What the heck is a "maybe"? (interested, respect, people)

[he's so hott]

Let's say that you ask someone out for a Friday or Sat night and you get a response of "Maybe. Depends on work.". But the person doesn't work nights nor do they do any on-call sort of job. But the person does take work home and does extra work at home. But who would do such a thing on a Friday or Sat night?

How would you take that?

I would take it as the person is blowing me off and I wouldn't bother to ask any more.

I would take it in the similar way. He/she is keeping you as a second option if the first one doesn't work out.

The ball is in his court and he's enjoying that. If he passes the ball back to you then go with it. His answer doesn't mean anything, but i'd respect that it's his turn to make a move.

Yeah if they really wanted you they'd keep Friday or Saturday open for you. Its okie...we've all been there Move on to the next prospective date

Does this answer your question?

[smel]

This person is NOT interested in you. No one says maybe to someone they really want to go out with.

[evansda]

sometimes people appeal to others by sounding disinterested, while in fact being interested

[mir86]

when it comes to men, maybe=no

[CaliTerp07]

If the person was really interested, the work would be put on the back burner for one night.
