Did you just ask your crush out and she replied back to you saying that she is too busy or has a lot on her plate right now?
Does it mean she is rejecting you or do you still have a chance with her?
Girls often tell guys that they are busy instead of telling them that they are not interested.
Not every girl is comfortable with rejecting a guy by telling him straight NO and that’s why many women use excuses like “Sorry I am busy this weekend” or “I don’t feel well today”.
This is especially common when you meet a girl online on dating apps like Tinder or Bumble.
There are many reasons why a girl might be interested in chatting with you online but not meeting in person.
Maybe she is already taken, afraid to meet people offline, or doesn’t look the same as in her photos.
It is also possible that she is telling the truth and she is in fact busy. However, if the girl is actually interested in you, she will always find time for you or will suggest alternative days when you can hang out.

Should I Ask Her Out Again If She Said She Was Busy?

Usually, a month or two is a good timeframe to ask her out again. To improve your chances of getting a positive response ask her out in person instead of texting her.
However, don’t be that guy that continues asking her out every few days when she clearly tells you that she is not interested.
How to Respond When a Girl Says She is Not Interested?
It is important not to burn any bridges with a girl who rejected you because you never know when she might change her mind.
Keep in mind that she is lying to you by saying that she is busy to avoid hurting your feelings or making you feel rejected. So if you think about it, she is actually doing it for your own good so there is no reason to get angry at her.
Instead, be mature about it and she will either change her mind or some other girl will come along that actually wants to hang out with you.
The best way to respond to rejection is to tell her something like:
“Thanks for being honest with me. Have a good day!”
“No worries I guess I misunderstood your intentions. Good luck!”
“Appreciate you getting back to me. Hope you find what you are looking for!“
