Mine has always been those who can't make up their mind whether they want to bother with you or not. Like I have someone who, what felt like was pulling teeth almost, to confess whether they were interested in me or not. The best they could say was "I didn't say I am but I also didn't say I'm not either". Like what the hell kind of response is that?

With things like that, I am a 'yes' or 'no' type of person. Don't be dicking with my feelings like that. In fact, I would want to hear 'no' by this point because that would give me the release to pursue others.

Another peeve is lack of building. I'm huge on building. Pry into my world and I'll pry into yours, lets learn eachother as much as we can. We can't learn anything if the conversation is always short-strung by one-wording eachother to death.

If it's not a yes, it's a no. If you ask someone on a date and they um and ah, that's effectively a no. Some people are just bad of saying no.

And some women are scared to say "No" or told they should say "No". Invite the No when you ask
