So the past couple of weeks I was seeing this girl whom I really like. I thought the dates went well, mostly dinner, movies, hanging out, etc. The other day she tells me she doesn't see herself being in a romantic relationship with me. Seemed a little too soon to make that conclusion, we'd only had 3 or 4 dates under us. Should I try to convince her otherwise? Is there a way to do that? If the dates had been crumby I would understand and not be as unwilling to accept my fate, but I had a great time and thought she did, too. Should I try to find out why she feels that way? I think I took it pretty well when she told me, but now it is sorta eating away at me. Anyways, sorry for another "help me with girls!" thread, but I appreciate any insights you guys and gals may have.
Sorry, another dating advice thread
3 to 4 dates seems like enough to me. Go ahead and ask why she feels like that but don't push it and it sounds like it's done and you should move on. The last thing you should do is to spam her with questions as to what's wrong and stuff. Just start looking at other prospects.......that's what I would do at least.
Sounds like the chemistry isn't there. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. I'd pack up and move on. Unless you're really set on her. In which case, persist.
I think it would be okay for you to ask why she's not into you ("did I do something to upset you? Just a chemistry thing?"), but she's made her decision and trying to change her mind would just reflect badly on you. There are more ladies out there! Sometimes people don't mutually or romantically click with each other, it's not big deal.
Even if you convinced her to go out with you again, it would only prolong the inevitable and make the pain worse. I've seen long-term relationships do that, and it never ends well, let alone 4 dates (which is definitely enough time). There's no way you're going to change her mind, and she probably didn't think the dates were as great as you did (obviously).
as for the op you could try asking why she thinks this way and try to fix it, or just take it as advice for the next girl though fixing would be better. If all fails report back and GB might have some absurd resolutions to try and steel her hart back
I appreciate all the replys. I think the thing that threw me off the most is that she was so active in talking to me and finding time to hangout. I initiated the first date, but two days later she invited me over for dinner. Normally I would be able to tell right away if she wasn't into me. I suppose it might just be her friendly nature. I do want to ask why she didn't want to pursue anything just for my own edification, but I don't want to be confrontational about it.
As for 3-4 dates being enough time to know, I guess that is true, but I think I'm kind of a hard guy to get to know. My relationships in the past have been a result of getting to know each other for a while and then dating. I don't have this luxury with her. Anyways, thanks again.
You could ask why she feels that way I guess....but ultimately, you're gonna wanna move on. When a girl says that is usually means she's not interested. Persistence sometimes SOMETIMES SOOOOOMETIMES (rarely) can change things but 99.9999999% of the time...don't bother.
If she sees you're cool and you move on and start hangin with other girls an stuff she may start to become interested again. Cause girls are crazy like that.
Not really much you can do. 4 dates is plenty for anyone to realize they don't like someone. Hell, I usually know whether or not I want to pursue a woman after the first date, and women are probably the same way. You could go ahead and ask her what exactly she didn't like about you though, for future reference, but it's most likely nothing in particular. Unless you're a socially awkward clingy creeper that is.
Not trying to get too personal, but did you sleep together on the last date?
It sounds like she was into you and then something changed, sexual chemistry can be one of the main reasons for a good thing to cool off, especially if you didn't do something dramatically dickish.
im just wondering if theres a specific thread for this cause i think i need some advice to be honest. call me what u will for asking advice on a gaming forum but my best friend's in Australia and the only friends that i trust are pretty close to the girl and friends that im pretty close to dont take me too seriously so yeahhhh...
Stalk her for three months. Then climb through her window while she's sleeping and cook her breakfast in bed before work.
Be sure to bring flowers or it will not work! Good luck!
Not trying to belabour the point, but your description makes it sound more like there was a turning point to me.
Regardless, I would definitely ask her, although bear in mind that that question is a lot easier to ask if you arent planning on staying friends in the sense of regularly socialising. Nothing puts the crimp in a new friendship like asking why you guys didn't work out.
I think I have to ask at this point. We wouldn't see each other much without actively trying, so I doubt there will be a lot of interaction even if we did stay friends.

There is actually some good advice in the video, I'm surprised."Let Mac Lethal solve all your problems."

Nice job being the first reply, too. :)
Sometimes some people just have an idea of what their lives should be and if you've said you see your life as A she might have figured that it's not fit with her plans for B. My ex girlfriend dumped me for that very reason, and we were together for a few months. But one night she called me and explained that she just didn't see it working out because we were heading in different directions and even though feelings were there, she didn't want to compromise her future because of me and how my life looked like at the time, and in retrospect I quite respect her decision to stay true to herself.
And sometimes, it just doesn't click past 'friendship'.
