If it’s a shy, non-commital “no”, with zero followup explaining any reasons they don’t want to, then sure maybe another ask is in order.
If it’s a solid “no”, or they start listing off excuses or reasons after a tepid no… They probably actually don’t want it. It COULD be something like anxiety making them say, “no” and stammer out some weak excusable excuses, but that is rare compared to someone who just wants to politely say no.
Try again. The woman I’ve been with for over a decade originally said no as well.
But don’t think that life is like a 90s romantic comedy and go full stalker.
Nah break into her house and raid her underwear drawer, you’ll seem quirky.
Yeah, I just said try again, and not again and again and again either
Try again yes but with a different woman.
This depends entirely on the nature of the, “no”.
