Bangle Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Do you only get one shot to ask a girl out on a date?
Ihavenoidea Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Maybe, maybe not. You might see her again, you might not. Theres a 50/50 shot of only having one chance. Thats why you take everyone.
Hopeful30 Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 lol Let me tell you a story. My current boyfriend pursued me for 3 years, and I kept blowing him off. We went for coffee maybe 3 times during these 3 years because I was bored and not really interested. He would text me every now and then, call me every now and then. Next thing you know, we decide to go for coffee, end up talking for 12 hrs into 7 in the morning, and have been dating for almost 6 months since. I fell completely head over heels in love with him and can't imagine my life without him. Food for thought.
somedude81 Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Wow, that's an unusual occurrence. I think the same thing happened with Barak and Michele. He had to pursue her constantly for her to go out with him. Besides those rare occurrences, it really seems that guys only get one try. Actually, I wonder if time is a factor. There's a chick who rejected me back in March. Odds are I might end up with her in a class in the fall and I might as well ask her again. Of course I'm still pursing other girls.
Hopeful30 Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 That's pretty rare hopeful Its rare but its possible. I guess it depends on how you approach the girl as well. He wasn't harassing me, he wasn't being rude. He would text me once every couple months to see what I was up to, kind of kept himself "in my mind" so to speak, so I wouldn't forget him. But I can understand, if I was rejected for the first few tries I would give up. I have no idea what kept this guy going. Lucky me lol
xRJ85x Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Funny you make this thread today. I asked this girl out about three weeks ago. She said she was really busy (it was Memorial Day weekend) but she'd definitely like to go out. So I told her to let me know sometime she'd wanna go out. Never heard back from her. Fast forward to today, where a little girl I coach came in and asked me "Do you know so-and-so? She said she met you online and we talked about you!" Needless to say, I message her joking about this today. So I'll let you know the answer to your question over the next week or so hahaha.

They knew each other for the longest before they became involved romantically, though. He asked her out more than a few times before they ended up really getting to know each other, and they couldn't be happier that it happened at the right time for both of them. So it can happen.
Author Bangle Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 I was supposed to ask this girl out and I think she was expecting me to, but I couldn't bring myself to do it, that's what I meant by this one shot thing? Have I missed my opportunity, have I missed the boat?

Hate to say this, but this dude is a fool for chasing you for 3 years, you'll be good.....for the short term, but definitely not marriage material. If a guy has to practically be a stalker or just plain pushy like he did to win you over, you're not worth it.
