She's not interested and she's trying to let you down gently. Sorry.
Set up some dates with the others that you're interested in.

Err i don't think she wants a second date and is being polite. She should be direct. If she was keen she would make time I promise you.
stop asking!

yeah i thought the same tbh so i stopped messaging her but she messages me ?

Right, so when she says no when you ask her out, because she's "busy", does she say something like : "I'm busy on Sunday afternoon mucking out the horses, but I'm free on...." ie giving you an alternative time when she's available?
If she doesn't, believe me, she's not interested in going on another date and she's just enjoying the attention she gets when she messages you.

Go on dates with women who say yes - such as those others that you have on your radar.

If this one's not keen to see you again, then she's not keen to see you again.

The messages don't mean much, they're just keeping you on hold without anything real materialising. Focus on what IS real. Such as real dates with women who say yes to your offers of a date: go make such an offer to another woman.

yeah no alternative ,thanks for your advice :) just confirmed my thoughts

"provisionally" booked?

Now, don't you go treating people as shoddily as this woman has just treated you!

Either you're interested in spending time with someone, or you're not. Don't treat people like disposable options. You didn't like it when this woman did it to you, did you?

0121bcfc · 05/03/2015 19:45

update,she has messaged me and meeting Saturday ,she has said sorry for being distant and will improve :))
