unpersuaded
Not won over
Unpersuaded means not convinced or won over by an argument, appeal, or evidence.
Someone who remains unpersuaded has heard the case but isn't buying it: Despite hours of debate, she remained unpersuaded.
The word suggests active resistance rather than mere ignorance—the attempt at persuasion happened and failed.
