yuup
Texted her that and she just asked me if I was gay. Ugh I think I'm gonna take her off the list
I sent a girl a text saying
"Hey, this is Simon from pool party"
Replied in 15 min " Hey" but couldn't answer since I was working and I didn't reply the rest of the day. Had an ok chemistry with her like 7/10. Reengage and how?
I was thinking just calling like at night instead of text.
Also if a girl doesnt reply to first text, do you kill that lead or try some other time?

"You need to be spanked"
Girl I number-closed via day game last week. Sent a couple of messages- she said yes to meeting for a drink. Sent a feeler about her schedule- then radio silence. She sent this novel of a text today-
Her: Good morning. I'm sorry I've been so mia and haven't responded to your texts. I don't want to leave you hanging. You're very sweet and it was nice talking to you the other day but I'm just not interested in dating right now. I'm sorry!

"k"
Or don't respond.

You've got nothing to lose at this point. So I'd go non-sequitur all the way. Something like "..." or that Kitty someone posted last week laughing.
I wish I could find a text emoticon for this:

I just wouldn't respond. She's obviously not interested, no point in making further contact.

To add onto this. To respond with even a "k" or saying something funny/insulting shows you care way to much. You'll also be feeding her ego.
No response is always the way to go when a woman specifically states no interest.

I went ahead and called them both and set up dates throughout the whole week. If a girl doesn't respond initial text, call her, there's a good chance she didn't see it ( in my case she never did and was excited that I called) or gives you a chance to close the deal with lukewarm leads.
^I feel like that's quite the exception. Girls are fucking glued to their phones an are 100% on top of their texts. They know when they get messages, who it's from, and how much they care to text back. Ever spend an evening with a girl who is chatting with her girlfriend(s) back and forth? Phone is either in her hand or right by her side the entire time and they check it insistently and will text back immediately. Their text-game trumps ours 9 times out of 10.

I txted to this chick: "Hey its___, sexy mofo from___, save my #"
Her: "who?"
A shit test IMO, what the best response to this bullshit?
^That text is supposed to be used when you immediately get the number and you're still standing with the girl.
1. The text is tongue in cheek, the girl laughs and now you won't have the issue you're having now.
2. A cute girl could give her number out multiple times in a night. When you do this WITH her (sending the text after she puts her number in), then she won't forget you.
To answer your question: where did you meet her?
J.B 路 2014-06-23 15:34:00 路 #722
School, cold approach.
So she was sober (maybe ha).
You: 'give the phone back to (whatever her name is)'
or
You: 'amnesia is a terrible thing'
or
You: (you can drop a detail or two of where you met, something that stands out)
but, it does seem off. She could be sitting beside her boyfriend and he's like who the hell is that (it's happened to me), and that's why she responded like that etc.
If she doesn't respond to your next text, I'd just eject.
J.B 路 2014-06-23 16:09:00 路 #724
Thanks bro. Yeah, she had a "bitchy/preppy" tone when I talked to her and # closed. My guess is she's looking for attention from guys or stringing them along. I'll try the 2nd one.
Also, don't use 'save my #'.
That line I came up with is specific for a reason.
"it's joe blow the sexy muthafucka u met at the library"
Done. Saying "save my #" is almost as though you think she wouldn't save your number which comes across needy. Plus it's redundant. Expect her to save the number.

Oh. I thought I saw it being used in one of your examples, but good to know I'll stop using it...

Probably the best course of action.
I'm tempted to send something similar to, "Who is this?" or "New phone- who is this?"

I go more by G Manifesto's policy of just calling. I'll send the first text so they know it's me and leave it alone till the next day to call them. When it's a girl who is a strong lead, it seals the deal right up, and if it's a lukewarm girl, I tease her a little and build more comfort to ask out. I must be the dullest kid when it comes to texting, but I do hate it with a passion, don't have time for it and hate waiting for a reply. I don't know how much it hurts my game or not though...

Met this chick at a bar over the weekend. Setting up first date...
her: Don't get cocky
me: I never stopped
her: You need to be taken down a peg or two
me: many have tried
her: And have failed obviously
me: maybe the 5'4" asian chick will be the one to do it
her: If i decide to keep you around then I absolutely would
I want to say something like "what makes you think I want to stick around?" but can't decide if that's too beta of a response.

No. You're getting into her frame. Send a Pusheen or this

Your goal is to get her out and bang her nut to win some contest in sassiness
Virtus 路 2014-06-23 21:08:00 路 #732
also you jus dun effed up. Cause you revealed that to you she's just a 5 4 Asian chick. Which isn't terribly flattering. Even hoes like to feel special
