Arrggh, Why cant men take a hint!!

Also, no offence, but maybe he doesn't WANT to go with you?
I've done the same thing before when asked to go somewhere with a girl and not wanted to - it's a less embarrasing/direct way of putting them down! I.e. just avoid the question, and they will leave you alone.

Maybe, ironically, it's YOU who isn't getting the hint?

:)
 
why can't woman just say what they mean !! :rolleyes:

Just say 'with me' and don't leave it open to interpretation. He may think you mean that but is unsure and doesn't want to make a prat of himself.
 
Cobra maybe your right, like I said id kinda just like to get to know him a bit better from my point of view. Why all the other txts then asking how I am etc?
(not being big headed here, am genuinely interested)
 
Your intention seemed blatently obvious to me. He may not actually be interested. If he did misunderstand, then he's a moron and probably best avoided.
 
With this post borne from the previous thread about women not saying what they mean, the bigger question is "should men and women communicate more effectively?". I've spent a lifetime ignoring my mother and sisters so if it comes to a hint from a girl it's going to whizz by me like a Porsche. This actually suits me as if I was interested I'd be listening and paying attention, so would 'get it'. If not then I won't.

Works a treat for me :D

In this case, emotion and context doesn't effectively reach its recipient due to the medium. The amount of forum posts that get taken the wrong way due to the lack of :p or ;) is astonishing. If you're using communique then you'll need to express it differently. Try "want to go to the game with me this weekend? you never know, you might get lucky!". It gets to the point and is also easy to call a joke if it back fires on you.
 
The question you asked sounds pretty straight forward to me, not really much of a hint, I can't see how it could be misinterpreted. If he's come back with an reply like that he's ether completely stupid or doesn't want to go with you. Ask him again just to make sure it's not the former. Hope he figures it out this time :)
 
From initial post I would have said he was subtely dodging your question, however the fact he texts you every other day leads me to believe he is interested and either misread your text or is scared of misinterpretting your "hints"

Thats exactly what I thought, and what I would be like.

I HATE looking a *** when I misread hints.

Ive done that a few times, its not a great place to be. :eek::eek:
He probally doesnt want to mess it up, as he does seem to show an intrest in you.
 
Unless he really *does* like you, but he is scared you might not be, so doesn't want to blow it by reacting to a hint as subtle as yours. If you added "with me" at the end, he might have gone for it.

Either that or he's thick, or he's straightaway twigged and he's not interested.
 
Try phoning him and be strait forward its much easier, he could say no but you will never know until you ask. ;)

I thought I would do one to stick up for us girls. As the title says, why cant men take a hint?
Ok so im single, and ive got this bloke I know, who I would simply like to spend a bit more time getting to know, so I sent him a txt yesterday which said

"I know its a week away, but do you want to go to the reserves game next Wednesday with me" (for our local footy team)

Why cant he take the hint and see that I was asking him if we could go together!?!??!
Arrrrrrggghhhh!!!

If you've already read a thread enlightening you on how women annoyingly make things overly cryptic then why, oh why did you only hint about going out rather than blatantly asking him? I asked a girl out for a meal the other day and instead of saying "i don't suppose you'd fancy a meal", i said "i'm going into town tomorrow, i'd love to meet you somewhere for a meal, you can even pick the place".

You just make life harder for yourself.
