Would it discourage you from asking a girl out if you found out she was attracted to another guy, even though she was trying to avoid him?

[Bethany22]

If you were interested in a girl, would you be discouraged from asking her out if you overhead her saying that she was trying to avoid places where her crush went, so that she could stop liking him? Would you be worried that even though she was trying to get over him, she might still be too emotionally tied to him to be interested in you? Or would you take the opportunity to ask her out, since she seems to be going through a vulnerable time of not feeling desirable?

I'd be extra self-conscious asking her out than usual

I'd be less self-conscious than usual, as I could take the opportunity to make her feel better about herself

I wouldn't typically make a move in a situation like that... but It also kind of depends on how I found out that she likes the other guy. I'm not likely to ask her out for the simple fact that I'd be competing with her idealized fantasy of another man. The real me could be live up to her fantasy.

It's not an insecurity thing though

If I'm interested in a girl then I go for it all full throttle let the chips fall where they may because I never want to wonder what if. If you let something discourage you that could cause you to miss out on a great relationship and experience. If it don't work out then at least you tried and now you know for sure

[Purpleronnie]

Playing games or throwing my hat into the ring with “that” type of girl is a non starter and I’d likely be put off straight away. A girl that is attracted to another guy yet avoiding him just makes no sense and paints a picture of her that I instantly don’t like and infers a lot about her in quite a negative way

[Wetdreamz]

Not unless im in high school again and my intentions were to knowingly allow myself for her to use me so he notices and for me to use her for sex

[RavVid]

Ok she says to you and lets say you build a relationship.

The her crush asks her out. She drop you like a hot scone and get pregnant to him.

[NathanDavis]

this seems like a fixation on someone... and seems rather juvenile, so I would avoid these situations entirely

[OlderAndWiser]

I am not willing to enter into a relationship with any girl knowing that I am her second choice!

[worldscolide]

I'd ignore her. I don't like playing competition. I don't like being second fiddle to someone else. So until she could make up her mind I'd simply ignore her.

[handsomelad70]

Yeah, because with my boyish good looks even at 70, I know I could get a broad who wanted only me.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Plain and simple. I would have zero interest in someone that wasn't interested in me!

[TonyMetal___86]

Cancel the date and tell her to go back to the person who is in her mind!
I want someone for me, not someone who is with me and another at the same time or just using me to get over her ex!

[loveslongnails]

If I know for a fact that a girl is hot for someone else, why would I waste my time, unless I thought she was SO amazing I had to try?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I'd be extra self-conscious asking her out than usual

[Staximus]

There wouldn't be any self-consciousness, I just wouldn't be involved with a woman who's mind is on another guy

[DextroShade]

If she is hung up on some other dude then I am not interested.

[JamesRandiDebates]

I might use her as a pump and dump. Nothing more.

[Anonymous]

Just because there's competition doesn't mean you quit the game, it means you play harder

[shoeboxcerealcard]

You sure that's smart?

[Opinion Owner]

@shoeboxcerealcard I'm sure that you miss all of the shots you never take

[spartan55]

Too immature, a hard pass for me.

[Anonymous]

Uh, yeah. Duh!😆
