When a woman asks, "are you asking me out" or "just hanging out?" Oh the ambiguity

[GemmaUK]

The ambiguity level of the conversation is based on experience level, not choice of words. This guy is simply not experienced enough to understand the nuance of this polite rejection. Yes, in all respects, it is ambiguous, to the uninitiated, and no, it's not ambiguous at all to the person giving the response.

 

You could probe further and risk burning bridges, but if you're not interested in "just friends" then your bridges are already burned. Time to move on.

 

 

 

You could well be onto something here.
