What to Say When She's Still Deciding If She's Interested
What to say to get her number when she says she's still deciding if she's interested. Move her from undecided to a clear yes or no.
She's told you she hasn't made up her mind. That is not a rejection, but it is also not an invitation. Most people hear it as a cue to prove themselves harder, which usually pushes her further back into neutral.
What she is actually asking for is information. She wants to know what talking to you in person would feel like, and she's waiting to see whether you give her a reason to find out. A good reply makes the next step small and concrete, so that deciding becomes easy rather than a verdict on your whole personality.
The goal is not to win the argument about whether she's interested. It's to get her phone number, or a plan, while she still feels free to say yes.

When someone says they're still deciding, the sentence before it usually tells you the real issue. "You're fun to talk to but I don't know you yet" means the chat is working and the gap is context. She has a read on your texting voice but no read on your in-person presence, your life, or how you handle a real date.
So the question underneath her message is: what would I learn about you by meeting you that I can't learn here? If you answer that question with a fact or a shared plan, the decision becomes easier. If you answer it with reassurance, she has nothing new to weigh.
Also notice what she didn't say. She didn't say she's out, she didn't say she's busy, and she didn't ask you to stop. Undecided is a open door, and it's usually a door she'd like to see if she can walk through without much effort.
Make the next step small enough to say yes to
A good reply does three jobs at once. First, it accepts her uncertainty without arguing with it, so she doesn't have to defend her hesitation. Second, it names one specific thing she'd learn in person, such as a place you'd go or a topic you'd want to get into, so meeting feels like information rather than commitment. Third, it asks for the number or a time in the same breath, because "let's talk more" with no logistics leaves her to do the work of setting it up.
Keep the acknowledgement short. One clause is enough. If you spend more words on her hesitation than on the plan, the plan starts to look like the thing you're nervous about. The ask should sound like something you'd suggest anyway, not a last attempt to change her mind.
Finally, make it easy to decline cleanly. A clear, friendly question gives her a simple way to say "not yet" or "sure" without feeling cornered, which paradoxically makes a yes more likely.
Wait out the silence before following up
After you send the ask, give her a real window to answer, usually a day for a casual chat. If she replies with interest, move to the plan. If she replies with another vague "maybe," don't escalate. Acknowledge it once, keep it light, and let the conversation end on something easy.
If she goes quiet, one follow-up is reasonable, sent a day or two later, and it should be shorter than your first message and ask nothing big. Something like a light comment about something you talked about earlier works. Don't send a second paragraph explaining yourself.
Stop after that. Three unanswered messages in a row mean she's chosen not to decide, and continuing turns a neutral situation into a pressured one. Clear the thread and move on, because a quiet ending preserves the chance of a future conversation.
Why these replies fail
“I get that, but I think we'd be really good together, can I at least take you out to prove it?”
It argues against her uncertainty and asks her to accept a claim about compatibility she has no basis for yet.
“Totally fair! Just so you know I'm a really loyal guy and I've been told I'm a great listener. Let me know if you want to grab coffee sometime.”
The self-description is generic filler, and the vague "sometime" gives her nothing concrete to decide on.
“Ok. Guess I'll leave you to it then.”
It treats her honesty as a rejection and makes her feel responsible for your reaction.
Common mistakes
- Asking her to confirm she likes you, which forces a yes or no she isn't ready to give
- Listing your good qualities or past relationships to build a case
- Replying with a long paragraph that treats her comment as a problem to solve
- Going quiet or sulking, which reads as confirmation that she was right to hesitate
- Asking for her number in the same message as a defence, so the ask gets lost
Questions people ask
- Does 'I'm still deciding' mean she's not interested?
- Not necessarily. It usually means she likes the conversation but doesn't have enough information yet to commit. Undecided is still open. The useful response is to give her one concrete way to get that information, such as meeting in person, rather than trying to convince her she should be sure. If she stays vague after a clear ask, treat that as a soft no.
- Should I ask for her number right away after she says that?
- You can, but keep it attached to a plan. Asking for a number on its own can feel like pressure when she's still deciding. Pair it with a specific idea, like a coffee spot or a time that works, so the number becomes the logistics for something she can picture. That makes it easier for her to say yes.
- How long should I wait for her to decide?
- For an active chat, a day is usually fine before a follow-up. If she gives another vague answer, you can make one more light attempt a few days later. Beyond that, waiting indefinitely isn't useful, and continuing to message can start to feel like pressure. Let the thread rest and move on if she doesn't come back.
- What if she keeps saying she's not sure?
- Repeated uncertainty usually means she isn't interested enough to meet, even if she's enjoying the chat. Acknowledge it once, keep the tone easy, and avoid making another big case for yourself. You can leave the door open lightly, but if the pattern continues, it's kinder to both of you to stop pursuing.
