Why do women need time to think about things?

[Epistaxis]

I can't remember any case where "time to think" resulted in blissful reunion, marriage, 3 or 4 kids, and the house on the hill with white picket fence.

Think about what that would mean if you said it to someone.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I can't think of many situations that was the end result with a "time to think" or impulse

heh, no wonder.

the only girl I've dated who didn't at one point pull the "I need to think about it" or what not card was one with literally no girl friends at the time (long story, she wasn't as strange as that makes her sound). She was also the most irrational and went back on nearly every decision she made. She was crazy in her own right, but this thread makes me wonder what woulda happened if her friends had still been around.

Its funny, b/c based on the comments in this thread, I can tell which ones of you are getting laid and which ones aren't

and which ones of you never have been at all

I'm the third kind... I'm the innocent one. I never touched a booby before. I'm saving my self for someone special.

But when a girl tells you she needs time to think, that's when you come into play and say its over. If she does like you, she will try to reason with you not to dump her.

Most girls know what they want. They just pretend to only want to be friends or need time to "think" about things.

the other half is we actually DO need time so we can turn around and tell our girlfriends everything and ask them what they think we should do.

hypothetical situation: a guy that your friend used to hook up with like 2 years ago is now trying to get with you. he is someone you have known for a long time and you are the one that introduced the friend to him.

said friend has a boyfriend now and is perfectly happy in her relationship that she has been in for at least 6 months.

You and the guy meet up for drinks and he tries to make a move. you tell him you need to "think about it" before anything happens (if it does happen).

aka, you need to turn around and ask all of your gfs what they think about the situation and what you should do. then, based on how you feel combined with their opinions, you let him know whatsup.

So what you're saying is women can't make their own decisions?

Some women are just waiting to be called on their BS. If you want an answer tell her she owes you one (assuming she really does).

If she really does need time, give her more than she wants.

nope, not at all. we just like to hear others' opinions about it as well before making our own decision.

and I didn't say this was about everything, only in certain situations. I mean, I don't call my girlfriends and say "damn, Im stuck, what do I get, the chicken sandwich or the cheeseburger?"
