I call that respecting a woman's decision. If OOP wants to play silly games then the correct answer is "Maybe".
There's a vast difference between a straight up no and opening a dialogue.
If I ask a girl out and she says sorry I have a boyfriend or sorry you're not my type or no thank you I'm just going to move on.
It's no skin off my back, thank you for letting me know before I waste of my time.
I just wish I had this same level of confidence in my teenage years as I do now.
Like you miss all of the shots that you don't take and I missed so many fucking shots.
I even had one girl laying on the bed next to me telling me about how she's had sex before and would like to try having sex again and I was like "well good luck with that, I mean, you're really pretty so you're probably not going to have any problems"
Oof
Yeah that one happened in my early teens, and so a part of me is glad I didn't because I definitely wasn't mature enough for that level of instant relationship and if it had not turned into a relationship I would have been completely destroyed, but there's another part of me that all these years later still regrets.
Ouch, she must have been frustrated after that. Hopefully next time she delivered her hint in the form of a question.
