Search Results: test if a guy likes you

So, you connect with woman online a week ago. You chat for a few days; you exchange numbers, and you talk on the phone that Monday. So, you have been texting for about four days prior to your first phone call. Now mind you her activity bubble on the site stays green, like all the time.

Monday - she says she has Friday and Saturday off work, but maybe Friday you can get together.

Wednesday - You been texting at least three or four times a day... you ask her if Friday is still a good day, and if you can give her call on Thursday to discuss making plans. She says that she thinks we could definitely work something out.

Thursday- you text her and ask if she has time for a quick phone call. She says she is getting ready for work. So, you text her and say no worries, I just need to know if Friday is a yes or no.

She replies with I am sorry, but I made plans to go do something with a girlfriend, and she makes no comment about Saturday being an option.

Now I know what I said and did. But what I want to ask you all, is do you think she is really going out with a girlfriend, just brushing me off, or seeing another guy?

Both genders are guilty of this. However we are (supposed) to get better at judging and/or giving advice as we get older and more experienced.

But I’ve had grown ass woman say some ridiculous things to me in the past. I feel like many of them take a common mental shortcut falsely believing that dating is same more men as it is for themselves (when all else equal). It’s not. Not at all. Not even close.

That’s not say I don’t know women have to deal with some common pitfalls. Many men will lie to women and tell want them just what they want to hear to get their foot in the door. They figure that once a woman catches feelings for them they will get a “pass” on their bs. Sadly this sometimes works if the guy is good at it. But not always. Also it never works out in the long run for guys. Plus it makes women more bitter and resentful to men in general after the process.

But anyway I feel most women who criticize men don’t put the mental effort into understanding the challenges most men face in the early steps of dating.

Most don’t understand how we are expected to take risks and stick our necks out. How we get shit tested. How we usually have to plan dates and usually spend money. How the odds are usually stacked against us. How we are supposed to keep calm and brush off (sometimes nasty) rejection and just move on quickly forgetting about it. How women falsely assume that men run into just as many opportunities as they do. Etc.
