I met a girl 3 weeks ago on a dating app and was pretty surprised cause i wasnt really expecting anyone to even be interested in me. I had actually seen her a couple of times at college too so that made me feel better that it wasnt a spam account or whatever. We had a couple of good conversations over the first week and then I asked if she would want to meet sometime. I was really excited when she said yes and I asked her if she wanted to meet that Friday. For some reason she didnt respond so a few days later I asked again in case she didnt see my message. She still didnt respond and it has been almost 2 weeks now. I dont wanna make her think I am clingy or dependent so I havent messaged her since. Seeing as she is the only girl to show an interest in me I am hoping to try again but I dont know if I should.

What the hell has she been doing to you, ghosting for two weeks? She needs to be jailed for making you spend your precious time and energy on nothing. She had to say to you "no" before being silent instead of saying "yes"
Don't try again, even if she contacts you later don't respond her. IMO she's a typical selfish b***h.
So are you gonna be mad at me because I am mad at her..don't do that please..She's a mean girl I can see that.

8O Drawyers got some fangs

Yeah, I'd probably just let it go at this point. Very doubtful that she's still interested

Well it is certainly possible something could have come up...and she still intends to get back in contact. It could also be she wasn't really all that interested but hard to say either way. I know sometimes I've taken a while to respond to an initial message before mostly because I get side tracked, busy or simply am not online...or maybe I don't know what to say/how I want to proceed so I try and work that out and then come back to it when I remember.

But not sure what to think if they have responded positively and now you haven't heard anything else from them.

If someone who I said clearly "no" keeps trying to contact me, I ignore him for his sake as he needs to learn how to let a woman go. But I think a person should remind themselves more seriously that if he/she didn't answer clearly that could cause someone's life ruin completely forcing him/herself consuming inside. How could a person do that to another? At least for me that's something like killing someone.

I can see you sending a second message just to make sure she got it, but a third is going to look like you're desperate.

On dating sites, girls receive like hundred of messages everyday, because girls way outnumber guys there (don't believe what dating sites claim, they lie and they count inactive users too) - so never take anything for granted even if the girl says yes.

Between that short period of her Yes and the time you asked her about the time, she would have received a lot of other offers- and probably picked a guy she perceives better, and no, she won't tell you, she would just ignore you.

That's the main problem of dating sites, a girl always has the upper hand - because while you might have only one girl or very few showing interest in you, she always has way more than you.

Basically, online dating is a waste of time for males.

^^
Another one of the main problems with dating sites is that everybody thinks that they're hot-and-desirable(although semi-ugly women get away with this delusion). Probably true if they're on there in the first place.

The men must be extremely ugly then since they are on the dating site and still not getting hardly any responses.

Average becomes extremely ugly if you have 10000 options to pick from :P.

This is not necessarily true, as Boo said.

That is a lot of reading into a nonexistent relationship. 8O

When you are in the early stages of dating, you don't want to hinge everything on one girl. Branch out and pursue all your options. If you found one, there are sure to be more to come. :)

What I don't understand is when she already knew that he's waiting for her answer, why she just didn't respond him..why did she make him wait unnecessarily. I couldn't do that because I respect the other's life. The least thing I want is to be a causer of ruining someone's even most trivial routines. In my eyes it's highly possible that she already knew how much he liked her but still she thought it's okay with him being tortured for two weeks. I would never do that regardless which stage the relationship is in.

I would message her again. Ask her if she wants to get together in a nice way.

Or maybe you'll be lucky to see her in college again. If so, I would just talk to her like you've been talking to her.
