Monkey-branching - What should I do?

[Anonymous]

Had[36M] a successful date last Wednesday, ending with a kiss and also a French one. I left her[31F] with 'lets keep in touch.' But no message was sent from her either on Thursday or Friday, so I texted her yesterday (Saturday). I asked her out for the coming week, but she said she will be super busy the whole week... but this week she was available all days.. So In my eyes, a wishy-washy excuse oooor maybe she do are busy..

Then I said: 'That's too bad, maybe we should take it some other time?'
She answered: 'I'll be sure to get in touch after upcoming week!'
Good, maybe she will, maybe she won't.. time will tell.

But either way I smelled something fishy was going on here (hot and cold), so I checked her FB (we were already chatting on messenger), and found out her FB-status was 'in a relationship' with no person connected to it..

How big of a deal is a FB-status these days, maybe people aren't changing these anymore or are lazy/sloppy to keep it to date?
She's still very active/online on the datingapp where I met her, so I do suspect a some sorta of flag with red'ish shade here..

What am I supposed to do, IF she gets in touch?
Is she monkeybranching or actually single, what's your guess?

Be honest and truth to each other, and ask her: Hey, are you a monkey?

Just go with it

Ditch her, she's a bag of headache.

Here's what I'd do, bro:

This chick is definitely giving you some mixed signals and her actions seem sketch. The Facebook relationship status is a red flag, even if they don't use it seriously anymore.

If she does hit you up again next week like she said, I'd play it cool but keep your guard up. Set up another casual date, but make it clear you're still seeing other people too so she knows you won't wait around. Go with an open mind but don't invest too much yet.

Pay attention to how available she really is this time - does she flake last minute or blow off plans? And see if any details emerge on social media about who this "mystery man" is she's seeing.

My guess is she might be monkeybranching or trying to juggle you both till she makes a choice. Don't let her play games man. If it seems like she's still hooked on someone else, I'd peace out sooner than later so you don't waste your time. You deserve someone who's really into you!

Let me know how it shakes out whenever she reaches back. I got your back either way bro.

It's not a red flag but more like a yellow flag. Don't put too much effort into her if you aren't getting any effort back

Thanks, don't offer more than I get.

Funny when men do it, he is improving his life.

When a woman does it, they call it monkey-branching.

Men are such hypocrites.

[Asker]

What do you mean improving his life?

To me I view rebounds as low self-esteem and can't be happy single, regardless of gender.

Improving life is being happy in an honest relationship.

But I might be wrong, dunno

She's not into you.
