do women like persistent men

[petewills85]

So the last 4 dates i have went on (that wasn't flaked, actual dates) have been with women that i have really had to work on to go on a date.

Like they aren't sure or whatever but I keep talking and asking and we go

They will always say something along the lines of "You're so persuasive" and I'll say something back like "Is that bad?" or "I don't see that as a bad thing"

usually they shoot back with a text saying "Actually it's nice to have that for once" or "nah it's not a bad thing"

so do women really like men who are persuasive?

i always thought ask once and if they say no give up

thoughts?

Back in my dating days, I didn't like persistent men. If I said "no, I'm (insert whatever reason)", I meant "no". So I see persistence as a lack of respect for my position.

Though of course not all women are the same.

I think women only like persistence if they like the man who is doing it.

Why does a man have to push for a date if the woman already likes him?

if a girl says no i give up. if she says "well im busy with work" or "if we talk more sure" then ill be a bit more persistent.

if she says no then i give up

Eh, I don't know.... maybe it's just me. I was completely burned out on dating and sick of men, and then some man kept bugging me, asking me out, asking if I changed my mind, etc... not constantly, just every couple of weeks. (I liked him, but genuinely felt I needed a break so I would avoid becoming bitter.)

Anyway, I eventually said yes, and now we are dating.

But I *do* refer to him as my stalker. lol
