They love that game, which sucks because I think most guys hate the game. We're simple creatures.

I disagree, DaHoss.
WarningWarningWaringGrossGeneralizationAboutToFoll ow:
I think you guys THINK you don't love the game, but in fact you LOVE the game, because you all love competition. That's why sports is a multi-billion dollar industry-- men love competition. So we play hard to get so you can keep competing and when you finally hook us, you feel like you won something good. (You know, like how you'll spend oodles of money to win us a stupid stuffed animal at carnivals-- one that you'd never actually just go buy at a toy store-- it's all about the winning it.) If a girl came right out and said, "Sure; you're great; I'm happy to go out with you" then you'd start thinking, "Hmm... that was too easy. Where's the fun in that? What's wrong with her?"
Which is why we girls are most likely to meet a guy when we've decided we're through with men-- then we're REALLY not interested and we must give off some kind of "Really, I'm not interested" pheromone that is just like catnip to guys (guynip?). In that moment, we go from being a stuffed animal for sale at ToysRUs to a stuffed animal hanging up in a carnival booth and if you can just get three baskets...
That said, Scav, if you asked her to do something, and she said she was booked up the next few weekends and didn't give you specifics as to what she was doing, she's probably not interested. Or she's really bad at playing the game, in which case she's not worth your trouble. But hey, you could always ask her out for a weeknight and if she says no, you've got your answer. You're no worse off than if you didn't ask. And then you move on and can focus your energy on someone new. And later when she regrets it, you can smile sympathetically and pat her on the head and go home to your girlfriend.
And if she's not interested and is using you for free lunches, she's a complete a**hole and gives all of us women a bad name. I HATE women who do that.
