She told you what she wants. Why don't you believe her?

She said she can’t commit to anyone at this moment, but herself and her career.

Is there a way to swoop her up and tell her to give it a shot?
No. Move on.

No. She's telling you a couple of things, and doing it nicely.


1) She is in no place for a relationship at the moment. She wants to focus on career.



2) She's telling you that she likes you a lot.





I'm begging you here. No full court press. Patience is really important. In fact, the best thing you could do in this situation is to date around. Not only will it take your mind off this woman, but it might actually spur her to commit to you. Either way, anything is better than trying to force this woman into a relationship for which she is not mentally prepared.

No. She will be ready for you when she hits the wall. Hopefully for her, you will be waiting for the leftovers.

No.

According to your OP, you two have been dating for a few months now, so she's already given you a "shot" and decided that you weren't for her.

Accept her decision and move on.

She's just trying to let you down easy. If someone thinks you're the right person for them, they will make it the right time.

If you gave her the tingles, she'd find time for you. I'll bet she has lots of available time for the guys that do.


Don't be the simp that takes her out to dinner to "catch up", changes her oil, or paints her bedroom (to cover all the palm-prints on her wall).


Best response to her - "I'd like to, but I just started seeing someone and it is going pretty well".


NEXT.

its Just another form of “it’s not you it’s me”
Don’t wait around for them, they won’t for you.

Nope. She gave you a BS line to get rid of you and potentially keep you hooked. Move on and forget her.
