WELLNESS TRAVEL FASHION FOOD AN INDIRECT NO, IS STILL A NO. SO DON’T PUSH IT

BH, you make a good point. You are using the Double Negative Theory as proposed by Dr Radhakrisha Swamy in 1937, on a cool September evening. He proposed that if you said no twice, it no longer meant no. It now meant both yes and no. He based this on the fact that his girlfriend said no to his proposal many times, but he ignored this, and made sure they got married. It worked against him in the subsequent divorce, where he kept saying no, but she went ahead with it anyway. In your case, however I feel she’s just letting you down gently. Her indirect no, is still a no. “What do girls mean, when they say what they say?” Is a question that’s not been answered by any philosopher till date. Plato failed his 10th standard exam in Athens, because he left this question blank on his answer sheet. Now, lets examine her look of confusion. If her lips were pointing upward, then she probably doesn’t think of you in that way. If her lips were pointing to her shoes, she was just caught off guard and may entertain you further. However, she then said she couldn’t reciprocate, because she was still in pain. Now, that’s not good sign. That means she’s already looking for excuses to run away from you. Then she promises to maybe give you a chance in the future. This means you are back in the game, or maybe she’s just stalling. N.D.Plato and I are as confused as you. I think you need to try a more indirect approach, and not rush her. PK, my god man, are you running a temperature? Are you not paying attention to the world at large? Are you still on Planet Earth, my friend? This is the digital age. Repeated ignoring of messages, is a sign of disinterest, as well as disrespect. Sparta and Athens went to war over Sparta ignoring one Athenian message. A simple one which requested Sparta to Go-Green for a week! And those messages were hand delivered. As the internet was only invented about 40 years later, by the Persians. Friendly in person counts for little, if she doesn’t respond to your messaging at all. No harm in asking her out in person though, to put your mind at rest. But, please don’t expect too much. AG, at last a romantic, with some sense of timing. I would give you a cash prize. But after ‘demonetisation’, it would be a little difficult. If she’s shy, you need to start gentle and slow, like a crab crossing the road. Except don’t talk to her while moving sideways. I would suggest no ‘feelings’ talk, as yet. Just get to know her and het her to chat a bit. Try talking only about her subjects, and things like that. Let her get to know you.
