two points.
First, many shadchanim don’t take no very well. It is not unreasonable to push someone off if it is the only way to avoid a long debate.
Secondly, “maybe” is not “no”. It means not now. Deciding who to date requires a judgment of the available options, and something may become a better idea when in the future it is compared with different options.
Some people seem to have this notion that every date idea should be given a simple yes or no on a “first come” basis. That is absurd.
