How do you guys handle girls who, after you ask them out via text messages, say 'maybe' or 'my schedual is tight, but I'll think about it'?

Is this a subliminal NO most of the time? How can I tell if she's just shit testing me or something?

At this point, I'm not really sure what to do. I asked this girl for a beer on friday and she said 'my schedual is tight, I'll see : D.'

I responded with "ok, I have to go". Should I have ignored her? Should I push more or backoff?

Thats a firm "No"

freeze out and re-engage in a week, if that fails, which is likely, delete her.

bud this is what we call a "flaky" girl... don't waste your time even stressing it. and if you feel discouraged, I get numbers all the time. I never open convos unless I want to meet her right then or that day at some point, and I usually have about 8 convos going where hbs open me trying to display some value to me. but I still get these kinds of girls all the time. and like detox75 said I just delete them

What about trying to get into friendship with her?

I mean, even that's benefical as far as I'm concerned.

unless you have very good game and your fostering friendships in an effort to hump her friends and you have no emotional investment I would not pursue friendships with girls you would rather be fucking. It tends to mess too much with your mind instead of working on bettering your game and getting other girls.

this is a problem solved with a higher volume of girls, you screen girls harder when you meet them for what you are looking for in a girl, if she isn't lining up, you next her sooner, so that you don't have to do it later after wasting a bunch of time,

if a girl is wishy washy, it's your job to clear things up, you qualify her to what you want, communicate your intentions, and make this a win/win situation, all intentions with no value = creepy aka needy, all value with no intent = lack of confidence, no direction

you ask her out and she says

'maybe' or 'my schedual is tight, but I'll think about it'?

this is a good sign that she doesn't give a fuck about you, what is this ''my schedule is tight, but i'll think about it?'' shit, this is some pretty blatent shit right here

call her out on this sort of shit, ''you'll think about it? lol, really?''

that totally gets a fucking yellow card, why waste your time on this shit, this is worth it to bust on her and stop giving her attention until she invests, if she won't invest then this is obviously a waste of time

if she isn't down, find a girl that is, get more volume, and figure out sooner if they are down or not, you should be talking to more girls and going beyond just are they interested, figure out what you want in a girl and look for it, if she doesn't have it, then why would you want to be with her? I know when I'm looking for girls, I don't want some girl that doesn't give a shit about me who is no fun and not up for adventure, what about you?

I treat these girls the same way I treat "Maybe" friends.

Simple "Don't worry then"
