Girls, has a persistent guy ever been successful with you?
YES!!
I subconsciously push men away to test if they're really interested.
All of the guys I have ever loved have shown consistent interest and decency, even when I was on the fence at the start.
However (and this is a big but) if the woman could not find you attractive then it's not a red light to keep trying.
If you get nos from lots of women and you don't feel that you are generally attractive to them, then work on yourself first (because no amount of persistence will help you if she doesn't fundamentally find you attractive).
If it's just this specific girl that seems a bit reticent, then obviously don't bombard her with interest... but let word get out that you do really like her then try again at a later date.
@El_Prez Yeah.. it's not a very good strategy tbh but I can't help it (I end up getting labelled as cold and asexual)... I can only imagine it's worse when dealing with women!
I like big buts and I cannot lie... lol. I think I do fairly well on the attraction scale, but it really is this one girl I have interest in.
The way she looks at me, the things she says, the way she touches me... there must be attraction. She has said many compliments to me, including "I think you'd look cute in that" and talked me up to others "He looks good." And so many compliments about my personality and style.
I'll be honest with you, when I tell a guy no... I usually mean it. I have a high school friend who to this day tries to convince me that we're made for each other. I always turn him down, it's been 8 years and still nothing. You first need to know why she doesn't want to be in a relationship with you. If she does like you but has other reasons, maybe religion for example, then yeah just keep on persisting. Now if she really just don't like you/have no feelings for you/doesn't find you attractive, my advice is move on...
Hope I helped!
Never had someone ask me out let alone be persistent about it so I don’t know if it would’ve worked but now I’ll never know because my current relationship started pretty much right when we met. No one had to be persistent about it being a thing because we both knew right away that we could never say goodbye to each other.
Move on. If she can't say she likes someone who likes her, you'd be constantly dealing with it through the relationship.
And most likely: she doesn't like you.
Girls are really cunning creatures!
We can't underestimate them..

My fiance was, but he wasn't persistent in the refusing to take no for an answer and being pushy.
I mean if we have absolutely no interest in you and you’re persistent it’s a huuuuuge turn off. The chance that you maybe would have had has went to 0%. If she says she’s not interested once the chances are that she’s actually really just not interested.
So once I had a guy persistent and I didn’t end up with him. Another guy was persistent also and we dated but I wasn’t that into him. A friend of mine had this one man chasing after her too, he was persistent and now they’re married with two children. It can happen but all situations are different.
What made you finally give in, and how long did you date?
I gave in because he was a good guy and still is but he eventually drove me up the wall. We were together only 3 months.
Lol was he too clingy?
No, he started to argue about dumb stuff. If I’m interested in a guy, I welcome him being a little clingy. I like it lol
Lol...
Would you consider yourself introverted?
No, I’m not introverted
Hmm. With introverted girls, aggressive persistence will scare them off. It won't work. So, be gently persistent in texting them and saying hi and talking about stuff, building a solid friendship but don't be persistent in asking them out.
I definitely don't want to scare her off! Finding the balance with her is difficult...
My guy was very persistent. We meet in a bar but I shot him down (pretty harshly). We ended up together a few months later.
Just because a girl is introverted does not mean she can't let you know when she is not interested. If she is brushing you off on any attempts. Move on.
Good point, one must watch out for the way she responds.
Some girls won’t be so confrontational. You’ll need to use your best judgement. if she hasn’t given you ANY signs that she appreciates your persistence, it’s time to move on. Call it her loss but move on.
Well usually I mean it when I say I'm not interested, this guy grew up with me knew him for years and he like me at a couple points but he's still a bro/cuz to me. But some girls might be different
My so was persistent on meeting me. We probably wouldn't be together if he hadn't been.
Usually the more persistent someone is the more I'm trying to keep them away. Not true for my present partner tho - he stuck for about a year and here he is now. I guess it depends on the way you're being persistent.
In what way was he persistent?
Well in a not annoying way. All the others constantly asked to meet, always called me sweet names, after I asked them not to. He waited for me to get comfortable to meet again and respected my wishes for not being called babe, honey etc. And he didn't hurry with the sex as well. Stuff like that.
Ah, ok... makes sense. How long did it take for you to get comfortable again? Are you an introverted person?
I am an ambrivert. And it took me few months before I even started getting him close to me.
Yes, I’m HS he turned out to be an arrogant asshole🙄
Yeah guy I really liked but wasn't sure about was persistent, I was testing him and a year later I gave in.
Also I know for me at least, I'll only be upfront about not being interested to guys I'm not interested in, so if I have t said that to a guy then yes I have interest in him.
*haven't
What weren't you sure about?
Also, those tests are confusing LOL
Yeah I've no doubt but we all do it lol. I was unsure of his intentions.
What finally made you sure?
A lot of things really that just added up to a bigger sign of genuine interest. I got to know him properly over that time so any facades that men try to pull fade away.
Yes after 20 years I gave in and found out he was the only one for me
Yes i married one. All the other girls dropped their panties just because he's cute but not me.
Its fine to be persistent just make sure you're not coming on too strong
It is a fine balance lol
Persistence can also get you in trouble
Depends on how persistent
Yeah, my boyfriend.
No. Because l don't change my mind.
He wasn’t told no.
Just given excuses
never... ever
