Words to lookout for when asking a girl out:
Schedule
Busy
If she mentions any of the two above, she is probably not interested. If she asks to do it some other time, but does not provide an alternative time, she is also probably not interested.
Sometimes they'll keep switching around the date on you after you ask them. That is also an effort to tell you that they don't want anything to do with you romantically.
Very true! If a girl actually wants to see you, she won't even mention her schedule or being busy. After all, girls/women know that "busy" is a code word for "not interested" (heck, they're the ones who use it in that context most often). So they won't even use the word, to avoid the risk of you walking away. If she does mention her schedule, it'll be the opposite: she'll either say "my schedule is flexible" or tell you when she
can make it.
I once had a girl, who I met online, cancel a date (via text) a few hours before it was supposed to happen, with the usual schedule/busy excuse. It went something like this.
Her: (blah blah blah, I gotta cancel) can we could talk about it again in a month?
Me: did i read that correctly? a month? do you think that low of me or are you just naive?
Her: (blah blah blah, busy with school and work) but it'll be better in a month
Me: do you have any idea how insulting that it? expecting me to wait like that
Her: (apologizing and talking about how busy she is)
Me: ok
I felt pretty good after this conversation, even though the date plans went down the crapper. Over the years, I learned to take a harsher stance on girls who cancel or postpone dates. In this case, I knew she was just telling me crap. Seriously, a month? Even if she told me something like "visiting a family member in the hospital", I'd text back something sympathetic-sounding, but still wouldn't hold my breath for the date rescheduling. Ditto for things like "can't make it, let's do it next week"; I'd assume she's blowing me off and not try to reschedule.
