One way or another, it sets a bad precedent.
If she's just flirting, and I stay, I'm implicitly accepting the burden of deciphering any further ambiguous statements she might choose to make, for the duration of the relationship.
If she honestly wants nothing to do with me, but is speaking gently because she also doesn't want to give offense, and I stay, that persistence might intimidate her into silence, which can lead to some very unpleasant outcomes indeed.
This is where I insert a joke about married life. But I don't want to be down voted anymore. So just think up the joke yourself.
Good jokes get voted up, not down.
Yes, I actually knew this. The sad part is I thought what I wrote was a good joke. But I was wrong.
Humor, grain of truth, etc. Whoever told that joke the first time, I'm guessing, settled for a pretty girl who'd talk to them at all instead of thinking it through.
