Persistence A Virtue?

Deal or no deal is my question for you today. If you ask a girl out (or a guy, for any female readers) and they say no, does that mean that you just give up on taking this person out? Do you automatically assume that there is no way that the girl will ever change her mind, or do you wait for a while and then ask again? They say that patience is a virtue, but is persistence? I personally would say that, if you really like this person, you should keep asking them. Look at rejection as a challenge, not a defeat. Who knows? The girl might be impressed by the fact that you don’t take no for an answer. Or, conversely, she might be annoyed. But you’ll never find out which, unless you try.

Now, you need to make sure that you don’t step over the line that divides persistence and stalking. Some people will get really annoyed and scared when someone won’t leave them alone. So, be persistent, but within reason. Don’t call the girl/guy every single day and ask them out or you might end up with a restraining order instead of a date, then it wouldn’t matter how persistent you were.

Anybody have any thoughts on how to be a persistent dater, but not a stalker?
