All sounds a bit low risk and ambiguous, you're playing friend instead of man. Next time she says you're bad, or a devil, agree. When it's playfully bad always agree. You can turn that into some naughty boy/good girl role playing and puncture her logic. Still, you did keep on when she said she was busy, let her breathe and have another go, there's obviously something there.

Ok need some last pointers guys!! Had the snowboarding social last night and cos it was a big one it was well hard to get much time with her (which is why I was pushing to see her sometime beforehand) but did manage to pull her aside and tell her that I wanted to take her out on a date just me and her (cos as you sed PS there was a bit of ambiguity as to whether I was friend or man). She was well keen on the idea, but did say about how shes only around for a few more weeks and how shes got a lot of work in that time. I told her I'd give her a txt and we'd go out but just wondering how to respond if she says about lack of time etc again and whats the best sort of date to go on given the parameters?

Cheers playas

Always twangs instant 'fuckmeabout' alarms in my head
that and the time contraint - i would just exchange a couple of banter txts with her and then just say ' so when you free for hooking up, we`ll compare diaries!'

if she fluffs about and doesnt give you an answer, id just say okies well gimme a shout x

then go hardcore and delete her number

the END move forward onto the next

I'd go straight back with:

"OK cool. Just text me when you've finished all your work."

Then you won't be chasing her and the ball is in her court.

This.
