What to say when she says I'll think about it
She said she'll think about it. Here's how to reply so you stay on her mind without looking desperate or needy.
When a girl says she'll think about something, she's usually buying time. It could mean she's interested but weighing options, or it could mean she's uncertain and wants space to decide. Either way, your reply sets the tone for whether she circles back or forgets about you.
The mistake most guys make is either pushing harder ("When will you know?") or disappearing entirely (hoping silence shows you're cool). Both backfire. You need to reply in a way that shows you're unbothered by her timeline while keeping yourself on her radar.
A good reply does two things: it releases the pressure so she doesn't feel trapped, and it makes you memorable enough that thinking about it means thinking about you.

A 'I'll think about it' is not a no. It's also not a yes. She's actually going to think, which means she has real uncertainty and needs actual time. That's different from a flat rejection, which would be 'I'm not interested' or no reply at all.
What she's signalling: she wants the option to stay open. Maybe you asked her out, maybe you proposed something and she's not sure if it fits her schedule, maybe she likes you but has other things going on. The point is, she didn't close the door. Your job is not to convince her to open it wider. Your job is to make sure she thinks about you positively while she's deciding.
Keep it light and let her off the hook
Your reply should acknowledge what she said without making it weird. Don't pretend she didn't say it. Don't ask for a timeline. Don't sweeten the offer. Just reply in a way that shows you heard her and you're fine with her taking time.
The move is to be brief, relaxed, and slightly playful if it fits your dynamic. Show her that you're not sitting around waiting for her decision. This does two things: it takes the pressure off her (so she doesn't feel guilty or trapped), and it demonstrates that you have other things going on and aren't desperate.
Give her space but don't vanish
Wait for her to come back to you. If she said she'll think about it, the next move is hers. Don't check in after two days asking how the thinking is going. That kills the whole vibe.
If a week or two passes with nothing, then you can send a casual, single message that's not a question. Something that reminds her you exist without demanding a response. After that, let it go. If she never comes back, the answer became clear without her having to say it. Don't text a third time or call or try another angle. At that point you're chasing, and it shows.
Why these replies fail
“Take your time, I'm not going anywhere lol”
Sounds like you're waiting around specifically for her, which broadcasts neediness instead of confidence
“No problem! When do you think you'll have an answer? Just want to make sure I have you down”
Asking for a timeline pressures her and makes her feel like she owes you a decision on your schedule
“Cool, cool. Just so you know, [extra reason why you're awesome or why she should say yes]”
Trying to sweeten the deal after she said she'll think about it looks like you're selling, not dating
Common mistakes
- Saying 'let me know when you've decided' sounds like you're waiting around for her answer
- Going silent for days makes her forget you exist or assume you moved on
- Following up too quickly with 'so, any thoughts?' feels needy and shows you're hung up on her response
- Over-explaining why she should say yes turns her thinking time into a sales pitch
- Sending a long message when she gave you one sentence makes the energy feel unbalanced
Questions people ask
- How long should I wait before following up if I haven't heard back?
- At least 7-10 days. If you reach out sooner, you're interrupting her thinking time and showing you're waiting by the phone. When you do send something, make it a statement about something else, not a question about her decision.
- Should I keep talking to other people while she thinks about it?
- Yes. This isn't sitting around territory. Date other people, do your thing, and if she comes back, great. If she doesn't, you weren't on pause. This also naturally changes your energy when you text her, which is good.
- What if she never gets back to me?
- Then her answer is no, and you move on. Some people really do get busy. Others realize they're not feeling it and ghost instead of saying so. Either way, three weeks of silence means you should stop initiating and accept it's done.
- Is it bad if my reply is just 'sounds good' or 'no rush'?
- Not at all. Short and unbothered is the right energy here. Long messages make it seem like you're overthinking her response. Keep it simple so the focus stays on her, not on analyzing your text.
