Bells Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 ....yes, it's cliche'd..but the translation is...."No, she's just not interested in dating YOU right now." Apparently, this single woman, in our "circle of friends" as just made an announcement in her own blog (well, for those who can VIEW her blog) that she keeps getting the same question from old friends. "Are you dating anyone now?" She said, to save on time in telling each and everyone, she figured she'd announce it in her blog that she's just focusing on friends and professional life. Honestly, I've seen guys pursue her....sometimes relentlessly. I do have to say, she is rather attractive. She's even had a guy (he volunteered, of course) drive out to her house to put up blinds for her, so she wouldn't have to pay for a guy to install it. lol And another guy come out and fix her computer Gee..I wonder why....I am assuming this blog entry was made due to these guys possibly making an attempt to ask her out. (that would be the only reason they'd be doing her these favors.) So, with that said, sometimes when a woman says she's "not dating now"....she means it.....and she means it with ANY guy, yes....even the ones she could possibly have interest in.
Jilly Bean Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 This is entirely untrue. If she says she's not dating right now, it means she's not interested in you, or anyone else she's met recently. Trust me - if the right person walks into her life, she'll be interested.
D-Lish Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 This is entirely untrue. If she says she's not dating right now, it means she's not interested in you, or anyone else she's met recently. Trust me - if the right person walks into her life, she'll be interested. Couldn't agree more, that's right on the money.
Author Bells Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 This is entirely untrue. If she says she's not dating right now, it means she's not interested in you, or anyone else she's met recently. Trust me - if the right person walks into her life, she'll be interested. You would say "Entirely" untrue? Even if it's an announcement she's made to the general public so all single men can hear. Even if she shouted it from the highest mountain top for ALL to hear? I mean, do you think it's actually POSSIBLE, she's just not interested in MEN? Well....men right now. This woman you can't talk about any dating to pics with, because ....well...she'll just tell ya, "Sorry, I couldn't answer that dating question...because...well...I'm not dating." A friend of mine told me that shouldn't stop me...and say, "Hey, neither am I.....how about we grab a bite to eat?"
BlueHarvest Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I think your focusing too much on her. She couldn't be any clearer. Find someone else, be her friend, don't be a doormat. The guys who went over to hang blinds and fix her computer...they are either 1) True friends who didn't mind it or 2) Doormats hoping to get in her panties. My bet is #2. If a girl asks me to do something for them and they are just a mere acquaintance I kind of make a joke about us at least hanging out after or something. If they respond positively to it then I'll help them out then hang out with them after or go to dinner. If they respond negatively to the joke then I make an excuse about how I'm not sure if my schedule would allow me the time to help them. Don't be a tool, don't be a doormat. Help your true friends if they need help. But don't be a blind love puppy.
carhill Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Just remember to remind her, jokingly, when she's gushing over the hottie she just met, that "she's not dating". Don't be a tool, don't be a doormat. Help your true friends if they need help. But don't be a blind love puppy. So true. IME, the vast majority of women I've met who are "friendly" are not my friend. True friends help each other and are there for each other. I've only met two such women (platonic friends) in my long life. The rest were only looking for "help" or an ego feed. Not wrong of them, but I have no illusions about their path
