Asked a girl out, she said she was busy but that we could do a date in a few weeks. The few weeks have now passed, is it worth pursuing by asking her again or is it this answer just translated to "No, I would never go on a date with you"
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Asked girl out, she said she was busy but...

- Start date
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

As much as I believe it was a form of rejection, it doesnt take much work for you to send her a text or give her a quick call.
If she refuse again with no counteroffer, you got your second strike and you can move on with no further tought about her.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Why was she busy? If it was a legit excuse, maybe. If not, likely just a way to keep you as a backup in case the guy she is seeing now doesn't work out/committ.

Once she said that, I would of moved on and deleted her number. A few weeks? thats way too long for a girl who wants to see you. At most a girl who is legit busy would postpone a week IMO.sbgm said:

She's trying to make you wait for weeks, while she's chasing down that Mississippi State football player. :yes:
A woman who wants to see you will rearrange earth's orbit to make that happen. Would she make Brad Pitt wait a few weeks? Hell no.
Why give her a second chance? That only validates her ego. Drop her sorry ass, she did that to you! Judge nismo's ruling.
Case closed.

Haha so true. Two schools of thought here:
1) next. Don't pander and get rejected
2) keep trying don't let your ego get in the way, who cares what she thinks
I have found that I next girls a little too quickly. This one girl I dropped over the summer I kind of regret now.
I'm willing to take more chances and swallow my pride because if I dont I end up lonely and bored

Chick: We can go out in a few weeks, maybe.
You: Hmmm...ok..I'll call you next year just to be safe!
Dude, that's a 101% rejection. I'd keep it friendly and not bother. If she brings it up, pounce on it, otherwise you'll just become her orbiter waiting for her to decide when to go out. Giving up your power and options before the first date is a horrendous move.
