[@aaronburdon221]

Instead of "Eh, i'm not interested I want to leave", I would recommend, "I don't see a future for us, would you like to continue to talk or would you like to leave?" That way the person can choose whether or not to share a meal with you with no expectation of further time spent together or just go home immediately. I'm going to guess 99% of the time they're going to leave immediately, and the 1% of the time, you spent an hour and a half of your time talking to someone new. Also, if you do this on a dinner date, you better be expecting to go dutch afterwards.

In my twenties, I used to feel a blow to my ego whenever I faced rejection, often delving into deep introspection and even shedding tears in the process. With the passage of time and gained experience, I've come to realize that as men, rejection is an inevitable part of life. While it's never a pleasant experience, the key is to embrace it as a natural occurrence. No one enjoys being rejected, but instead of dwelling on the "whys," it's best to swiftly move forward. Over time, you'll grow accustomed to it, and eventually, it won't even faze you anymore.

Good advice !,I had a girl once who kept saying she was busy and didn’t respond to messages often, her friends told me she was shy and to not give up on her. I didn’t want to seem like the ass who was rushing her into anything so I gently persisted over weeks thinking she was worth my time and worth the work. When we finally met for a third date she was mildly insulting to me, and I realised not only did she not like me, she had formed her own idea of who I was without getting to know me at all. the shyness hid a judgmental and arrogant character. While a part of me wanted to correct the wrong assumptions I realised Instantly I would be better off putting my time into finding a better person. Feeling happier than I had in a while I nicely excused myself from the date early (no3 of this list I believe). I learned a valuable lesson, don’t waste time and effort on something that doesn’t feel good. Spend it finding something that does.

This video popped up under my suggestions, so I figured I'd check it out. After a 25+ year relationship/marriage, I find myself back in the dating pool. And it could use some chlorine. I was introduced by the mom of one of my kid's friends to one of her friends. We set up a date. She had to cancel (sign #5). When I tried to reschedule, she was too busy that week (#1), but was available the next week. Date went fine, but she had to cut it short (#3). She didn't decline a 2nd date (#4) and it went well. I tried to set up a 3rd date. She was non-committal (maybe #4?) because she was busy (back to #1). I had to go out of town, but offered to take her out for 2 specific events when I got back. She never responded back (#2). So, I hit on all 5 signs. I had to laugh my way through this video. I don't know that she wasn't interested in me, but I definitely feel like she wasn't ready to date at that point in time. I would like to add a 6th sign: When the friend that introduced the two of you then tells you she wants to introduce you to ANOTHER friend (without you saying anything to her about how it's going with the first one)...that's probably a sign that the first one isn't going to work out.

Even though she was reserved the date went well and it was she who suggested we go on a second date but then she never returned my call several days later.

It was a cozy and chill coffee shop, I was a little late to arrive and when I was at the door, through the glass I could see her sitting in there but her expression was neutral but when I came she immediately smiled to greet me and I could see her face a little lift up.

Happy Sunday, Courtney ❤! A personal story that I went through one time was a woman I met a few years ago through a mutual friend of ours and she was cool and we were talking, we exchanged numbers and we were talking and getting to know each other. Each time I set up a time to meet up with her, she cancelled each time. The first time, she rescheduled it so I let it slide. Second time she did it, she cancelled but didn't rescheduled so I let it go. Third time she initiates it and I agreed with her to meet up with her but then she cancelled on me. By that point, I already knew that she was a flake in my perspective I remember a few weeks later, she later admitted to me via text message saying "I'm a flake, I know" and I responded with "I know" She later apologized again through text message for flaking on me and asked me if her and I can be friends again, and I left her on read.

I once met this awesome girl online that I talked to for two months. She was a bit flaky but to no fault of her own. Things would come up like she was sick, had an appointment etc. But the second time we met in person she said, "I'm still feeling a bit sick but I didn't want to bail on you again." Sometimes, there is genuine interest but things just get in the way. That said, we lost touch because life got a bit too busy for her and she discovered a bit late she wasn't ready to date, but she was upfront and honest with me about that. No ghosting.

I agree that no response is a response (something I had a hard time learning in the past) but giving strong signals of interest and then ghosting makes it very difficult to interpret that response.

If she doesn't want to be anywhere near you, that's her problem. Bonus tip: When talking to ANYONE you have never met before, talk to them as if you are already friends. Relaxed and casual.

Imo it's always a bad idea to give a girl access to any of your social media profiles before you've met them and I still think it shouldn't happen until you've reached a 3rd date and you're about to take things to the next level. It feels like it can only harm you. They could find pics they don't like or make snap judgements (such as thinking you're a player if you have recent pics with a girl that happens to be a friend), or they just find out too much about you and lose interest due to lack of mystery, which I've found is important when courting someone. The less you reveal up front, the more intrigued they are and the more excited they will be for a date. Also, I don't like trying to find women I'm courting on social media because I don't want to start idolizing them. It can be easy to scroll through their pics and you start finding your favorites and painting an idealized picture of them and your potential relationship in your head that isn't healthy and makes it much harder if things don't work out. Also, it can mess with your head if you see posts from others guys on their wall, which could make you jealous or be too assertive thinking you've got competition you've got to overcome immediately...

She even disappears to another time zone in the country and doesn't tell me she'll be gone for a bit. I had a ticket for both of us to a sporting event going on. I just gave it to a friend. She doesn't seem to be as affectionate as I am. I spoil her so much that I over did it. For her birthday I bought her a duffle bag and stuffed it with random stuff like toiletries, a new hoodie (Her favorite team) and all sorts of things that I know she'll love. If you count and add with Christmas it went over to $600 of random stuff. For both birthdays and 2 Xmas' Then like 8-10 months later she gave my Christmas present to me and when I opened it it was the same hoodie and shirt from that pancake thing I was at but I didn't recognize it at the time since my mind was thinking of other stuff. And she wouldn't spend Valentines day with me. The next day I fell apart and lost it, she knows how I feel about her but doesn't want the same.

Money makes the difference. Courtney knows it and we all know it. Look at the rock on her finger. They wait for the winners. Only your mom loves you, as a man. Women love money. THE END!!!!

[@stevetuckey]

Salty. Dude I slayed when I was a broke musician. The energy in your comment is probably the reason you aren't finding love

[@wft2]

You got it right!! That's like a 4 carat rock on her finger

[@heythere6983]

@stevetuckey Where you finding girls at live shows? I as a guitarist attracted girls easily just bc I played guitar, not because they had any real appreciation of me as a person

[@RM-mh6jc]

Ignore the ladies you like and hit on her friends. Works like a charm

[@bobgrob4]

the person that cares the least about a relationship has the most power

[@martyfrank2905]

Great insights that I can verify as an old guy. In my long life, no woman who was ever interested in me, was ever "too busy." In fact, many would border on too intrusive, wanting to contact me/see me constantly. The flaking is also a bad sign, as is the ghosting. I've noticed that when I was young, in the pre-electronics days, women typically didn't do this stuff. I think they were more skilled in interacting with men, more diplomatic. Listen to Courtney, guys, I know it's tough to face rejection but best to move on. Once you find a girl interested in you, you'll forget the ones who weren't.

[@vuldus2471]

Happened to me one time. Eventually the person said they weren't ready to date anyone. Then they would invite me out just to ghost me. Found out they were in a long distance relationship with their old boyfriend.

That just shows she’s pure trash; gutless too.

Don’t worry she’s his side piece. She cries herself to sleep because he won’t commit to her & it ends likes this…👵🏻🍷🐈🐈‍⬛

[@larza966]

If she is not interested in you she will: - Not tell you she is not interested. - See/date others guys. - Talk to others how annoying you are. - Crave your attention. - Tell others you don't get her signals that she don't want you even if she never said anything like that. - Be afraid to hurt your feelings by telling you the truth that she don't want you. - When you try to ignore her, she will try to talk to you and keep up the charade.

[@Colton-wz5sh]

Tell* others. Keep* up

[@DonnyDougherty]

It's rude and disgusting that she tells others people about the private conservation we had. I try to respect women and men, but there are things that are so off limits and not okay and there is no letting it slide.

4:20 I recently had an issue with this and ghosting only because I was being breadcrumbed, her apologizing about not getting back to me (says she was busy etc), and I took it at face value (in horrible at sign reading). Lesson learned

[@Chet_24]

I think most of us go through that. Maybe it's part of a "right of passage." All it did to me, though, was get me to think I was always being lied to.

[@DarkMidgit177]

Thank you for this, it’s nice to have a woman’s advice to help men out with this. Biggest takeaway guys is do not chase, if they are genuinely interested then they will want to try and connect with you otherwise just let them go.

[@blitzcraig1001]

If a woman isn't interested in a second date be gracious and grateful for her honesty. Saving you time and money, and surely plenty of aggravation with games is a nice thing to do.

[@davidplummer2473]

So much for the old "he chases her til she catches him" tradition. I used to hear this a lot in the old days that you weren't supposed to give up, that women expected you to keep trying and you weren't supposed to take no for an answer, that this was some sort of turn-on for them because it showed you you had confidence and guts. On the other hand my own experience was always that it just got them angry with me so maybe it was a myth. And with "me-too/call-the-cops" feminism running rampant own, just never mind...

[@williamt1579]

If she doesn’t play with her hair at least once, then she’s not interested.

Even more so if it is with the pubic hair ;-)

[@leedavis8969]

I agree, resist the urge to say what you would really like to say sometimes. Not going low is a sign of class and classy is always a good look.

[@cheekymonkeygirl3378]

I concur. Any time I showed interest in my crushes, they became arrogant or ignored me but when you don't show interest, they chase you and we don't like the chase to stop even though we want to show our feelings. However, I guess withholding our emotions and not showing interest is the best way. Men like a challenge. 😩😩

[@Potato_Quality7]

Just be honest and direct with how you feel, and don't hesitate to cut ties.

[@meddyven]

Dating is becoming a minefield. I went on 5 dates, with a woman I met online. She liked that I planned all the dates, was always smiling, and we had a good time. Then after the 5th date, she cancelled the next one, because her college aged daughter, was having bullying issues with her room mates. So she moved her back home. Then she says, she needed time to spend with her, to get her back on track. I gave her some time, then a month later, I attempted to set up another date, and she said she was going to see the guy who dumped her, before me, again. So, this is what we get. Doing all the right things, Courtney, many times, sends us back to square one. Then we recoil for awhile, because we deserve better, but don't want another repeat performance.

[@bobmilin]

The worst feeling in the world is when a woman breaks up with you and you now are alone depressed and going out and getting rejected and knowing she is getting attention from many guys because she is now available.

[@tedlogan4867]

When you as a man account for health (obesity), mental health (prescriptions/body mutilations, STI'S/Herpes), addictive behavior, reputation, financial discipline, social media accounts, good habits, good family, you have a 4 in 1000 chance within the age range of 18-35 of finding a woman who meets this basic adult and reasonable metrics. Good luck out there. It isn't hopeless, but there is far less hope than most women comprehend. No response is a response. Amen. Find a purpose that does not involve chasing women. Build your best self, let in and only allow women who make YOUR life better, who build YOU, who are a compliment, not a competitor. Stay on your purpose.

[@boxer6796]

I’m not interested in playing games. Just be yourself. If she’s not interested, I’m out. Simple as that. Sometimes, they show interest after that. Me? Nah!

[@danielallan8061]

I'd rather a woman just be direct if they aren't interested when on a date. It gives me closure and feedback.

[@emanuelespinoza9325]

Unfortunately, women are still under the impression that non-verbal communication works for them.

A vvoman have absolutely NO INCENTIVES to be direct : The more men she keep on the hook, the more backup plans she have. Even the King of s!mps will move on if he knows for sure nothing is going to happen.
