Why do guys reject girls then come back to them?

[DermalPunch]

This poll was inspired by @Still-alive question.

Girls, how many of you have been rejected before when asking someone out?

G@Gers would have you think that no women are the first to express explicit interest in a guy. But there are women, especially, myself who do so.

I have found most of the time, that these men who I know are dying to get to know me will soft ghost when I give the green light then come back. By this time I've completely lost interest and I am completely turned off by the lack of "carpe diem" on their part.

Choose the poll option you think is the most likely reason 🙏.

They aren't that into you but don't have any other options

They weren't expecting reciprocation and are insecure

They sense it will get serious and want to think it over

Wow! 100 votes in the poll. That is enough of a sampling to apply this to society at large!!!

[JJHavoc]

Most of the time it's either cause they r players and got bored with u, or they actually care and thought it was best for u till they found out about more in ur life and wanted to protect u.

[DermalPunch]

Accs. It's either one or the other. Men are either playing or they disappear and come out swinging when their serious. It's almost scary.

[Wubs3000]

I did this once but basically it was because I wasn't sure if I liked them and then later I realized I did.

[anon1903]

I think it's insulting to go back to the person you've rejected in the past. Because A. It can be for stupid reasons, in that case, ha-ha! You don't deserve them. B. Because now you're available, and you think they might be waiting for you like a character in chick flick, in that case haha again!

[DermalPunch]

Yes and no but mostly yes.

I also need explanation to this! I understand some men have been broken and would trust no women. But in cases like mine where I was only nice and good, those guys rejected me and I don’t find their reasons. It’s even more confusing when days, weeks, months later they come back saying “sorry, I made a mistake, would you give me a chance?” …like seriously, after days of self esteem healing, they want a chance…. At least women say they are not attracted, they don’t feel the same way, they are seeing someone, they have a boyfriend…some BS to not hurt the guys feeling or ego. But men, geezuhz….

[Agagagagaga]

I could tell you why guys do this, but you won’t like it.

[Opinion Owner]

Bring it on…

[DermalPunch]

They made the rounds and are back to you. Figure you are an easy mark. Men are really awful like that.

[Opinion Owner]

Yup, I thought about that. It’s why no matter how hard they tried, their chance was gone the moment they rejected me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Giving a green light” isn’t initiation, and it’s not “rejection” when it doesn’t go your way. If your cues are passive, then you can fairly expect their responses to be similarly passive. Especially in this day and age.
The largest and widest reaching poll of its kind at the time, conducted by OKCupid, indicated that only 14% of women had ever asked a man out, and a negligible percentage of them do so as a regular practice.

[DermalPunch]

When I say green light I mean telling the person I like them or giving them my contact details.

[Chazmatazz269]

That’s still fairly passive compared to straight up asking them out. Though arguably less ambiguous than other more traditional signals.

[DermalPunch]

If that is still ambiguous then that person can't be helped.

Men are cheap in this regard, when they reject a girl interested in them they get some confidence, after thinking it over they regrets and try even harder when they see the girl's disinterest. Like man... Couldn't you just stopped acting hard-to-get and just date the girl that appeals you? 🤣
Sorry guys, but it's really funny when I see it in real life. It's like going to fish but losing even the bait in the end, lol 😆

Same reason why girls reject guys and then come back to them I guess. Some people reject someone in the hopes of being chased after and persued, but when that doesn’t happen and the rejected person moves on, the first person feels like they’ve missed out so they try to get them back.

[princessxx2]

So my guy and I before meeting chatted once and I directly forced him to meet on on day 2 while other girls took 6-7 months on chat before meeting in person and guess what he proposed me on 3rd date and we are in a serious relationship since 6 months now :) so guy who rejects girl means he is bored and he has obviously so many options just like you do haha

[DizzyDesii]

If they reject then comeback its only because their “true target goal of a girl” rejected them right after so they go backwards and revert back to the most recent person that was actually interested in their ass. This is really for any gender tho

[qwert1234]

I mean, there is not one singular reason why this happens.

Maybe he made a mistake.

Maybe he was not ready.

Maybe she was his "second choice" and their "first choice" rejected them.

Maybe other reasons.

[daddysbabygirl1]

The love of my life rejected me for another woman in 2004. It broke my heart I was pregnant and didn’t know it at the time. In the end he left her stayed single and just had sexual encounters with women until him and I ended up back together again in 2020 as of now were still together and very much in love, I am and pray that he is

[DermalPunch]

Interesting.

[ronaldo75]

Because they got rejected by the girl they really want, or they thought they could do better than you and found out after a while they couldnt. Women do the exact same thing and y'all do it more often.

[Blueeyes81]

It's called you were plan B not A. Once plan A doesn't pan out you got upgraded from B to A.

In other words he has options and you weren't his first choice.

[mobiusforniner]

The girls I rejected I never went back to.

The girls who rejected me have all tried to come back, however. One girl tried even after I got married.

[bobby_bush_eater]

Usually there's someone else and then there isn't..

[melanieeeB]

I will say, their other option rejected them in some way and now they come back around for option nr. 2,3,4, or whatever

Boredom tends to entrain otherwise tedious activities.

[Anonmehahaha]

Id like to know the answer to this. Cause one idiot came back after 10 months

[EmmaMary]

Because guys simply haven't got a clue what they want, and are constantly being led by the "little head" between their legs! 😂

[DermalPunch]

Men know what they want. They just don't like upsetting women, generally. Also, it's very hard for them to be totally honest when getting laid or at least a BJ involved. They will take what they can get until they can't anymore or they find what they have been wanting.

[hahahmm]

If women knew what they wanted they wouldn't be so many single women hitting late 30s+ who couldn't convince a man to take them seriously & now are whining about it. They would have done what was best for their goals in their 20s.

[DermalPunch]

@hahahmm I have to agree. Women have fallen for this feminist BS hook, line and sinker and they want the best of both worlds. It didn't work out but I was married at 23 because I didn't want to dick around dating. Pun intended.

[hahahmm]

@DermalPunch Yup. Good for you.

[vduong1988]

i had 5 guys rejected me i got hurt been crying pass 3 days i was heart broken

[jengeorge26]

Using you for sex only

[DermalPunch]

I am talking about before that. People just falling into bed with people like it's nothing these days.

[malwins]

They changed their mind?
