At what point should a guy stop pursuing a girl?

everything depends on the depth of your relationship with her.
if sh is not interested in talking with you... if she doesn't give you chances, any chances at all
if the girl seems to be interested in another guy, then maybe you'd try to stop chasing her

and if the other way round things are going, and you can feel there is still a way or another to get her.

i believe every guy can get the girl he wants to love him if he knew the key for her personality and adjusted it to hers, but how !... I don't know

it's hard to say because sometimes things hapen and it prevents 2 people from being together such as moving away to another city or even country. yeah but if she's married, well, it's kinda hard to pursue when she's already taken. I'm sure there are plenty of other women who are more suitable to you

Ugh... Just make sure she is game for the chase. If she really isn't interested, you will come off as a persistent puppy dog. Sorry, that's just how it is. If she shows signs of attraction to you, then go for it. But we don't necessarily love persistence! Sometimes it is aggravating!

I would have to agree. My dad begged my mom for a year to go out with him. Finally one day she accepted. They dated a few months, but then school started up and she dumped him again. Saying she needed to focus on college. But he kept trying to take her out every couple weeks while she was in school until finally she fell in love with him. Got engaged 8 months later. Married for 25 years. Guys really don't understand the power of persistence lol it makes us feel like the fairytale is real.

Um I don't know my dad asked my mom out the first time he saw her and she said no, the next time he asked she gave him a fake phone number...they ended up married for 19 years and he said he was persistent. I will ask him for more details though but I think in that case, she was giving him the runaround because he had a reputation for being a player and she didn't really know him

Buuut if the girl seems like she is really irritated by you, bothered or angry just stop. I've had guys be persistent to me and I ended up having to get really rude and nasty for them to get the picture. If someone doesn't like you being persistent is basically like being a stalker. There has to be a sense of reciprocity if you don't get that then move on to other choices

does she respond to you?/did she ever respond to you in a way that would suggest she's interested in a relationship with you?
I enjoy a chase because it makes you feel wanted, but I don't lead him on to believe I'm not interested in him at all or anything that would have him question whether to continue pursuing me.
It could be that she's a flirt but actually not interested in a relationship / not ready for a relationship.
If it were me, and I was questioning whether someone wanted to be with me this early on, I would give up and just do my own thing..

Actually to me, no matter how hot the guy is, no matter how lovely his personality is, no matter how charming and wonderfull he could be... when he chases me around way too much, its kinda a turn off to me.

If you really like her that much, try to do whatever you do for a short while, untill you back off to see what's gunna happen, will she misses you? will she wonder why the hell isn't he calling me? or whatever...?
This always works... you just put yourself out there, tell her how much you like her, if she doesn't respond, back off... if she likes back but didn't wanna tell you , she will come around , believe me!
If she never comes back and try to conact you, that's when you have to let go and not chase her around anymore...
Otherwise, if you keep doing that.. she'll think you re just desperate and get turned off and you would come out as a stalker! No body wants a stalker...

Just do whatever you do now for a while, then back off and watch!

Well as your figuring out there is a point and a time when you got to just give up. Have you talked to this girl that you like her. I think you both should talk about how you feel and then go from there. Maybe lay off a little bit cause I personally don't think that all women love persistence.. Like they do but not so much its overbearing. Just talk to her and go from there is what I would say. Hope this helps!

Why would you want to be with a women who hesitates to be with you?

She is repulsed by you so much, that she won't even date you - honestly, why would you want a relationship with a girl like that?

ignore her for a while... make her think... don't necessarily give up on her... but make it fun... completely avoide her for a few days a week whatever... she'll realize you're not there... and if she doesn't then yeah you're wasting your time

You shouldnt let a woman know that you whorship her like that. I'm in the same stuation I love this girl to death! I could even see myself having kids with this girl. Its scary because if she rejects me I wil be upset. The thing is I have held off e-mailing her or whatever so often and I haven't gotten all mushy and told her my feelings yet. So far its held up but I'm getting to the point now where I'm trying to tell her that I'm tired of chasing her because she is just stringing me along rightnow and I'm trying t figure out why. Until I get that answere I am flurting with other girls picking a new target to chase.

I personally would just leave her. If a women truly loves you they should never make you feel like a dog or a slave.

A very good question, and kind of what I've run into myself recently (you can look at my profile -> questions if you want to see my story). Reading this actually helped me, maybe I should be a little more persistent after I've backed off for another week or two. I've been backing off for about two weeks now, and it has seemed to have been noticed. Try again in a bit and who knows! So yeah, thanks for asking this!

You've already got some great answers from others, and I'll add this: Persistence has its place. Just tonight I heard a story of my great-grandpa who persisted after a girl so much she moved to Chicago (partially) to get away from him! He moved there also, (partially) to follow her, and kept being persistent. That lady FINALLY became his wife and my great-grandma. Now that was definitely a different time, but even Pres. Obama had to keep asking the First Lady out before she accepted.

When she gets the cops involved...

Well when guys want to get close to girls they usually pull away, but when guys ignore girls they want to get closer to the guys. Maybe she just sees you as too easy and maybe you should back off for awhile.

Maybe your just scary nice

Stop chasing her and be direct - ask her out and tell her your not into games - Some girls I knew would lead my freinds into all sorts of games and make them jump through hoops then went out with someone else - it may hurt but it will hurt more later if you keep doing what you are doing - she is obviously the one who is going to be the loser if you stop chasing her - you might even want to play the game back - stop chasing her and let her know she isn't worth the effort anymore she may start to chase you?

whoa maybe a little info on the girl. do you tall to her, asked her out? don't persue. since there isn't enought info in your discription, ill can't really give an answer. try not persueing her and give her time to notice you've stoped. if she doesn't then move it along.

When she doesn't reciprocate your attention or effort is a good time to stop wasting your time.

I'd rather be with someone who _wants_ to be with me, and who isn't difficult.

When you become stalkerish / obsessive or you become unstable etc.

no woman is worth chasing/pursuing. if a woman doesn't give you her number, and you have to ask for it, your wasting time.

If she's not responding to your calls/text/email. That's probably a good sign to stop.
