Odunharry, I got you. They are friends you've known a while.

Women can be exasperating, bro, but they are weaker than us. That is why they have a natural tendency to hesitate. They need to know if they are safe with a man. So they test his patience. How much can he take before he gives up on them? How much really do they mean to him?

Sometimes this natural behavior is taken to ridiculous lengths but typically there is always some pause no matter how short for her to figure out how much she really means to you. That knowledge will help her figure out if it's safe for her to let herself go with you.
Nice and I like the fact that you understand where i am coming from also..

But some girls own too much..Atimes i hear guys say it took them months some even years before a girl say yes..
I believe even before you ask some girls out,they already know if they love you or not...Though for some it could take a while.

Women are not that easy to understand.

Lol!

You make us sound like wild animals in the jungle. That's the picture that readily comes to mind...kind of like the male peacock showing off his feathers cheesy

I'd rather use the word assess rather than hesitate. A lady usually knows almost immediately if a guy approaching her is a complete no-no and will therefore not need to hesitate.

However, if she feels he might get a "look in" a.k.a chance with her, she then decides to weigh him up and see if he'll stand the test assuming she decides to put him through it. It's at this point that she's assessing him as a potential suitor and whether he's got the basic criteria she's looking for.

Being infatuated with someone is usually preceded with intense feelings of longing. Just goes to prove my point.
but i know it isnt infatuation

What is love then?

Certainly not what he's described so far.

One might even be in love with someone without even realising it. There's a lot more I can add to this, but I'd rather hear what he thinks it is.

You've also gotta admit some ladies do this to keep their options open while deciding on their pick of the pack. Should that guy they like intensely eventually turn them down, they can then gladly warm up to the long-suffering suitor who has assured them of marriage.

I agree with you to a point, but let's not go as far as mentioning marriage yet. Way too early.

Sometimes, if a woman / girl knows that the guy approaching her is a no-no, she might decide to play along with him, knowing nothing will ever come out of it. In this case, she's simply toying with him for the fun of it.

A lot of ladies are guilty of this at some point. I know I have been too.

Yes I understand, bro. I'm a red-blooded man too and I've had my share of frustration.

Yes, some women take years. Men are built hard enough to withstand the stress too.

It's not really a question of how they feel about you. It's more about whether it is safe for them to go with those feelings or not. Women are weaker than men. And living at such close quarters with a man of superior physical strength and real cruelty is a real danger for women to avoid. So they have a natural impulse to figure out whether you're safe to trust or not.

I don't think you should waste your time trying to understand them. Just be there for them if you care that much. Carry their weight and let them know that you want to keep doing that. It's up to you to decide how long you want to endure their hesitation. I do have a limit for myself but it has nothing to do with time sha.
