The “I’m busy with work” excuse

Whenever I am in the early stages of talking with someone and they keep throwing the "I'm busy with work" excuse whenever I ask to hang out or to meet, I have learned to let them go and pursue someone else.

Usually when someone uses the "busy with work" line, they're just not that interested in you.

Busy people will still make time for the people they like.

If someone is constantly using this line with you It could be: a) theyre truly that busy but that also means they're not the person you want to be dating anyways because they can’t carve out time to hang with you Or b) they're trying to dodge hanging out with you and are not interested but wants to keep stringing you alone just in case they can’t find anyone better

Either way, it’s time to move on!
