Seu Madruga Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I recently sent a text to a young woman I'm interested in asking her out on an informal date. She replied that she was really busy because she was preparing to go to her country for the Christmas holidays, which was true. She wrote at the end "maybe when I come back". So this week I sent another text asking her out again. She hasn't replied yet. Now I'm not one of those 'insistent' kind of guys who keep asking and asking and never take a hint (I'm sure girls find that creepy). However, and this is the only reason I sent a second text, she did write "maybe when I come back" the first time. Maybe I was naïve to take that seriously, but then again, she didn't have to write it. She could have said she was busy and left it at that. I would have taken the hint. By the way, we work in the same place and talk to each other when we see each other in work. I can't tell if she's interested in me, but she hasn't shown any signs indicating the opposite. In general I find it really difficult to tell if someone likes me. Anyway, my question is, What the heck is going on in her brain? She can answer "yes" or "no", but not to answer at all is plain rude, and she doesn't strike me as rude. Link to post Share on other sites
norajane Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Oh, wow, so if you work in the same place and see each other all the time, why haven't you asked her out on a date in person??? I think I may be unusual, but I absolutely loathe texts, especially for dating matters. Texts are for "please pick up some milk while u r at the store" How unromantic it is to get asked out on a text?! I suggest you start flirting with this woman. For the next couple weeks, pay attention to her - look into her eyes and smile when you're talking to her, compliment her, open her doors for her, make her notice you, charm her, and then ask her on a date - "When can I have the pleasure of taking you out for dinner?" Why would she be in any hurry to go out with someone who treats her professionally and then asks her on a half-hearted, vague, someday date via text? Step up your game, my friend.

Sand&Water Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 RE: Seu Madruga, Mistake #1: You communicate with her via text. Mistake #2: You communicate with her via text. Mistake #3: You communicate with her via text. From here on forward, do face-to-face confrontation. Thus, don't bother anymore. Move on. Sand&Water Link to post Share on other sites
allflowerz Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah, asking a girl out via text is pretty weak... Plus dating someone you work with should be ruled out!! Link to post Share on other sites
