Me: Hey Russian it was nice meeting you yesterday. (Callback humor because I told her she looked like she was from Russia.)
Her: Yes how was drinks with your friend?
Me: Went to a bar by his place, was good seeing him. Did you wind up going to the _____
Her: Noo I just went home after, I figure I'll come back next week.
Me: I'm out running a few errands. Are you uptown at all today?
Her: No I went home.
Me: OK, perhaps next week then. I know a couple of places you'll like.
I don't think this was bad. She asked a question, tried to build up a bit of rapport, and so on. Now, how should I re-initiate this? I think a feeler text in a day or so and then asking her what her plans are seems alright. If she answers the feeler I might just call.

Almost got the bang but no cigar. So like I was saying she went back to her hometown but she visits here frequently. And we left it open agreeing to stay in touch when she comes to town.
Well I have waited a couple of weeks and want to reengage to maintain a little contact. Nothing too heavy just keep in touch so we can make plans. So far not so good though. I texted her couple of days ago and this is what has happened so far.
Me: Hey there this is that sexy man from ____. (trying to open with something flirty.)
(almost exactly 24 hours later)
Her: Hey there! HRU?
(I waited about 12 hours)
Me: Young kid with a dream…just got off the driving range…what are you up to? (trying to get her to engage)
Its been two days and no response. I know the goal is to get her to chase me. But I am not getting there. What would you guys recommend? I know that my texts aren’t the best but that’s all I have. I cannot just create witty banter out of nothing. Especially when she is giving me nothing. Is this a case of just cut my losses and move on? Or should I just tell her to contact me when she comes out? Or my natural friend said he is a big fan of confrontation. And said to just send a humorous text like “you are breaking up with me already?” I didn’t like that one. Or maybe just ask to set up a meeting date and time. What would you guys do? I want to be aloof but if we are both aloof there is nothing to go on. lol

This is a girl I had a mini-relationship with that I would have liked to continue banging but she ultimately called things off. The whole "I don't see this in the long run" bit so she decided to end things with me (was about a month ago now). We dated for about 7 months and things ended on her terms with her gradually going dark on me then finally having a phone conversation or two about her not seeing us going any further whatever. Anyway she got word about a knee injury of mine and sent me a text today:
her(12:49pm): Sorry too hear about your knee! Wtf! How is this just coming forward?!
me(1:33pm): 6 weeks of pt wasnt making it better so I saw a specialist
her(1:35pm): I can't believe it didn't figure it out
her(1:36pm): *Pt
her(1:41pm): You must have been in so much pain early on
I recognize trying to parlay this casual reconnect into a bang may be a touchy event so I'd like a little advice.

Then whenever she responds, you should say something along the lines of, "maybe you could come entertain me, we can catch up"
Plausible deniability. No reason not to take advantage of your present situation. Keep it short, she's giving you good responses, may be interested.

She knows I'm still moving around until I actually get the surgery. She is messaging me upon finding out that I will be getting surgery in the near future.

I saw her at whole foods today and she was friendly. She said " the hair on my neck stands up sometimes when I come here cause I know I'm going to see you" We broke up about a month ago as she wanted to date a long time ex.
We were in the parking lot saying goodbye....and we hugged. I said "Hey" and went in for the kiss....she stopped me rather emotionally and said "No No" I just smirked at her , looked in her eyes and said "You look beautiful" She said thank you. I said "have a good weekend " and walked off.
SHe just text me " Robreke it is hard enough resisting being too friendly and comfortable around you when I see you as it is...I truly wish you wouldn't try to kiss me like that when you see me."
She did sleep with him toward the end of our relationship I know this though she's never admitted it. Though her and I were never exclusive but working in that direction. I'd kind of like to say "well your current boyfriend didn't respect the fact that you and I were going out apparently.....that is assuming you told him we were"
Don't want to be too smart aleck in my response...but tell her it's hard for ME to resist kissing her after the hot relationship we had. WHat's a good text comeback?

Also...when ive bumped into her a few other times post breakup...she has seemed nervous and not very open.
I would like to respond but not come off as apologizing....her text made it sound like I did something wrong in her mind.

You didn't do anything wrong, she stopped you, and you stopped.
That's it. Don't ever apologize for that, it'll make you look weak in her eyes.
She feels nervous and not open because she still has attachment/emotions towards you, I guess a bit intimidated. It's like a sick feeling in your stomach when you see an old love.
Honestly I'd put this on ice for a bit and reach out to her later, emotions are still high it seems.
Hate to sound condescending but you it sounds like you're still stuck on this girls a bit.
In the meantime focus on these other girls you're dating.

I just texted her "Ok Kate...have a good weekend"
She texted 15 minutes later...."I think if you were the person I was seeing you wouldn't want me kissing other people"
"Other people" she writes. Haha. Like I'm a random person in line at mcdonalds. I know what she's saying but still....
I am SOOOO tempted to text her something like " So you didn't kiss ( or fuck ) someone else when we were seeing each other?"....or even something subtle and sarcastic like "Yeah...when we were seeing each other...I guess you never kissed......anyone else."
I suppose the best thing is just to go no contact for a few weeks ( my plan )...but damn it's tempting to respond with something else to her last text...especially when I know she was banging her ex the last few weekends we were seeing each other when she was driving down to her parents...

Girl you banged a few times and haven't talked in 2 weeks, do a restart text
(Note: She told me this before, we got matched on tinder, I had better options, I follow up, then she says the same thing)
We match on OKC get her number, then bang a few times.
Then this happened:
Kaotic: Did you die of Ebola or what ?
Plate: I did
Kaotic: well that's boring, what else is new ?
Plate: I met someone.
Response:
1. Radio Silence.
2. Well that's boring.
3. Right on, good luck.
4. Well when you're bored of him, I'll talk to you then.
I'm going to go radio silent on her, however I'm curious to what other players would do in this situation.

I direct opened a girl on the sidewalk a few days ago. Told her I thought she was cute. Asked her if she wants to get coffee sometime and she said "maybe" chatted a few minutes and had good eye contact. Number close.
texted her within 30 minutes and she texts back within like one minute.
Then...today texted her how her week was going and she texted this within 2 minutes:
"Yeah been pretty busy with Christmas coming. Robreke don't take this the wrong way but I'm not wanting to be in any sorta relationship with you other than a friend"
How to respond? She texts back quick.....maybe it has something to do with the direct open? Ideas?

I texted her back "who said anything about a relationship...haha. that's cool with me. I just thought you seemed cool and it would be nice to get to know each other over coffee or a drink one day."
She immediately texted back " Okay awesome the main reason is because I am 18 " ( holy shit !)
I am early 40s but look a lot younger. She seems game to meet..for coffee I guess since drinks would be out....
7:44 AM (plausible excuse, remember she is trying to see me though)
