Do women like it when you tell them to let you know when they are free to do something?

I have been seeing this girl for a few weeks now and recently asked her to do something this weekend but she is working so I asked her to let me know when she's free so we can do something.

What do you think when a guy says this. Do you still expect him to contact you later or does it feel like hes saying you make the next move?

Good or bad you tell me.

As a guy who understands that some women have very busy social lives and work lives I tend to be persistent with the women I want to see. If she says she is busy I attempt to plan something for when she isn't busy or ask her to let me know when she is free. If she never lets me know that she is free and is always busy when I ask than she obviously isn't interested.

I don't think you did anything wrong.

Since she said she is busy this weekend, there is nothing wrong with asking her to get together next weekend. You can tell if she's just blowing you off.

Unless that is the case, there is no problem with continuing communications with her, even between getting together if the two of you are that type.

I am definitely the type who likes to communicate between dates, and her level of communication might also be an indicator of her interest.

Never, ever leave the option to call with her. Never. Always keep that option to yourself. Always. Bad Antalicus. Bad boy. Go to the corner.

If she is busy, tell her you will call her back after her busy stretch is over and see if she is free then.

You think even if she's into me, there's a chance she wont let me know when she's free?

I will let a guy know if I like him. But that's just me. Sample size 1.

If your girl likes to be chased, it may be a better idea to keep asking her out until she says either "Sure, let's do it" or "Don't you get it? Leave me alone."

No, it has nothing do with her. It just leaves you in a better spot. Now, you have to wait for her to call. Why give up control of the situation when there is no need? What happens if she doesn't call on Monday or Tuesday? What if it's Wednesday? What if it is next Friday? Why leave yourself with questions about what is happening when you can just keep the initiative.

No matter how cool and cynical people pretend to be everyone is affected by the will he/she call stuff. So, take away that anxiety by retaining the option to yourself.

I never like it when a guy leaves it so open like that. To me that just says that he is really not interested since he isn't asking for a specific day.

Usually if I know that I am really busy during the weekend or week that he asked me about - then I will say something like " Hey, I'm going to be really busy this weekend and not have a ton of free time but Sunday might be a good option - I can call you around 3pm or whatever whenever I am done with X and before I got to X" I usually do that because then the guy knows I am still interested in hanging out but that he knows that I also have a time schedule and that I am busy.

I know everyone doesn't work like that - but thats how I view it. If they are interested then they make time for you, or at least say hey i can't this week but next monday looks perfect.

Usually when a guy says that line to me about giving them a call whenever I am free then that means that well they aren't interested, I can call and they won't pick up... or they aren't interested enough to ask for a specific day.

Thats my .02

Good advice.

Once someone turns you down it is their task to inform you when they are available.

Otherwise, "busy" was a lie, and why date a liar?
