How many times can a woman say 'No', when she really means 'Yes'?

I think not more than twice.

For men who don't try a third time, the game is over.

For men who dont try again a third time, the game is over... so it is also for the woman?

The game is over as far as the man is concerned. You forget that the woman is the game.

Question is whether the woman feel repentant as the man did not ask for the third time.

@ Anon: She can't repent. She can only regret.

Actually what plays in woman's regretful mind? why the man didn't ask for the third time or why didn't she said yes in the second time. Is it ever possible for the man to know that the woman wanted to say yes but only he could ask one more time.

@ Anon: I guess you are right. She wishes that she had said yes the second time. After all, you cannot expect a man to ask a third time, when he has heard no twice.

I believe a man typically asks at most twice..because the magic number 3 is not known to him. he can consider the first no as something that the woman won't repeat in the second. unless there is a different intensity of "no" in the second time.

I think if a woman wants to say yes, with every question she might reduce the intensity of negation and gradually turn the no to yes.

*I found this post to be very interesting and thatswhy made comment on it. If it hurts your feelings then I am very sorry. This topic abt relationship is very sensitive and complicated, and no way i want to increase any complication.

@Anon: thank you for your comments. I guess I have left a comments section for people to well..er..comment after all! So, no offense taken...and I certainly agree you 100% - the intensity of saying the no must lessen for a man to feel that she means to say a yes but cannot say it. Umm...why do I get the feeling that I know you! Reveal thyself anonymous stranger!
