i wanna know

September 14 2010

i dont mind making all the moves if i know a guy is busy or shy i dont mind being the one to ring first or say hi on msn or email him as long as i know where i stand and thats what he wants from me but when do you say enough...when do you stand back and say ok now its up to you i dont believe it should all be up to the man but there has to come a time when you stop doing everything and expect him to make the first call or sms even though you know he is busy...doesnt there? roxxy

    I've often asked myself that very same question. Feedback from my male mates is neither hell nor highwater would keep them out of regular contact with a woman they are really interested in. Give and take...50/50.

    ...it's when you stand back, that you actually see the situation for what it really is. "Busy" is both an illusion and a reality...think about it. Women are magnificent at waiting! We wait and we wait and we wait....what for??? For our fellow men to become "un-busy" enough to give us some time? (oh yes....it can go both ways, but I am not a man so can only speak from a womans point of view ;p). We fear the label of "nagging", which when you look at it, is simply just one-way communication. Stop the co-dependency. Time for women to stop waiting! Responding to the situation is waaay better than reacting. Hugs Jx

    From one males POV. Sometimes us guys don't do subtle hints, lots of us, me included just miss them, perhaps he thinks your just engaging in harmeless flirtation or being friendly.Though if you have made it patently obvious (by guy standards not girl standards) that you are interested and he is dodging you, then i think its safe to assume that he is just not that into you.Test the water.......back off and see if he chases.I think on Rhp its a little easier for guys to test by checking the girls profile, and if you don't match their criterior its an easy assumption to make that its just friendly flirtation.  Then again assumptions are often the mother of all fuck ups!Mz J's feedback is spot on!Cheers Nev

    Ok enough is enough....you get along well, see each other regularly and then nothing... help oh wise one Nev...babe whats a girl to think??? he responds to texts...responds to msn messages but doesnt initate first contact like he used to??? (or she used to surely girls have done this too) so whats a person supposed to think?? Do I still make the first move or do I wait and see 'how into me he is' by waiting for him to initiate contact??? And this after constant contact....I know its confusing... Awaiting the sages response Kisses Focus

    Is this the guy from the email? How often do you think he should get in touch, what does he think is reasonable....are you just beating him to the punch.I can recall getting into trouble with a woman because i called her each night, she reckoned every couple of days was plenty, so i took that on board and yep these days i am comfortable with every 2 or 3 days.Sweety i would adopt the wait and see approach, i know... easier said than done!If he comes a runnin you know he's into you, if not you know its done.Short of asking him if he is still keen, and that doesn't always work,  sometimes people will tell you whatever they think you want to hear to avoid a confrontation.Cheers Nev

    I think.......guys are hunters. If they are keen they will hunt, especially when all the signals are go go go!! I agree with Nev, as hard as it is, sit back and see if he chases you. Other than that, you could always just ask him how he feels.Fingers crossed for you.

    can't you just ask if he's keen or not and then agree on a set pattern of making contact if he is?

    i get what you are all saying and i agree i know for a fact this bloke is very busy (owns his own business) and at the moment he is sick and sore (just out of hospital)...plus i know he is shy, but we chat well.....i have asked him if he wants me to keep ringing and he tells me yes...i have even told him that normally i would have walked away by now and he pleaded that i dont do that...he asked i just give him time...he even told me he was being slack and was sorry but shit a girl has some self respect for christ sake...i feel im being annoying or a dumbarse, im just not sure which lol roxxy...to confused to care any more

    I think men are Hunters... and that book .. 'he's just not that into you' .. whilst not rocket sense.. sums it up beautifullly I wonder what it is that makes us hang in there though .. I know in a number of instances I have done so for way tooooo long .... but always find... If I had listened to my women's intuition .. I already knew it was wrong ... Perhaps listen to that ......

    I think thats probably all to accurate a lot of the time! Whether it be the people in it for a thrill.orPeople who have been hurt one to many times to trust agin.or People with impossible shopping lists and not posessed of the word compromise in their vocabulary.Cheers Nev

    I think maybe what you are doing is "taking charge" rather than walking away. That's a good thing - because then the door won't slam in your face. Heaps of hugs! Jx
