Can't promise you anything

[EWY2369]

What does a guy mean when he tells you that he can't promise you anything? And especially when you haven't even gone out yet? This keeps happening to me and as soon as I hear that sentence, I am done. I feel like I can't win. What is the point?

For a guy, we need to say that. So girls don't get all attached from the first day, not that it's going to happen but we are just being careful. It has nothing to do with you, usually. "I'm done" is the worst thing you can do, just say "Of course I agree, I feel the same way", that will not only get his attention but also make you a little unreachable, which is quite appealing for most guys.

Austin said it all, we just HAVE to. Doesn't mean that we don't like you or we will never love you. But just giving you the hint that, hold off until we know each other better.

Are they saying this out of the blue or are you asking them something each time?
