Why are women so confusing?

Sign in to disble this ad
I asked a girl out today. She said yes, I was very happy. Then she called and said she couldn't come. I said that was ok. Then she said " I dont want to date you, I just want to be friends."

Why woud a guy want to go to a movie just to be friends?

Exclamation ADVICE

If an attractive woman does not confuse you, check for an Adam's apple.

A Girl said that to me once too. I am now Married to her - we have been together for 19 years. If you are friends first that can develop into a great relationship. My friend who is now my wife - called me one day and said I don't think I just want to be friends anynmore - and the rest is History.

This'll pretty much do it.^^^

Not every girl you ask out is going to say yes or want to drop her clothes for you. Move along, nothing to see here.

I didn't expect her to "drop her clothes for me" but I asked her out on a date. She couldve said no.

Always remember:

1. Women are not wired like us men are. Generally they like to think long-term. We men, however.... well, you get the picture.
2. When they say they want to be just friends, then that's probably all they'll ever be. Which at times is not a bad thing.
3. There's lots of them out there. Get huntin'!

This makes me think it's one of two things...
1) You're not making it clear enough that you want to DATE them. They think you're just asking to HANG OUT with them. YOU'RE puting it in the friend zone before it even gets going. You have to NOT act like a friend when you ask them. You have to act like a guy who LIKES them in that guy/girl way. That could be why the first girl you mentioned called and clarified that she didn't want to date you, but just be friends. She probably didn't realize at the time you asked her, that you were actually looking to DATE her. She thought about it and the lightbulb went on after she left so she had to clarify with you. Good for her for being so up front.

2) People don't always say whats on their minds (guys and girls). Assuming the girl in the quote does not fall into the first category, and actually KNEW she was on a date with you... If she just didn't feel that way towards you after the date, she may have been trying to let you down easy by casually talking about other guys. It's a stupid stupid way to handle things, but i know a lot of people try to hint that they aren't interested by doing this.

Men and Women are wired completely different.

Sometimes I think it would be great to have a man's mind in a woman's body...

Does that make me gay?

I know, I'm preparing you for the idea that people will reject you. It's part of it.

...and she did tell you no, thankfully before you went out and got the wrong impression. Keep in mind that the whole process can be just as awkward for her as it can be for you. Maybe she didn't have the stomach to tell you no initially. Who knows. The point is that you know now and can keep going.

A lot of women wont say no on the spot because they don't know how. The think it's less awkward to say yes and then take it back later when it's not in person.

I wish all women were that straightforward. She's not playing any psycho mind-reading games with you. Count your blessings and move on.
