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.

Probably the best course of action.

I'm tempted to send something similar to, "Who is this?" or "New phone- who is this?"

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 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.

Whoa, big mistake. To prevent that bomb from exploding, I'd suggest you just ignore her and change the subject.

If you'll notice GIRLS are better at text game then guys.

Less is more.

I'd wait a week and shoot a restart text. If she doesn't respond keep it moving. Actually, keep it moving anyway. The more numbers you have the more you can practice with them. I get numbers sometimes just to send out Test Texts to see how girls respond with zero care if they don't come through.

So I restarted in like 7 days.

With this restart from Parlay at http://www.rooshvforum.com/thread-6198.h...ht=Restart

Me: I had a dream about you last night
Her: tell me about it
Me: Later
Me: it wasn't g rated

Now she knows my intentions but didn't know what to say next.

Criticize please.

Edit : please excuse my pic posting abilities now I can't delete. I'm an IT retard.

@Cobra

I personally don't like the "I had a dream about you last night" restart text because it feels like I'm being desperate. I usually send implicit restart texts, which is just basically hinting at something that may or may not involve her. Vagina tingles guaranteed.

Me: ok. call me when you're outside, and don't forget the bourbon
Her: huh? What are you talking about?
(10-15 mins later)
Me: Oh wrong person
Her: oh okay, cool..
Me: yeah, what's up?
blah blah
Christian McQueen 路 2014-06-24 16:03:00 路 #736
^Yea, the dream text is a roundabout way.

Be direct when you do restart texts.

After arranging a date, a girl is starting to text about

"how I don't know if I'm flirting or if the guy is flirting with me or if he is being friendly".

I just agree and amplify, making a joke about it, but she keeps on bringing this topic up.

What should I say. I think she is trying to see whether or not I am interested in her, in terms of facing for rejection. I don't know its late.

Tinder Girl:

Short simple plans: "meet me at x at y time." Girl: "Perfect" - This was sunday.

Today at noon I sent a follow up text (confirmation of date): "Hey did i say 7:30 or 8:30"


She takes hours to respond so I'm going to see what happens at 5pm.

Game states I shouldn't care if she doesn't reply and should have other dates lined up (I have the potential to hangout with another girl tonight.)

What would you gents do ? Follow up 2 hours before agreed upon time? Be direct and call her (sounds a bit desperate), or shrug and hit up the other girl that might want to hangout tonight?
CJ 路 2014-06-25 22:21:00 路 #739
^ If you completely didn't care, then what would be the point? I'd go with option B, and hit up another girl.

Personally, I'd have said, keep your Weds night free, and then this afternoon said meet me here at this time, but what do I know? I'm not really skilled with internet chicks either, but I'd imagine your flake rate is going to be way higher with someone that has zero invested in your interactions with her.

As a side note, I'm really pleased to see where this topic has gone.

Actually we've hungout a few times with mutual friends, never hungout alone.

Why are you pissed ?

I've seen chicks texting whilst driving, changing nappies and wired up in the emergency room. If they don't message back almost straight away, she's already decided you're not her alpha.

Don't contact her again after that first message.

My best guess is she'll get in touch with a weak excuse for the flake after some random interval when she's bored and needing attention due to some minor setback in her life.

If you really, really want to get the bang: the best way to play this is to meet / bang another DTF girl, and introduce her to her through your mutual friends.

If you want to twist the knife in, when someone asks how you two met, (there's always one), you publicly call her out in a charming way and say "Funny story.... I'd lined up a date with X but she flaked and I had a damn good night planned out so figured, what the hell, I'd do it anyway, and - bam - ran into Y and instant connection. Real fun girl. Maybe X has matchmaking powers."

This way X sees you weren't invested in her for your happiness and ability to have a good time.

If you've got killer frame, raise a glass to X with one hand groping Y.

See we barely said anything to each other, waiting hours to text each other back. No convo texts, just setting up the date, then the follow up text. I think its more a sign of ADD and something better coming along.

So if she texts back, should I restart the cycle, and tell her she's gotta make it up to me ? Or just ignore ?

You're probably right, but here's one I came up with:

"did you die?"

Works well for a couple reasons:
1. Calls her out, but OBVIOUSLY she didn't die, points out that she's been rude.
2. Is sort of funny but still makes it clear what I'm serious about getting across.
3. Almost ALWAYS gets a response.

Funny you mention that, I actually send out "so did you die on me?" to girls who flake a few days later. You're 100% right, usually get a response (typically followed by some lame ass excuse)

Yeah, she has no real reason to be invested in you, unless you dominate the social group of your mutual friends and she knows for sure you're high value. In which case, she wouldn't be flaking.

Send the one text. If you don't hear back, don't send more: this just makes you look 'needy' (best case) or gets you filed as a stalker / creeper (worst case). If you haven't heard back after a couple of hours - an acceptable amount of time, given women's phone obsessions - make plans with another girl.

On the off-chance she suddenly changes her mind at the last minute and texts you later, you get to casually say in your words: "Thought you'd flaked. No go tonight. Made other plans. No hard feelings."

It shows you're not angry about it, (keeps her open to suggestion), but you're not sitting around waiting for her to entertain you either. You want her to see that the fun follows you, not her.

Quote:So if she texts back, should I restart the cycle, and tell her she's gotta make it up to me ? Or just ignore ?

Up to you, but dial down your interest level.

Quote:HAHA holy shit that would be epic. Sounds like alot of work to get that all aligned.

Yeah, I don't know the reality of your social circle or how easy you can get another girl, but I find people and groups have predictable patterns of behaviour and conversation, so it's not hard to stack the dominos to fall the way I want if I set my mind to it. Chicks thrive on drama. I've learnt how to give it to them.

Why it's twisting the knife: Girls have all been trained by the media and girl power to view themselves as the star of a movie, (classic narcissism), which means everyone else is just supporting players to them.

When I set up the dominos to topple this way, she's faced with the realisation that she's not the star of the movie, ("Do I go on the date with this guy or not?"), but is now a supporting player in the movie of you and the other girl. You've reduced her existence to a funny anecdote. Her hamster will do the rest: "How I met your mother? Funny story kids, I'd set up a date with this other girl... Honestly, I can't even remember her name now...."

Had a chick flake on me yesterday without even calling or texting. I think I saw her at the library today ( I think, cant remember her face that much Laugh) she just sent me this long ass text


"Hey my fault I didn't answer yesterday I felt like shit cuz I have a cold and stayed in bed after class. Meant to tell you earlier but I forgot lol "

I have lost bangs for being a dick after a girl flakes on me, so opinions are welcomed.

What a bullshit excuse.

You can guarantee that bitch was typing, swiping and scrolling on her iPhone, iPad and Laptop when she "was in bed", but didn't respond.

Personally, I wouldn't respond, then in a week send her the "wrong" text such as:

"yea I'll see u around 8 at (fill in popular bar)"

This will send her hamster into overdrive, she'll probably text you, then you say "wrong person. watsup w u"

Then take it from there, never mentioning the flake.

When you don't react to a flaked text it does a couple of things:

1. Shows she's not even a blip on your radar so you can't even be bothered to respond.
2. The "wrong" text puts in her mind that you have other options and gets her intrigued again, ESPECIALLY since you didn't chase her.

I don't know where you live, but here in the US, much of game with chicks now days, is merely out not-caring the most.

Millenial girls are terrified of ever needing anyone who might then possibly abandon them, so their defense mechanism is to always go on and on about never needing anyone as a form of empowerment that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The other day, my nephew was watching an old Disney film, 'Candleshoe'), where the main character, (a young Jodie Foster), is an orphan raised by uncaring foster parents for the government money.

She gives the now standard 'It's safer to not caring about others and keeping them at a distance because then you don't get hurt' speech to the kindly old grandmother figure in the film.

Nowadays, this would be considered Female Empowerment. 35 years ago, when the film was made? The music swells mournfully and the grandmother looks at her with a sense of abject sadness and pity, understanding the lack of love and connection in the child's life as a tragedy, not empowerment.

35 years ago, this was presented as a damaged child. After 20+ years of helicopter parenting by narcissistic parents, damaged is the new normal.
