“Maybe” is her way of softening the blow. She’s not keeping the option open, she’s closing the door quietly so you don’t hear the lock click. Hopeful men treat “maybe” like a chance. Experienced men know it’s the exit sign.
She’s not indecisive. She’s just too polite to say the hard “no.” Don’t put it on your calendar. Don’t follow up. That maybe was your goodbye.
Final Thought: “Maybe” is rejection wearing mascara.
Disclaimer: If you’re still waiting on a “maybe,” you’ve been ghosted in slow motion.
