talking to others.” She was so annoyed but what’s funny is she could’ve walked over to me and said something but she didn’t. She expected me to do so. And getting hit with the “I’m not looking for a relationship right now” is spot on. And the worst part about that like is how easily it’s said.

    Keep in mind also that if a girl was really hurt she may intentionally push you away by saying she doesn't want a relationship. Watch for signs, if they say it and cut you off or start talking less - sure. But if she gives you a lot of attention despite saying that - stick around, she's just hurt. One day I pushed a guy away saying I didn't want a relationship, turns out I was just scared of commitment following a nasty breakup that happened a while back. The guy showed me very clearly that despite this he wants to stay for me and it gave me a sense of trust in him. We're now engaged.

    A great thumb rule is that action speaks louder than words.
    A woman may say she finds you interesting, but at the same time she’s got a mio excuses why she can’t go on a date.
    Time to move on. She may contact you to hear what you are up to. But she only does that because she was bored at the time. She doesn’t really care. Just move on.
    We live in an age where sadly most people can’t be honest and just SAY IT.

    I've heard many of these excuses before and Courtney is correct, if a girl or guy is interested in you and doesn't want to play games then they will be upfront about their interest if they are confident enough, make time however they can(move mountains to be with you), and stick around if things end up working out. The old saying is still very true, "Watch what they do, not what they say".

  • @georgesaunders3532

    Some people do actually have legit reasons for saying these things, like they aren't actually ready. I was with someone who's previous relationship was very abusive, and with getting serious with me she found it really difficult not to fear getting deep into things and pulled away. We even went no contact at one point which I accepted and she reached out and wanted to Tey again as she really wanted it, but she just wasn't past the trauma and needed to heal without the pressure of a relationship that was triggering her. So it's not always a case that when she says she's not ready that she just doesnt like you, it's because sometimes circumstances make it make painful to fall into the love and relationship than it does to move away from it altogether. I accepted it because that's just where she is in life, and I care about her enough not to push her an carry on a relationship that has inevitable triggers.
