When a man pursues a woman, one thing is crucial: knowing when to cut your losses.
Initially, we may not know much about this woman or if she’ll reciprocate our advances. But after pursuing her for a while, we can usually tell. However, some men refuse to let go at this point.
If there truly isn’t a chance, we must let go. When a woman acts like this towards you, she’s actually rejecting you. No matter how much you like her, it’s best to stop pursuing her.
She accepts all your efforts but doesn’t respond in kind. Men must remember: a woman who likes you will be willing to accept your pursuit and respond appropriately after a while.
What’s an appropriate response? For instance, if you put in effort, she’ll reciprocate equally. It’s a balance of give and take. Realistically, you buy her a milk tea, she treats you to a movie. It’s a two-way street, a positive response. Women are putting in effort too. This kind of scenario is the appropriate response.
If a woman only takes and never gives back, not even buying a milk tea for you, then she’s rejecting your pursuit. She simply isn’t interested in you. Men should have self-awareness in such situations.
When this kind of situation arises, it’s a clear signal. No matter how much you like this girl, in such cases, you just have to let go.
The response she gives you is just a brush-off.
Some women may not show directly that they’re not interested in you. But the response they give you is just a brush-off.
How to understand this? For example, you send a long message while chatting, and the woman replies with just a few words, basic phrases, or sometimes doesn’t reply at all, or just sends an emoji. You send a lot of messages, but she doesn’t engage much with you.
This situation is pretty clear. She’s not even willing to chat with you.
Some men, at this point, might get sentimental. They might write long texts asking the woman if they did something wrong.
In reality, you didn’t do anything wrong. You just failed to realize the woman’s rejection.
In such situations, men shouldn’t be too suspicious but should decisively let go. The woman’s actions have already made things clear. You need to be self-aware.
If you can’t see this, it just means your emotional intelligence in relationships is low.
During dates, she always maintains a distance from you.
Some men might think that if a woman agrees to go on a date with them, there’s still a chance. But it’s not always the case.
For example, some women agree to go on a date with you just to get a free meal or drinks, and sometimes they might even ask you to buy things for them. Their goal is to get what they want.
How can you tell? A clear sign is if after a few dates, you should be at a point where you could hold her hand or she would naturally link arms with you while walking. If a woman always maintains a distance from you, and every time you try to get close, she becomes wary, then she’s rejecting you. You don’t need to continue pursuing someone like that.
Such women have ulterior motives. Their aim is simply to gain material things.
For men, don’t become a backup in such situations. If your efforts don’t win her heart, then it’s time to accept reality.
She treats other pursuers well but ignores you.
Sometimes, it’s useful to make a comparison.
After all, some women have multiple men pursuing them. This actually shows that your taste isn’t bad. It means women find you likeable.
At this point, you can make a comparison.
If a woman is cold towards you but treats other pursuers warmly, it’s a clear differential treatment. Don’t think she’s testing you.
Some men might believe that a woman is testing them by being cold. But in reality, women are often just telling you to stop pursuing them. They have better options.
Men can figure this out by comparing themselves to other pursuers. If you lack in various aspects, it might be time to face the truth.
The key to a man pursuing a woman lies in observing her actions and reactions.
A woman’s actual response to you is crucial. We need to observe the details of our interactions. Even if some women are good at pretending, if she’s rejecting you, it will eventually show.
Once you understand this situation, don’t make excuses for the woman. It’s time to cut your losses. If she’s gently rejecting you, and you continue, that’s just acting like a lapdog.
When pursuing women, men should avoid getting stuck in such situations. Knowing when to cut your losses is the best choice.
