It is a sign of immaturity when you say yes to a man immediately after he asks you out.
But do you know what's even more immature?
Saying no, not because you don’t like him, not because he's not your type, and not because you're uncertain but because someone somewhere on the internet told you, “Never say yes too soon.”
We now live in a generation where relationships are sabotaged before they even begin not by incompatibility or lack of love, but by the fear of looking too available.
Too many women have been fed the idea that being “hard to get” is the only way to protect their worth. You hear things like: “Don’t pick up his calls too fast,” “Don’t reply to his messages quickly,”
“Make him chase you for months,” “You’re the prize let him suffer for you.” And somehow, this has become a badge of maturity.
But here's the truth that you don't like to hear...
There is a huge difference between being valuable and being emotionally manipulative. You are not expensive because you are hard to reach. You are valuable because of who you are, your mindset, your growth, your character, your peace, your purpose, and your vision.
Maturity is not about delaying the obvious.
It’s knowing when something good has come to you and being confident enough to embrace it. If you’ve met someone you connect with, someone whose values align with yours, someone you can build with... why punish them for showing up right?
Why make them chase you for months just to prove you're “not easy”?
Some ladies have lost the love of their lives to unnecessary delays and performance-based dating. They knew the man was right. They had peace. But the fear of looking “too available” made them miss out on something beautiful.
Who gave us this mindset?
Who told us that a woman is only valuable when she plays hard to get?
Let’s tell ourselves the truth. Emotional maturity is knowing what you want and having the courage to walk toward it, not run from it hoping the other person will chase you to prove something. You are not the prize because you say no. You are the prize because of what you bring into a relationship... Love, growth, stability, vision, purpose, peace, and more.
Ladies, your worth is not proven by how long you make a man suffer.
You don’t need to pretend you’re uninterested just to appear powerful. If you like him and he likes you, and you both are emotionally, spiritually, and mentally ready, then be honest with yourself. Be wise, but don’t be manipulative.
There’s a difference between discernment and delay tactics. There’s a difference between guarding your heart and hiding your heart out of fear.
Stop letting other people’s failed stories shape your success story.
You are not “just another lady.” But remember, you don’t prove that by withholding affection, you prove it by showing up fully, intentionally, and maturely when love finds you.
You are not weak because you say yes.
You are wise because you say yes with clarity.
Let’s normalize healthy, emotionally intelligent relationships not games that end up with both people confused and heartbroken.
I hope this helps you make the right decision.
