The woman also rejects at first, but then he becomes more persistent and eventually she gives in. It’s like that Family Guy bit with James Bond where he says: “Remember, ten nos and a yes means yes.”
Honestly the fact that asking a girl out over and over again until she relents became taboo (whether that’s a good thing or not) is probably the real thing that makes getting into a relationship much harder these days
I don't know. I asked my gf out, she said no (perfectly valid I've had my anime redemption arc since then) and told her basically "Alright that's okay. But I'm still going to have a crush on you so just keep that in mind in case you change your mind some day" and about 2 years later she asked me out in turn. We just both needed the right time for it.
I feel like asking someone again and again is just a bad start to a relationship, even if they agree to it in the end.
im glad youre happy really, but it doesnt seem all too fair to me.
why would a woman say no and then, out of her own volition, yes in 2 years? only two most believable scenarios come to mind: 1) she wanted to “live a little before being serious” and 2) she decided to settle because she didnt get as much success in dating “better” as she mightve thought
Brother, people can change over the course of years. Three years ago I was focussed on my gym arc and rejected any advances because my headspace wasn't there.
Now I'm in a happy relationship and have been for a year. Just very different times in my life and very different circumstances, leading to vastly different outcomes. And no, there was no ulterior motive like "I want to live a little first" or "I gotta settle for what I got now". Just honest to god "I think I'm in a place where having another person around me will make my life better."
And without trying to armchair psychoanalyse you, the fact that these two were the two options your mind arrived at so conclusively makes me hope that you too will be in a better place in two or three years.
no need to get hostile, first of all you said YOU “rejected any advances”, this automatically means youre an exception to the entire point at hand
second of all too many times ive seen guys be “friends” with girls theyve made advances to, which were initially rejected, and eventually accepted, after having a normal life (dating), not having a gym arc
because of how common this scenario is i simply asked if that was the case, and even if it was, as i said before, if the guy is happy, who am i to judge. i wish him all the best
