Pushing after a “maybe” can come across overly aggressive or tone deaf. You certainly don’t want give the impression of ignoring boundaries or not taking no for an answer.

Savage Responses to Call Them Out

If clever and flirty isn’t your speed, these edgier clap backs may suit you better to call out the wishy-washiness:

• “Maybe you’re too scared to handle all this fire.” boldly suggests they are intimidated
• “Maybe you’re just chicken?” bluntly implies cowardice
• “Maybe you couldn’t keep up with me?” suggests inadequacy by comparison
• “Maybe you feel out of your league a bit?” points out major insecurity implying projection
• “Maybe you’re just not brave enough for that first date?” accusation of weakness
• “Maybe I’m just too much woman/man for you…” arrogant suggestion of their inability to satisfy
• “Maybe you need to grow a pair and make a move..” attacks insufficient confidence or guts
• “Maybe you should stop playing games and be direct for once.” calls out perceived manipulation
• “Maybe you’re not worth the effort it clearly will take here..” harshly implies other options are better use of time

Should You Use Savage Responses?

Before breaking out the big guns with an edgy reaction, consider your goal first.

Do you actually want another opportunity for a date with this person down the line? Or are you just venting hurt feelings through attack?

Aggressive responses that cross over to mean or excessive could burn bridges. Great if that’s your purpose! But not ideal if hope remains for potential future interactions.

Additionally, the above savage clap backs should only be used if that style banter has already been mutually established. Deploying straight out the gate when rapport isn’t solidified yet typically won’t land well.

Turn Down Responses When Ready to Walk Away

At some point, you may decide enough is enough with the games or run around. When you’re officially ready to walk away from negotiations, try one of these firm responses:

• “You know what, I’m going to rescind my offer. I don’t have time for all this hot and cold nonsense. Let me know if you make up your mind clearly one way or another down the road.” makes a clear statement
• “I’m no one’s back up plan or second priority. Let me know if you actually become available to pursue this further. Otherwise, I wish you the best but plan to move forward.” confidently stands ground without attacking
• “I’m interested in someone who reciprocates equal energy. If that time comes for you, you know where to find me! But for now, take care.” implies readiness when they decide to show up
• “I’m not here for games, so I’m going to politely bow out now while holding no hard feelings. But I think we’d have a blast together if we ever get our signals straight. Chat soon if so!” leaves door cracked for redemption later

When to Walk Away

At a certain point, self worth needs to kick in when energy feels too one-sided. You deserve reciprocated effort!

But when choosing to walk away, do so from an empowered mindset rather than because your feelings got hurt. Allow confidence to guide you versus ego.

The above responses aim to deliver the message clearly while maintaining self assuredness and maturity. The goal is stepping away from games or lack of readiness rather than attacking the other person.

Remember, “maybe” sometimes simply indicates inaccurate timing. And that’s ok! Revisit potential down the road when the timing does align.

Parting Words

While an ambiguous “maybe” can definitely be frustrating when looking for a clear yes or no response, all hope isn’t lost! Take it as a challenge to step up your flirting game.

Maybe they find you intriguing but need a bit more convincing before fully committing. Leverage that interest into an opportunity for taking things to the next level together.

Pay attention for signs of clear disinterest of course. But when vibes seem mutually into each other, have fun turning that “maybe” into a “yes!”

I hope the wide range of flirty, funny, savage and creative comebacks above provide inspiration. Feel free to test out a few and report back with any wild successes! Wishing you all best of luck turning maybes into yeses. You’ve so got this!
