2 questions for the guys

[a gal]

1) If you ask a girl out for a date, and she is evasive (doesn't clearly say yes or no), would you take that as a no?

2) If you ask a girl out, and she says "I am real busy and can meet only a month from now", would you think she is not interested?

[depends]

  It depends how hot she is and how hot you are for her. If she sends encouraging signals but is evasive, I would try her again later but certainly not put my life on hold waiting for her. If she had very negative body language, I'd leave it at that. If she said she had no free time for a month, I'd likely drop it entirely or hit her up again in a couple months only if I was desperate.

[Old Mike]

1) no.
2) yes

[Turnip]

1. yes
2. yes

So many women, never enough time.  Would just move in to the next one

OP, why are you asking these questions?  Are you guilty of such behaviour as presented in the 2 questions?.  I hope you're not influenced by the stereotypes featured in the movie, "The Ugly Truth".

Forget game playing and show more depth and honesty. 

[thetruth]

(i) Not really, will check again by asking more question, if the answer is still evasive then yes would not bother

(ii) Yes, unless she has a reason and goes to length to explain it, like travelling tomorrow and coming back only in a month.  But otherwise, no guy would bother more.

2) If you ask a girl out, and she says "I am real busy and can meet only a month from now", would you think she is not interested?

1. probably a no
2. yes, not interested.

I don't like people who can't make decisions, so I wouldn't be interested anyway if she couldn't give me a straight answer.

Would you prefer a gay answer?

 

[Even]

1) Not Really, a few more questions would have to be asked.

2) Not Really also, this could be her test to see how serious you are. If you ask again in a month then you're serious. Obviously if the girl still says she's busy, walk away.

[Another guy]

1) no, altough depends upon the tome of the conversation
2) probably yes, hard to image she's busy every day/evening/weekend for a month. Also depends how keen I was on her, if she's worth it I'd pursue it further.

Since most of you answered 'no' to this one, let me ask you another. Why would this guy pull 'the vanishing act' on me?

He asked me once, maybe twice in a roundabout way, and I was non commital (though I gave him encouraging signals). He just vanished, and I didn't contact him either. Some time later (read : 6 months), he contacted me again. This time around, I didn't respond at all.

Any chances he will call again?

[Old Mike]

Gal,
I would say the answer is no.
Much of the pain and suffering in the world is caused by the simple fact that men do not receive women's    " signals", encouraging or otherwise. You may think you were encouraging him but chances are he will not even have noticed it. If he asked you in a roundabout way he may just have been shy or insecure.
If, last time, you did not respond at all, he has the impression that you are not interested.
Assuming you ARE interested, you need to contact him.

[a gal]

Old Mike, thanks for your advice. I am not an 'easy' woman. If a guy indulges in game playing and doesn't contact me for 6 months, what should I think of him?

If I HAD responded when he called me 6 months down the road, he would have thought of me as 'easy', and that I would talk to him whenever he talked to me or felt like talking to me.

Yes, I am interested but would like him to do the chasing.

[frankly my dear]

  OP, from your last post it sounds like you are the one trying to do the game playing. He isn't playing you. You just were not clear enough with him in the first place to indicate he should try again, even if you rebuffed him the first time. How old are you?

[msdfgseg]

1) Maybe she's attached but finds you engaging, thus cannot say yes immediatly or she will look like a slut.
2) Next!!
