Give up or try again?
« on: April 27, 2011, 07:39:07 am »
Here we go again... and this time Ronnie needs some help.

I asked this girl out a couple of weeks ago. A friend of mine suggested I'd try, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of it (Not because I don't like her, but because I've never asked anyone out before.). Anyway, I asked her out to see a movie, and she cancelled a day before, saying "it wouldn't work" and that "it wasn't a good time" for her.
Anyway, some time has passed, and I'm thinking of asking her out again. The same friend says I shouldn't bother, she just isn't "into" me.
So my question is, should I give up, or should I give it another try? Is this usually how things work or something?

Er, yeah. That doesn't sound like she's playing hard to get, that sounds like she seriously reconsidered going on a date with you. I'd just chalk that one up to a learning experience.

She already rejected you once. I dont think you should ask her out again.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

I'd give her a while, and then ask again.  Immediate rejection, unless she says she'd like to some other time -> probably a no-go.  Last-minute cancellation... well, I dunno.

On the other hand, your friend saying she isn't into you likely means that there's been some communication behind the scenes from her to him, possibly through a chain, so that you will be put down more gently.  Sorry...

It depend, if it's more than three weeks, then ask again.
But try to do stuff with her first (partying come to mind).

Oh we've done a lot together in past couple of weeks. Spring break is 2.5 - 3 weeks over here, so we saw each other almost every day.

And yeah... I think I'll just let it go this time.
