    Great advice man.

    Btw, have you guys seen this guy? Dude showed up with flowers and cookies and well...became a meme.

    Don't show up at her door step man. That's only worth it if you're already hitting it.

    I see DaDa and i kinda believe that actually worked when he was a young cat dating. Makes you wonder just how much women have changed over the decades in terms of what they like in men and dating.

    It's just funny how everyone's experiences with women jades them when it comes to giving advice. Every girl is different, and the way she handles her business is going to be different. She's not some bank vault that you have to crack....chances are, if she said she was sick, she probably was. I'm quite certain that over the past 3 weeks, every single person in the city of Houston has been sick. There's definitely a bug going around, and she probably caught it. Why think the worst of somebody before you even know them??

    If she wants to hang out with you once she's better, she'll text you. Once she does that, text her back with something funny, and tell her you're glad she's feeling better. Once you guys get a good back and forth going for a little bit, tell her you'll call her sometime during the week, and that's when you can plan something out. On the flip side, if she doesn't text you back, then forget about the whole thing. Also, whoever told you to tell her that you were busy next week is a bad, bad person. Lol.

    There are different ways to go about this thing. There's no absolute approach contrary to what what what what.. and macalu are trying to convey. macalu's works only if you are in the situation Stone Cold Hakeem describes.

    Realist how much do you care about getting this girl? IF it is a lot then I think you should listen to what what has been saying (not because I think he knows all about it) but because he is right in saying you shouldn't run away scared at the first sign of rejection. I've seen a friend who is George Contanza in a nutshell (Hi my name is George, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents, -fat and bald and...-) getting girls after being unfazed by initial rejection. As long as you keep your cool around her you have a shot. If it's just a casual thing then forget about it, if she matters don't let it go that easy.

    I've come to the conclusion that Clutchfans is a bad place to ask for dating advice.

    I don't have the patience to read through 9 pages. Has he burned down her house yet or what?

    lol, so there has been no new developments. I'll try to call her again in a couple weeks. She will make up an excuse for a third time and then I'll be done with her, but I don't really care considering she explicitly said yes already I'm going to make her say no for once. I don't care how obvious or whatever she's making it that she doesn't want to see me.

    And if I annoy her then good, that's what she gets for wasting my own time by saying yes and then dodging etc.

    you should probably send her a funny message, something to make her laugh. this would show that you aren't even thinking about her making an excuse. you definitely don't want to end the last conversation when she sad she was sick and wait to weeks and then bring up the date again. you should approach this next 2 weeks as a get to know her phase and just have causal banter by and forth. it's sort of a way to release the tension and lighting the mood (make yourself approachable.)

    this whole idea of MAKING her say know is a self-fulfilling prophesy. don't take your own self out of the game. by constantly gearing the conversation toward when will i get a date, you are just making her talking to you about anything else more difficult because she knows THAT will be the only thing you are interested in talking about. your goal should be to make her laugh with light-hearted conversation. BELIEVE ME, she HASNT forgot about the date, and you don't have to remind her about it.

    so, now you are going to call her to spite her, in somewhat of a confrontation, while before you were going to because you still had faith.

    you know what happens when you lose faith...the word is "jaded." Sorry, the jaded ones spoke up and touched you in this thread. But skip over the semi-confrontational, insincere phone call you are talking about. Don't be like the friendszone guy who eventually gets mad at the girl when she starts dating again, and he finally realizes he isn't getting any. And never realized it was he who was living a lie.

    Rise above. Don't be the guy who says, "And if I annoy her, then good. That's what she gets." Don't live a lie like she deserves being annoyed by a kid who got hurt, by his own hope and nothing more.

    i got pwd by writing one long message from my head and then not proofreading it.

    sad = said
    know = no

    You know how many times Henry Ford failed in making the light bulb? Probably like 10,000 times. The light bulb was created on the 10,001 time. If Thomas Edison had never created the light bulb, you would be sitting in a dark hut back in Africa.

    Let this be a lesson for you in never giving up.
