    I just asked a girl out and she responded "I will tell you later"

    The hell does that mean?

    IMHO, it means she's trying to buy herself a bit of time to figure out a nice way to say no

    Oh my god, that's unreal.

    I would have said 'forget it, love'.

    I've no idea what it means - but I would say it's a no tbh. Sounds like she needs to get over herself imo.

    Yeah, actually. Good point. Circumstances might make the whole thing appear less arsey. Doubt it though. I would never say that to someone, personally..

    well done for asking her out, you're a rare breed of guy who does that nowadays. if she doesn't reply within the next day or two, take it that she isn't decent enough to be honest with you. Or you could just reply with "Is that a no then?" so at least you will know either way.
    Good Luck!

    Don't bother yourself with her. Plenty more girls out there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 596 ✭✭✭35notout


    we need more info. Have you known her long? Where were you when you asked? When was this?

    How did you ask her - face to face or on phone?

    Info please......

    Apparently she is going to another country in a few days for a wedding and will tell me after she gets back. She broke up with her boyfriend (they only went out for a month!) a few months back and I laid off to, you know, give her space. She says she is still getting over him and hopes to use this trip to do that. I have known this girl for a few months and i got on well with her and I have been wanting to ask her out since I first saw her. I finally did and well, the original post. I asked her after the original post what the deal was and she said she hopes to meet someone nice in Italy thats why she said she would answear later.

    Is she just trying to keep her options open?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,496 ✭✭✭LolaLuv


    Is she 15? Ditch her, there's no way that sort of a response will take you down a positive path.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 105 ✭✭tinkletoes


    She has no interest and is indirectly telling you so

    So basically she's not over her boyfriend but hoping to meet someone in Italy ? Contradiction.

    Sounds more like she's not really interested in you but may be keeping you as a back up in case some suave Italian doesn't sweep her off her feet.

    Move on man, you can do without this headwreck.

    A couple of billion women in the world and you're still engaging with this yahoo? Move on and leave her to it.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    How long's she going away to this other country for? You say a wedding, so three or four days, max? And she's hoping to meet someone? Sounds like she might have her eye on someone else or is just really, really desperate bonkers.

    Either way, I think you should text her back and say "No, actually, forget I mentioned it" or something. Let her know you won't be mucked about and go off and meet other people.

    she's a tool,

    tell her she doesnt sweat much for a fat bird if you see her again.

    It means she is immature and playing head games before even the first date.

    A decent girl that had any interest would have said yes when i get back from my holiday that would be nice.


    Do you think so little of yourself to hang around waiting on someone like that? If not then dont bother, when she gets back tell her she is too late. She obviously thinks she is all that, you didnt propose you just asked her for a bloody date.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 273 ✭✭anucksunamun


    wow she is kinda a bitch! i agree with whoever said ring her and say forget I mentioned it. If she agreed to go out with you now, you'd know she only did cause she had no better offer.. that sucks!! No-one deserves to be treated like you have been. Shes a user, and has been stringing you along using the excuse of a one month 'relationship'... ONE MONTH!! thats ridiculous, shes seriously immature, ya deserve better!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Thanks a lot everyone :)

    I know I shouldn't bother with her now but its hard to not think about it to be honest. Whats wrong with me? Oh well....

    Nothing wrong with you, you sound like a nice guy, you like her, you asked her out.

    People dont seem to get that its not what other people think it means but what it means to you and how it makes YOU feel thats important. Some other Joe could come on and say that sounds like a challenge and i am all up for that. But at the end of the day its how you feel about it that matters.

    Some people just like to play games, it can work for a while sometimes as some people want what they cant have, or like a challenge. But most relationships that start off with game playing continue on the same road and people get hurt. Its not a good idea to mess with peoples heads.

    Mature people who like each other can be direct and straightforward and therefore honest and not make the other person play guessing games and ultimately have a much healthier secure relationship.

    i know you only wanted a date but just a tip for future reference :D
