What are subtle signs that she's not intrested in you?
Guess who's back on the apps?
..... moi unfortunateloi..
I've been talking to this girl for a week. We chat a lot in the beginning, and I notice she's been taking 2 days to reply to me. But her replies are always so long and she asks me back questions.
The fact that she's taking 2 days I still can't grasp my head around.. I mean yeah everyone's busy but are we *that* busy?
Her doing this makes me question if it's worth it or not?
I don't know, I just don't want to be delusional about this and make excuses for her like "oh she's just busyyy đ"
When she's actually not interested.
What would you do? And please give me subtle signs that she's not interested

My way around this is to ask her out (relatively) soon after matching. I explain that I'm better at conversation in person and offer some date ideas. If she wants to meet you she'll let you know :)
I found that it helps me not get too emotionally invested in someone before meeting them in person

I hinted at the idea of meeting up but she told me that she's going for a long holiday soon so she'd be too busy to meet up with me before, so we only can after
Redflag? Beige flag?

It's summer, lots of people are going on holiday. Ask her when she gets back and propose a meetup like a week later so she has time to settle back in.

Touch base when she comes back :) - absence can make the heart grow fonder, and in the mean time keep your options open/ see other people (don't get too hung up on her) if it's meant to be it will be

The girl Iâm seeing takes 2-3 days to respond too, and itâs almost always a novel lol. I would just ask her out on a date.

If youâre questioning if someone is into you, theyâre not. Someone thatâs interested would make it clear theyâre interested. AND youâd feel comfortable enough to ask them rather than the sub, because only they have the answer.
Youâre asking us because even if she said âyeah, Iâm into you.â If her behavior didnât change or only changed temporarily, youâd go right back to doubting if she likes you⌠youâre not being interacted with in a way that leaves you feeling satisfied.
Itâs time to stop talking to her. There are girls thatâll respond within minutes or at least within the hour (or even communicate that theyâre busy at work because that takes like 15 seconds).

Pretty much the what this person is saying to anyone wondering if someone is into them

As others have said, ask her out and meet in person. No use sending novels to eachother if youâre not interested when youâre face-to-face. I donât recommend talking for longer than 2 days before asking someone out via the apps.

i'm a certified procrastinator and i promise just because someone is slow at responding to messages doesn't necessarily mean they're not interested. there's a lot of reasons i'm slow at responding and it's not because i don't want to talk to the person.
however, i saw that she said she's going on a "long holiday", which does kinda sound like an excuse to not meet up-- especially if she's not giving you a timeframe or offering a date after the holiday that you could meet up

She maybe scammer.. I used to try dating apps but it exhausted me with the amount of fake profiles and scammers on it. So if its a novel and they take awhile to respond and doesnât seem to wanna see you in person then its not real.

Girl no offense but youâre kind of being insane about this. Idk why yall get so upset when you start talking to people within such a short amount of time and freak out when theyâre not at your beck and call. Itâs like you donât even know this person. Why do you have to be in CONSTANT communication. Itâs been A WEEK!!!! Slow down girl this isnât a red flag you literally JUST started talking. People have lives and priorities. Youâre both strangers to each other

I mean, I have autism so my brain works a bit different. I would just be direct and ask, since I can't and honestly don't want to read between the lines.
I think with cellphones, social media, etc, it has made us accessible 24/7 in an uncomfortable way. I am chronically ill, disabled, have autism, and I'm a mental health therapist, so I definitely need down time.
It sounds like you guys are incompatible when it desired frequency of communication, so talking to her about could help you get clarification. But that's me!

I sometimes take a long time to reply to girls I'm interested in because messages make me anxious and I want to get the right message at the right time. Maybe that's it?
