This is the crux of it. Easy come, easy go, at that age. Besides, who "becomes official" after just hanging out once? It was odd from the start.

If she wasnt interested, ill let you know or busy wouldn't be in her vocabulary. The reason why woman continue to do this is because men allow them to get away with it. They choose to just ignore the passive aggressive behavior, rather than just calling them out and giving them a piece of your mind. She's not interested, you have nothing to lose by telling her off, and by doing that maybe she will think twice and be more honest next time she meets a guy she has low interest in.

No, the reason women do this is that many men become even more hostile and abusive than you are in this post, if a woman says directly that she is not interested. They take it as an insult, or something that makes them lose face.

When it comes to interacting with men, intelligent women put their physical safety first, and politeness second.

Men, if you want women to be more direct, do the opposite of what Peter suggests. Be kind, polite, and understanding when they say no to you -- whether they say it directly or indirectly. Make it safe for them to be honest.

OK, but don't get mad if we can't correctly interpret indirect communication.

You're wrong. If women are really moral they should always do the right thing no matter of it may hurt the guys feelings. There will always be men whose ego will be too high and won't accept no for an answer. If that's the case their are other ways to make that guy leave you alone. It's much better than being dishonest, giving the man false hope and wasting not only his time but the woman's time as well. If the woman just said no, the sane guy would accept it and move on to other women. Most men understand that their are entry of fish in the sea. Just be direct, we would respect that. I have an attractive female friend who is on an online dating site. She usually just ignored men's messages. I told her to start responding back to those men and stating that you were not interested. The men who responded black were overly positive and respected her decision. Women who think like you are being influenced by way too many outside sources and forget about always doing the right thing.

Men start calling them out on passive aggressive behavior. Negative reinforcement is always more successful.
