Gentlemen, ever ask a woman out to get a response like this?

Would you go along with this with a, "well, at least I get some face time with her, and just wait and see what happens?"

Why would a guy go along with that?

IMO, someone you don’t know is not your friend, and if she doesn’t want to date you, there is nothing there for a guy whose intentions are for romance.

Um...not all dates are between 2 complete strangers, right?

Sure. Your response should always be, "Hey, that's really nice of you." And then never bother her again. Or, if she's all that, just check in with her in another six months.



She's saying that she doesn't like you that way. Rather than stay on the margins of her awareness like some desperate nitwit, it's far better for you to walk away politely and with class.



Why? Because she might have a change of heart later on.

Nope, not here for it. I’m not wasting time and money on that dynamic, when I’ve been clear I want more than friendship. She can find another fool to buy her dinner because I’m not the one.

No, and you shouldn't either, it's so not worth it.

No, that would be deceptive.

Is this "friends" as in "Friends with benefits"?

I'm not saying you never get dates, but if a man wanted a handbook on how to appear interested in dating but mostly avoid actually connecting with anyone, I'd recommend your post history.

You make it much harder than it needs to be by looking for angles and hidden meanings. Straight, honest interest often works, and if it doesn't you've done no harm.
