Why do some people say that I should ask a woman out more than once?

I have a policy of "only ask once and if I get any answer other than a yes, I'll take that as a rejection and I'll move on" and my friends say that I have defeatist attitude and should always ask more than once but I think that's disrespectful to woman and shows desperation and well I am not desperate.

Who is right here?

    It depends on the woman. Obviously you don't want to be pushy but I have a few female friends and a couple of ex-girlfriends who liked to be lavished in attention by their possible suitor, so they have a kind of "you should work for it or you never really liked me!" attitude.

    Usually you can tell whether a girl is genuinely not interested or just playing coy, if you can't you should just back off. No sense in making someone feel uncomfortable by not taking the hint.

    A: All of you. Your way works for you and their way works for them.
