Her response: Mm sarcasm?

Well....I don't think that's the response you were looking for. And I can't think of anything good that you should should respond with here. So, I guess if it was me, I just wouldn't respond. Wait until/if she comes back with something else. But truly, I don't know the best route at this point.

I don't like: "Mm sarcasm?"

It's minimal, no effort on her part, and sounds bitchy. I guess she may have responded in kind, so my advice may have been bad - but she deserved it for flaking, and needs to know you're not going to roll over for her ass, IMO. Maybe after a few hamster cycles she'll come back with something else. Huh

Ha ha went for a picture of some lamb chops and she texted me back at 11:00 pm with the same picture of the lamb but with writing she had added over it saying "eat chicken mofo" it must have taken her a little time to do. Any ideas on how to continue. I was going to wait a day then call her and try and reschedule.

been chatting with this hot chick from instagram who has got a lot of tattoos:

(...)
Me: How many tattoos you got?
She: 12
Me: Which one do you like the most?
She: The one on my leg for my family means a lot to me. But the other ones I equally like a lot as well.
(to be continued)

Stuck her. got not ideas today. any tips?
MrXY 路 2015-09-20 10:50:00 路 #1762
Asking girls about their tattoos is bad game. They're looking for attention and you're giving it to them like every other thirsty dude. The more tattoos a girl has, the better it is to completely ignore them.

In response to meeting up, latest from girl whose number I pulled on the train:

Her: Lol am not a player. Honestly, how can I trust you. We met on train. I've met a lot of guys that were hitting on me on the train

What are your guy's thoughts on time elapsed from getting the # to texting the girl? I got the # from a co worker yesterday, she seems to have a high interest level, and I'm kinda wanting to text her. However, I know how it's like hitting them with anti game when you get excited...problem is i am excited. Would it be better to just let it be for now rather than act quickly?
Rhyme or Reason 路 2015-09-22 11:51:00 路 #1767
^^ Well I did end up texting her and from what I can tell it was a mistake. This was around 830pm.


This is how the exchange went


Me: Hey what ya up to?

Her: I'm in class, what are you doing?

Me: Just got home from work.

Her: Are you in school?


Me: Nope. What are you doing after?

her: bed.


Me: Exciting lol.


That was it. God it was painful to type that out.


Since that was our first exchange I will need a restart text in a few days, maybe. I feel like I've given too much away already, though, just by that text conversation.

So what would you have said given her aloof response? I wasn't about to keep putting in 100 percent of the effort where it's not being reciprocated.

I agree with both these statments. However, by her response, she seems like she has low interest at this point. She would reciprocate more if she had higher interest, and that's where the teasing comes in.

There's different schools of thought on this one. Some say only text to set up dates - which is what you tried, it seems. However, like I was saying, her interest may be too low to set up a date. You went straight to the point, which there's a time and a place for (and maybe just your timing was bad on this one), but, considering all factors: she works with you, you may need to finesse this one a little more.... and, which I fully believe texting can be used as a great tool for, get her interest spiked - increase her buying temperature, then go for the date.

If she wasn't looking for a distraction, she never would have answered you.

Try a more playful vibe from the get go. If you're doing something boring, evade the question. Aim to disrupt her boredom. She doesn't need company. Remember, she thinks she's starring in a movie, so set the scene.

That's good. My text game is shit and needs serious work. I'm just extremely averse to investing anything into these types of exchanges because I am always assuming they are just looking for attention, and it's hard to read their vibes via text unless they are making it obvious that they want you.

22yo blonde 7, been texting a bit after match in Happn and I suggest meeting for a drink. Texting in my language so not exact words but after I suggest it goes something like this:

Her: so you don't waste any time Smile but first I wanna hear what you're looking for? Smile
Me: haha and the questioning has begun
Me: I just see how things move along, I'm not looking for wife and kids or ONS but something in between (bad reply...)
Her: OK! Hehe Smile I just don't wanna waste my time on someone not serious, that's why I ask. I only wanna meet someone who want something serious. I'm not keen on a lay in other words Smile

That was yesterday and I haven't replied.

Norwegian chicks are quite honest about their intentions, I don't think this one will go anywhere but curious for suggestions on how to play it.

When a girl initiates the 'what are you looking for' conversation (which is quite common in my experience) I tend to just deflect with some humor. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it backfires (she thinks you're a player/scares the cat). Depends on the girl. It appears some girls just want a more beta/straightforward response.
holdoncallfield 路 2015-09-26 17:47:00 路 #1776
so i picked up a number on thursday night, sent a nice to meet you + hook text, got a shorter response, sent another hook from our interaction that night an hour later and got a "haha maybe" with a couple of emoticons. This is dead right? She did shorten her response times but the shorter responses themselves have my gut telling me this number is dead.

I was banging this girl early this year where I'm now back in the same country as her. She just hit me with a shit test...

Me: we will catch up tonight!?
Her: why you want to see me again?
Me: if you don't want to see me, that's ok
Me: I'm now busy tonight? How about tomorrow night?
Her: if you think you want me only for fun, I don't want like before. And I will not do like before.

If one's 1st txt is not replied to, is there ever good cause for another?

It depends on the situation. In my opinion there麓s rarely a reason to send another, at least not in that interaction. You could always follow up a week or so after the first text if she doesn麓t answer. But it really depends on what you texted her. Sometimes a girl can read a text, something else catches her attention, and she forgets to reply.

I was thinking a drink and live music. I'm sure there's a place you know that can provide that for me.

You: You don't like to have fun?

Personally, I've had trouble re-connecting with FB's. Usually, they seem to throw a wrench into trying to pick up where it was left off, like this girl is doing now. Lose/lose situation, IME, unless they're forthcoming right from the get go about jumping back in the saddle. I'm sure it's some kind of ASD hamster spinning, but I wouldn't put too much effort into it.
