Am very disappointed with men that reason this way. And I won't be surprised if op has another lady somewhere.

You know
With sincerity, I have never seen such stupid display of attraction except when Nigerian men. If it is not mutual, it isn't.

But they would rather drag it for the rest of their lives.

As for me, I take drastic measures.
I hate being nagged on decision which are wholly personal and subject to my sole discretion.

If these women are actually fronting, make it blunt to them. And all them to holla when they age ready. Easy peasy

I really don't have the luxury of time to wait when I am trying to be friends with her and she dare punishes my feelings with repulsive acts.

I will just let her be and move on; no sentiments. I can't stoop for a girl. I do always feel you can't be friends or lovers with everyone! I really don't fancy when a lady is forming for the universe. I prefer when friendship happens naturally like if we meet at workplace, within the neighbourhood, in groups and co.#NO TIME,MOVE ON....you may probably be missing out if she keeps delaying!
I feel you my guy. Seems we have same personality. NO TIME AT ALL. grin grin grin grin

All that's on my mind is how some guy I just met 2 weeks ago ll ask me to be his gf n I'll jump right in undecided. That's like first date stage, getting to know him stage.

Op, why do you think the "2 weeks" girls didn't last?

Anyhoo... she said she aint ready so if you don't want the friendship you can leave. no be by force...

It's amazing how guys on here are claiming "3 weeks" "no time at all" seriously? 3 weeks of knowing someone? Or 3 weeks of wooing? Like you knew her b4 the three weeks right? If not then that's just a cheap lie. Sighs...
Lol those quick ones are the ones who are only interested in 1 thing only. To chop and screw. If they are not making any progress then off to the next one

Money talks, bro
This trend is becoming annoying i swear,why do peeps like yiu believe money is all you need to get a girl? That is why most of you fall magas to girls since you cant but impress her with money and i think it is a sign of inferiority complex.Make enough money before putting up something like this again!

If I lov a girl n woo her 4 2long n she finally agreed, I would only get into her 2legs and dump her..

I've spin a lady wen she was a virgin and she was deflowered by anoda guy. I got her 7yrs leta.. My intention was to 2 marry her buh I couldn't n she was leta dumped by d guy.

So wen u woo a girl 4 too long u will loose interest in her. 3mnths is cool to woo a girl u lov buh a wk or less 4 a girl u wanna flirt wit.

I'm still targeting a lady 4 10yrs now n m yet to take my share of d national cake grin... I once loved her buh she wanted frnship while she was straffin sum guys around. wink

WORLDPEACE:

He has become a girl to you. And girls don't date fellow girls unless their lesbians. You will only want to date him when he is no longer your friend. Since he met you, you've probably dated four guys and he is still 'bestfriending'. And the friendship ends when you get married to someone you've known for only six months. You and him have not got the memo:
Boys and girls can't just be friends. Have you ever seen a tiger playing with a puppy?
May the lord open his eyes.


I say a big AMIN bro...d guy just need to wake up...cos she ain't going to be for him @ all in d end...lol.

I met this beautiful girl last year on a public bus and she decided to give me her number. She is 22 years and a final year student of a major university. We have been texting and calling back and forth for the past 2 months and she told me she is single. I have been trying to woo her to be my girlfriend for over 2 months but she insist on us just been friends and she don't want a relationship.

I really like this girl and would love to date. but I feel like maybe she don't want to date me so yesterday I told her we should end our friendship because if she feels that am not good enough to date her then we shouldnt remain friends. I really don't want to waste another month trying to win her heart and later find out that she end up with another guy.

My last 2 previous relationships too me less than 2 weeks to woo my previous girlfriends so I am kinda surprise that after 2 months of trying to win her over she still insist on not dating me. At first, I thought maybe she was playing hard to get but I think 2 months is long enough.

My questions to nairalanders is how long should a guy try to woo a girl before giving up and moving on?


Bro in this era of last days and anti-Christ.

YOU REALLY NEED JESUS CHRIST.

I agree with you that 2 months is a long time to woo a girl. This is why I decided to end our friendship and told her to stop calling and texting her. I think it takes a girl less than a day to decide if they would date a guy or not but some girls just like playing hard to get.

guy my friend blazzy woo a babe for 3years and she dey play with him head like say she go gree but at the tail end another friend of mine woo her in a week and she agreed. Lesson here is that if a girl is playing with your head for so long then just give up coz it will end up fruitless.

What is with the sense of entitlement y'all keep showing? Because you guys are friends automatically gives you a 5- star into her life.

What if you are really not good enough for her? When did it become a moral sin or crime not to date someone because the person is simply not good enough

She has her own aspirations, dreams and likes, if she thinks you do not fit into any , zoom off and let her be.

Have you also failed to consider the fact that maybe she doesn't like you in that manner. You can't threaten someone to like you, it is either she does or she doesn't. Don't sweat it

And You write as if you haven't ignored many women out there who stylishly showed interest but you ignore them because they are not good enough for you.

You cannot have it both ways

Her response was in good faith. If you look take it is as such and if you don't na your wahala be that

Am a Nigerian but I felt disappointed with the Op's mindset.

The thought that the lady is still very young is just enough reason to give it time.

What do some folks really want from a relationship?
Is it child's play?
have fun and move on at will …

What happens to building friendships with the hope of a blissful future …

Some men just don't get it when you tell them that you are not interested. You can say it straight to their face but you get those who think you are just playing hard too get and will continue to harass you.

Love is not by force. If a lady is interested in you, even if she takes her time trust me you will know.

Guys definition of wooing is, meet a girl today ask her out she does like she's hard to get and next, his meat rod is inside her. After that,they become strangers again. So question is, when u mean woo, are u wooing to keep her or wooing to make her woe unto a man... these days sum guys day make babes day suffer us good boys
You're very right too. Not the lady's fault at times. But it's always advisable to pay attention to their body language and see if she's giving you green light. If I see signs that she might be interested but probably need time, I might push further but if there is no green light, I bounce off immediately.

You see they will date for years (not court o), the relationship wouldn't be anything other than bf/gf.

When she is ready to get married, she will open a a thread on Nairaland to ask us some silly questions. By that time he has already found some other JJC who he would refer to as the perfect wife material

You know, most times, the problem is actually with the women(most of 'em), you hear them say they are not interested, whereas all they want, is the dude to chase further.

I can't entirely blame them though, as they grew up hearing or even seeing, that "men" don't value women who show interest on time, therefore, these women keep "forming" not interested till they feel it's time, because of this, it's hard for the guys to tell, if she's really not interested or just playing hard to get.

You shouldn't have asked her to stop calling you bro. Just cut communication....that's all. Get busy in real life. I bet you will never have any cause to chase a lady for 2 months. 30 minutes is ok for me.

I never wanted to comment but this one thing you said I appreciate so much. "GET BUSY WITH REAL LIFE"

Yes there is the real world. What ever you don't have now,you don't need it. If you were a graduate and working; waking up and going to your office, you won't realize she exist. Ladies want too much attention,don't satisfy that passion.

Re: How Long Should A Guy Woo A Girl Before Giving Up? by humilitypays(m): 8:43pm On Feb 27, 2015
@op, it takes a girl or lady less than 1 hour to decide whether to date u or not.

Any girl that keeps u waiting for more than 7 days to tell u whether she is ready to date u isn't truly into you but struggling hard to find something good in you to attract her or convince her to date u, and once she finds sth she likes abt u, she will then tell u yes.

Most girls that form hard to get for Mr. A for instance will say yes to Mr B the same minute Mr B asks her out and even seduce Mr C the first minute she meets Mr C that has most of the qualities she desires in a guy.

That girl playing hard-to-get for u is dying for one guy somewhere to ask her out, so stop sweating for any girl pls. Once a girl tells you No or refuses to give u a positive response between 1 - 7days maximum, pls free her immediately and delete her number if possible and never u call her again!

Guys wise up pls. God blessing comes with no sorrow or hard work...it comes by favour and unmerited!


Guys don't ever make the mistake of sweating to convince a girl to date or marry u plz! Its a foolish mistake!

Did u watch Titanic? It took Rose less than 1 hour to fall in love with Jerk the kind of guy she desires whereas it took that other rich guy months and thousands of dollars to convince Rose to mary him.

It took Rose less than 24 hours to have sex with Jerk but took her eternity to peck her rich fiancee.

Guys pls stop believing that girls that play hard-to-get are good girls...na lie o...she is playing hard-to-get for u simple because she isn't truly into you, the moment she meets a guy that has the qualities she desires in a man, she will say yes to him and may even have sex with him the same day, so op...free that girl pls and face your life, education, career or business.

Its high time you guys stop giving some paranoid girls sense of entitlement and importance.

This is why women should let a guy know upfront that they are not interested in dating him if they don't like the dude. Its wrong for some women to keep giving the guy hope by saying they are single but just want to be friends even tho they are not interested in ever dating the guy. Some women just like the attention from guys wooing them.
