I asked a friend if she wanted to get lunch and a drink today. I'm not trying to take things further with this girl, it was really just lunch and she knew that, but Ive gotten similar vibes when talking to other girls as well.

Basically, she said she had to get to work, and I teasingly called her out. She pretty much admitted she wasn't going to get much work done anyway. The convo continued, but instead of pushing the lunch idea further, I dropped it. My mindset generally is: if she actually wants to spend time with me, she'll make time, instead of making a dumb excuse, and it's not worth my time and effort if she doesn't want to.

When it comes to girls I'm interested in dating, I'm pretty quick to forget about her once I get that vibe. At times I do wonder if she wants me to try harder at convincing her. What are your thoughts when this happens?
