If a girl says "maybe later" when you ask her out, is that a rejection?

[owdey]

[Azara]

not necessarily. depends if she's shy thought you hated her is sick, has any other reason to be unsure or caught off guard.

though i wouldn't say i can't make a plan right now ill let yo know when im able. or id schedule it for a different time. maybe is a sucky way of answering but it does happen where some people are just bad with plans. they can be flaky and you may not want to date them, but it doesn't mean its a no.

no thing means absolutely one thing. what you get here is peoples opinions of other people based on their personal opinion, or their penal experience.

if yore really into her and didn't feel convinced she meant no, ask until she say yes or no. this one way to cut through ambiguity. like ask once a month until you get an answer or get over her. thats what id do f the 'maybe' didn't turn me off.

depends how she said it too. did she look sincere or aloof?

it basically means whatever yo want t to mean until you get a real answer, so you can treat it however you like.

It depends entirely on context. It could be a genuine maybe later or it could be her politely telling you she's not interested. Add some details and we might be of more help

[Shorty1991]

Nope, not necessarily. If it was rejection she would say no. Or tell you she doesn't like you in that way. Maybe later means not tonight but maybe some other time.

[Truthatanycost]

Since when are people that honest and straight forward.. most are too worried about hurting an others feelings so they tone it down. Instead of saying ''I'm not interested'' they might say ''maybe later''.

[Shorty1991]

@Truthatanycost Yeah, I forgot. Very few people are like me. I'm very straight forward. would you prefer it if they were that honest? I know I would. Hate it when people sugar coat things.

[Truthatanycost]

People turn to me when they want the cold hard truth so I appreciate the same.

[Shorty1991]

@Truthatanycost yeah, after all honesty is the best policy. Subtlety is not my strongest point. . . in fact I'm as subtle as a punch in the face with words. Lol.

"That translates to ''if I run out of other options, am bored, desperate or have nothing better to do, I might call you''

You pretty much fucked dude. She's getting piped by someone already anyways so move on.

[Yes I'm here boyfriend]

[Polocrew]

Lmaoo if you gonna settle on that that's all u gonna get brah

[JohnDoe3000]

Yes, if she doesn't offer a specific alternative date it's a rejection and she's too much of a chickensh*t or doesn't respect you enough to just say it to your face.

[WillowTree]

Would you rather she say "eww no I'd never date you!"

[JohnDoe3000]

@WillowTree

She saying that anyway, just using different words and in a way that shows she either has no guts (though I suppose that makes the rejection easier because it immediately lowers her "value" in my eyes) or doesn't respect you as a person. She's also creating false hope with some guys who don't get the message.

[anonman32]

@WillowTree i would prefer her saying: no i dont want to go out on a date with you, (insert reason here) thats how i would reject someone.

[WillowTree]

@anonman32 Ah, so you're all up for the soul crushing kind of rejection that'll make him feel like he's so undesirable he'll want to throw himself in traffic? All righty, gotcha!

[anonman32]

@WillowTree i personally think that its worse to say maybe all the time and leave a person in uncertainty than actually being straight on. if you know the reason why you were rejected this could help you with self improvement to make you more desirable, but if she is always like maybe, maybe, maybe, and gives you no reason why she is rejecting you then you can become frustrated because you dont really know what to improve so you can become more desirable. i value honesty and i know that being honest can hurt someones feelings but i am okay with that. if i would reject someone like that i would not be cruel or disrespectful i would just be honest with them. i can't stand not being honest. i can't live with myself if i am not honest about these things.

[JohnDoe3000]

@WillowTree

The thing is that being vague is just as much a rejection as saying it out loud. Once the guy gets the message his feelings will be hurt either way. Most of us really do prefer a straightforward rejection, my myTake deals with this:

[WillowTree]

@anonman32 I see what you mean. Understood.

[anonman32]

@WillowTree i am glad that we can come to an understanding. i understand your point as well, there is no need to reject someone in a cruel way.

[Truthatanycost]

That translates to ''if I run out of other options, am bored, desperate or have nothing better to do, I might call you''

[Diamonz]

In most cases yes, unless you know she has a busy schedule, or has something personal she's going through

[Tenseven]

I know if I said that to a guy it's pretty much a rejection.

[anonman32]

well every time a girl says maybe to me nothing happens so i assume it is rejection.

[Reallio]

Try again later, if she does it again then take it as a rejection and move on fam.

[Luvme66]

yes... it is... would you expect her to have time for you in the future... if she doesn't even care about you in the present

[brewersfan01]

yea, its her way of trying not to hurt your feelings.

[Yanoa_Yanza]

That sounds like a rejection 'maybe later?' who says that xD

[MrAssHat]

its a nice way to reject you lol

[dudeman]

[takumii]
