How would would you respond to this? I'm talking about being in touch with a girl who has just come out of a bad relationship and initially seemed keen but is beggining to have doubts meeting you. Or would you walk away from a girl who is in that state of mind?

"I don't want to get hurt"

a girl who has just come out of a bad relationship

beggining to have doubts meeting you.

I would take the alpha stance, be a man, and tell her you’re not going to play games with her, you’re an honest guy, you have no history of doing the shit (I’m assuming, if you expect her to trust you), and she’s either got a trust you or deal with the consequences.

What you’re really asking here is if you should wait around and let her play this game, or if you should stand your ground and tell her to grow up and face the fact that there is a certain amount of risk and getting in a relationship.

There’s just as much of that risk for you as there is for her, but she’s making you responsible for waiting around for her?

If she wanted a cigarette badly enough, she’s not gonna sit around asking, “is the cigarette going to hurt me?”—she’s only going to be interested in feeding her ADDICTION.

What she’s basically saying in the situation and she knows you don’t have many options, or at least she thinks that, I don’t know the whole situation, but she’s expecting you to wait around for her and cater to her.

I would tell her, when she makes up her mind like a grown-up, and is ready to have a real relationship to give you a call.

You don't even have to think about your question, if she's interested she will come back plain and simple. If she's not you shouldn't be with her in the first place because you're just wasting your time.
