My mistake was taking them at their word & assuming they really were busy & I would ask again suggesting other days & times. I actually did not realize it was a standard brush-off till after I joined this forum when I was in my mid 20s :wall: It's too bad cotillions were not a thing in my area when I was a kid.

Its too bad the internet wasn't a think when I was a kid. I could have learned so much more that would have saved me a lot of trouble and heartache.

Yeah, a claim that a woman is busy is often a way for a woman to politely decline a man's advancements in whatever he is proposing, even if it just her time that he is asking for.

A person - any person, will likely make time for you around their schedule if they want to spend time with the person requesting their time. If they don't, well then, you'll get the verbal equivalent of the busy dialling tone. :lol:

"No I'm sorry I can't go out that night. I'm washing my hair.

If they decline, I'd say something like "All good, whenever you're free let me know". Then stop contacting them, and just move on and talk to other girls.

Leave the ball in their court. If they reach out to you, cool. If not, keep moving on.

Great advice :wtg: I never thought that during the moment & looking back I wish I had for both our sakes. Maybe my mental processing is too slow, especially when I'm feeling anxious & hurt about being rejected. I'm probably lucky that I never got in trouble for harssement :wink:
