Confident vs. Clingy: Are You Too Desperate When it Comes to Dating?

- By

Scenario: You’re chatting it up with a cutie from one of your grad school classes and suggest that the two of you get together for coffee sometime. He  says “That would be cool, but my schedule is just crazy these days.”

Desperate Reaction: You say “Well, maybe we can bring our books and make it a study date. Actually, I could let you see my rough draft of the final paper, since I’m already almost finished…”

Confident Reaction: You reply “No worries, I totally understand.” More often than not, “I’m too busy” is a code for “I don’t want to.” In the case that it isn’t, you’ve already put your interest out there, so there’s no need to do more.
