I’ve been on two dates with a 25-year-old woman, and now she’s busy for two weeks. I’m trying to figure out whether she’s still interested or politely rejecting me.
Two dates is an awkward amount of information. We’ve spent some time together, but we’re still getting to know each other. I don’t have much context for what a gap like this means.
Two weeks could be exactly what she says it is: a stretch when she’s unavailable. It could also be a gentle way of creating distance. The same explanation can fit either possibility, which is inconvenient for anyone hoping to understand it immediately.
I don’t want to treat a busy schedule as a hidden message just because I’m interested. I also don’t want to assume there will be another date simply because neither of us has explicitly ruled it out.
There isn’t a clear ending to report. We went on two dates; she’s busy for the next two weeks. That leaves me wondering whether this is a pause before we see each other again, or the point where two dates remain two dates.
