Below are the possible outcomes if you ask someone out:

  1. A reply of "No".
  2. A reply of "Yes".
  3. No reply at all.

Considerable anguish could be avoided if people understood that outcomes 1 and 3 are the same.
Let's go through the bullets above in greater detail.

  1. A reply of "No".
    Hopefully not too much explanation is required for this first item, but for any slow learners, the object of your affection is not interested.
  2. A reply of "Yes".
    A reply of "Yes" could in fact mean literally "yes".
    However, be prepared to find out that in some cases, "Yes" may also mean "No", but the object of your affection has no interest in discussing the matter right now.
  3. No reply at all.
    The point above is intended to be the main takeaway of this web page.
    The object of your affection is NOT interested.

What About Context?

Before encountering outcomes 1 or 3, one or more of the following may have happened:

What is the significance of outcomes 1 and 3 with regard to the list above?
The list above has no significance with regard to outcomes 1 and 3.
If you have arrived at either outcome 1 or outcome 3, the path by which you arrived does not matter.
However, if you are a particularly insightful individual, you might be able to use context to determine when "Yes" means "No".
