A girl I've dated once, got to my place, made out with is "to busy with school" and "let's figure this out when school dies"

FFS.

I guess the best respond would be "unsubscribe" ?

Say just this: "I understand.

"

It is bound to make her think, that there is something wrong with you.

Interesting, I'll try that and report with result.

So I fucked up hard the first time I met this chick online. She's foreign, I'd mixed her up with other people I'd talked to, it was hilariously bad. She's surprisingly still interested.

About it we joked that I owe her...

Her: So how will you make it up to me?

What do I say/do?

She's South African btw.

You have been too pushy, and, came off as desperate.

Or, use the one-liner, from above;
It is not guaranteed, however.

Well, you can only find out by trying.

I am predicting, however, it will.

If it does not,
You lose a (probably mediocre) girl.

If it does; you will have got a gift, that you can use in the future.

Learn by making your own way, and, learning from your mistakes;
Remebering vs Adapting...

P. S.
You should stop being so unsure - it is bad for your inner game

This one probably can't be salvaged, but I'll post here for your opinions.

Friday night I'm leaving a new club opening party about 3.30am. A buddy of mine is wasted so I'm helping him out to a cab. I'm a white guy in a sea of Thais and a pretty good looking girl, some kind of White-Asian mix with unaccented English, comes up to me as we get closer to the cab line, clearly distraught, and says "can i ask you a huge favor?" I say depends what it is. Turns out she left her bag with wallet and phone in another cab (she doesn't drink) and needs a couple bucks for a cab home. I make a quick assessment that she's legitimately just lost her stuff and decide ok, I'll give you the $5 (this is Thailand). We try her phone from mine a couple times, no dice. As this is happening, I'm taking a look at her and realizing she's actually pretty damn hot - but my (beta) friend is bending over backward to make sure she's alright and preventing much casual conversation while this is going. After a couple tries I just stick her in the cab - she say OMG thx thx I feel like I have to pay you back bla bla. I just shut the door and off she goes.

Next afternoon I open my texting app and there she pops up, as I now have her in my phone. Her profile there has her instagram, so I check it out. Turns out she's a bigtime model and currently messing around with the top male celeb actor in the country.

I throwaway text 'you ever find your phone?' knowing she probably won't. To my surprise she gets back the next day with "heyyy, no Sad " So I say: "Sucks. Where you from? Couldn't place it the other night." She replies with "i'm from Canada. and you?" then follows with "Thank you SOO much for lending me the money the other night, I was so nervous asking a complete stranger." I don't see the text for a bit and come back later with "ooo the 51st state. I'm from one of the other 50. tell you which one over a coffee this week. you get to buy Wink "

No reply. In retrospect my reply was pretty weak but I've been experimenting with just trying to get a girl straight out for meeting rather than fuck around on texting apps as they'll do. Looking at this more as a "what could I have done better for next time" rather than any salvage texts, because texting her anything else at this point is needy, unless you guys have a gold nugget. Thoughts?

I got a number from OKC, sent her a txt "Hey this is Tresdus, nice to meet you" And she doesn't reply. Anything I can say?

Also I txted one girl: Let's meet up tuesday @6pm and she hasn't replied either.

Are there any lines to get dead numbers back?

She, is messing around with models.
You should not have tried to prove yourSelf to her, as, all the other valuable men, are already doing that.

I have a feeling, this would work:
"It must have been your Irish bloode
Wink
"

When you stop
Proving your Self,
People prove themselves

Although they're ditzy enough to let it die, take any girl saying her battery being 'dead' as a probable signal she isn't interested.

For E-mail; no subject. No eloquent letter writing. Get to the nitty gritty; just "hey now that its charged wuts ur #"

Caress, kiss her all over the neck and cheeks but she refuses to make out, though she doesn't move away from me. Then she playfully accuses me of being a player, and how I'm very persistent to get what I want. She mentioned she would like to meet again. Great girl, smart and genuine.

After two days I text her to go grab dinner. She said "I finish late and actually wants to stay quiet until the next week, if you don't mind"

Me: "A quiet exotic dinner will be good for you and your music. How about tmr if u prefer?"

Her: "No thanks, really...."

I'm gaming other girls while waiting, but I dont want to give up on this girl yet. Suggestion? My locals friends here keep saying in Paris you cant kiss close on first date unless it's bar/club, and that I'm coming off too strong. But I don't buy that shit.

Girls have other shit going on in their life. Sometimes their responses have nothing to do with your actions.

Remember that every girl has a menstrual cycle. In this case she might have wanted to have a few quiet days because she got her period.

If you want to improve your calibration, I suggest learning when to push and when to coast and let her come to you. You shouldn't be pushing 100% of the time. In this case, she gave you the hint but you didn't listen.

What's the best way to diffuse a chatty texter? I like texting for logistics only, and this girl I'm talking to is quite chatty. I don't want to be rude but also don't want to be her text buddy. I was able to set up a date already.

Here's the situation.

Met this waitress at bar over the weekend, we talked for about an hour, she bought me and my friends a free round. After awhile she slipped me her number on a piece of paper w/o me asking. I hit her up 2 days later and she responded instantly.

Me: hey its X hows it going
Her: Not bad! How was your saturday night?
Me: good. just chilled out. lets grab drinks this week.
Her: sounds good! idk my days off yet but when i do i'll let ya know
Me: ok
Her (2 hours later): it's so nice out!
Me: ya its great u doing anything fun (note: this was where I first succumb to text small talk)
Her: <something boring>. what about you?
Me: Might play catch later
Her: O ya where do you go?
Me: Some field around the corner
Her (24hr later): sorry got busy yesterday!
Her: <pic of us at bar that some photographer took>
Me: damn we look good
Her (2 hours later): <a snap chat selfie of herself>
Her: do you have snap chat haha
Me: I dont. <joke about her selfie>
Me: do you know ur schedule. we should grab drinks wed (note: had to reel her back in here).
<insert a few texts back and forth setting up logistics>
Her (45 mins later): Have you ever played 2048


I want to transition this into a "you'll find more about me when we hang out in person" frame, but I'm not sure of the best way to do this w/o coming off as weird/stiff. This girl is prob 21-22.

The solution is quite easy... you just stop responding to her. Only text her when you want to and if she tries to push the interaction you just stop responding for a few days. When you decide to text her again you hit her with logistic and if she's down she's down if not fuck her next

She replied with shit test of once you prove you're smart enough you'll get my number and more. Then doubled down with you've not made me smile ever once yet.

How do I counter

Yep, definite shit test. I'd probably reply with something like, "ha...ok. ill let the little boys take care of that. im free on (x) night, lets grab drinks"

If she doesn't respond wait until the day of the proposed meet-up, and in the afternoon you could message "confirm....?" Or just don't respond at all if she doesn't respond...next.
