Is it possible to start a relationship with someone who doesn't like you by being persistent?

It's possible to have something casual, but not a relationship that goes anywhere. I've seen guys who have gotten laid that way, and women who have become toys.

I've never seen a happy ending though. Even in BDSM relationships, you need some reason to be interested in each other, simply pestering the other person will not get them to want to contact you or respect you. It might get you laid though.

It very, VERY heavily depends on what you’re persistent about. It’s all well and good to let someone know you’re interested in dating them, but if they initially turn you down and your response is to consistently and continuously ask them out because you really want to date them, then no. That’s just harassment. However, if you get turned down and instead of insisting on a date you insist on being good to them, making sure they have your support, treating them well, and being an all around excellent person they know they can rely on in hard times, that is more likely to turn into a relationship. You can’t keep pushing and expect them to want it, but if you can show why you’d make a good match for them they’ll want to keep you around.

No, it will only make him/her dislike you because nobody likes pushy people. You cannot make someone like you. You just accept being friends or leave them once they get to know you without you trying to impress them maybe they'll end up reconsidering things and like you but coming off strong is a big no-no.

Why would you want too. If they say they don’t, or act like they don’t, as a man I would suggest not simping for a woman. She will not respect him later in the relationship, it’s better to leave and let her come back to you and decide either she is worth it the other way around.


Yes, women want to be chased and men should “chase” to a point. But I don’t put a ton of effort into chasing a female. Not at the cost of my peace and happiness. If I do a little chasing and she is interested we can go further if not, there is plenty other fish in the sea.

Grant Cardone called his wife once a week for almost a year until she said yes for a date.

You think that by blocking me you'll get rid of me?
You want war? You're gonna have it

[Pinay_ako]

Nah. That’s just downright harassment.

[Anonymous]

Ehhh. Depends what you mean by persistent. If you mean stubborn maybe it’s reasonable. But if it’s showing interest. Nahhh I’m a attention hog. I’m needy as can be and clingy. But not to a EXTREME.


I do value some personal time. But there’s people who are like me and there’s people who need someone whose not like that.

I suppose that's how she achieved it:

Henry Cavill with an ex

It's unlikely that he desired her a lot, did he?

Mind you it wasn't a fling because she was dumped only after telling everyone the details of what they were doing in bed.

[RingOfFire]

Yes. Sometimes it takes a while before someone realizes they are attracted to you. It's risky though because most of the time when someone feels that way they are not and never will be interested. So you risk coming off as a real creep if you are a guy and a really annoying pain in the a** if you are a girl. But on rare occasions that can turn out differently.

[LittleSally]

It might be, but is that what you really want?

In the end it most probably won't last...

[nolabels]

Sure.

It can also end up being disastrous more times than not, in my opinion.

[NathanDavis]

only in fiction...

[Bklynbadboy12]

No if I'm not attracted to you and I don't like you I don't care how persistent you are I'm not gonna be in a relationship with you what you'll end up doing is annoying me and I won't wanna be around you at all

[sheenagwapa]

the worst thing that can happen to someone is being with someone who doesn't love you.

[FilmGuy93]

The real question is why would you even want to?

[art84]

You can't force someone to fall in love with you even have feelings for you when they want nothing to do with you.

[warsevf]

Yes and no. No, if you keep bugging them, Yes, if you are keeping your boundaries. Win win for everyone right?

[DizzyAster2]

Nah, that's some 1950s shit. It will not work today. You'll get put on a registry.

If anything, move on. There are other people out there.

[Anonymous]

Yes but it is a sign that they are ignorant.

[SunnyRS]

Have you expressed how you feel honestly to that person?
What was his or her response?

[lorenzomichael]

Ghee let me think🤔 do the letters FN mean anything to you?

[slatyb]

Very rarely. Mostly it's just obnoxious.

[rosemilk]

that's absolutely toxic... don't do that.

[boggboss]

Depends on the person
