Text her tmrw:

You: I have plans sat.

She'll text back some bullshit but don't respond. Hit her up next week Tues or Wed and setup plans again. If she flakes that time, then delete.

She had another option and flaked. Doesn't mean you won't get the bang, BUT you're a busy playboy and Sat night is PRIME night. Do not hang with her Sat. Your DHV will drop even more.


I recently had a similar situation occur.

Had plans to meet this girl for drinks tonight (tuesday). On Sunday night she texts me this:

Her: Hey would you be up for meeting up maybe next weekend or something? I have soooo much work this week.
Me (Next morning): I have plans this weekend.


She hasn't responded. Do I...

A) Next her. Let her back into the fold if she texts me.
B) Hit her up in a few days trying to set something up again.
C) Send a feeler text for what tonight's plans are (e.g. "We on for tonight? If you got too much work lets do next tuesday"). After all, she didn't actually cancel...

I met this girl a week and a half ago and have only texted her for scheduling this first date, so we're losing some steam here. Although I'm not a huge fan, I'm thinking something along option C might be best given the circumstances and her (presumably) waning interest.

One of my client's secretary, also his niece. Saw her once quickly before, got back to the office and told my boss she's cute. My boss went last week, he told me the client (her uncle) brought it up and mentioned to her "you know that good looking tanned guy who came in once? He thinks you're good looking", and then my boss asked her if she's single, she said yes, he told her he's gonna get me to call her. I never did because that's fukin weird and desperate shit.

Fast forward to couple days ago. I go to drop something off. She's there. Small talk with her, she's showing good body language. I mention my boss came in and told her I'd call her, made a joke out of it, we cracked a laugh. She was acting stupid saying he didn't tell her anything, probably just told her uncle. So I changed the subject but she kept bringing it back up asking me stuff like "teehee what did he say to youuu". I made it seem like it's nothing, just basically said that he cramped my style lol.

Then told her I gotta see her boss to make sure what I dropped off was all good and dandy. She said he's in a meeting, then another meeting after. I can either wait or come back. I acted like it's important, "umm shit, I can't wait I gotta take off. Hmmm". So she tells me to give her my number and she'll call me later when he's done and sees the stuff.

Couple hours later I get a text from her cell phone (not her office phone) saying "Hey this is X, Y still hasn't had the chance to see the stuff. He's been so busy but I'll let you know when he does though".

I say Cool thanks. then more small talk. How's your day going, blabla.

She responds with boring shit like "Goood and urs?". As I'm keeping the convo alive, she asks me my background, my age, etc.

Then I say "Will Y kill me if I ask you to hang out sometime?"
Her: hahahahaha
Her: No he's not like that.
Her: *typing...* (then stops typing and doesn't send the message)
Me: Just making sure. What are you up to Saturday?
Her: I have to work then a dinner with some gfs. U?
Me (5 hours later): I'm a shitty texter I'm sorry.
Me: Let me know when you're free. We'll go out and I'll be a perfect gentleman

No reply. this was Tuesday. I obviously am expecting you pimps to say don't text her until she gets back to you, but let's be honest girls rarely let you know when they're free lol. That was a mistake on my end. I feel like texting her tomorrow saying "Come out for drinks after your dinner".

Input?

Few general guidelines to help going forward, cause I can tell you like this girl since the nervousness and over-analysis is coming through:

No more self deprecation
No apologies
No try hard selling yourself i.e. "perfect gentleman"


If you're gonna chat, then chat about something to get her emotions going or build connection, not just small talk (obviously this is preferable over phone or in person)

Approach/contact other girls to help with abundance mentality and get your thoughts off her temporarily

If she doesn't get back to you and it's been a while, re-initiate with something casual, then segway into date, not just out of the blue request.

Remember you have to lead with confidence, if you want her to join you, have a plan for the night.

I have to admit I suck at sexualizing texts. I always have. I dont know why, I just dropped $99 on another "text guide", shoot me. My whole thing is texting for logistics and to build comfort level, but I rarely get the titty shots, the abrupt dick pic never yielded anything. But I still want titty pics.. maybe I should just keep going for no's.

Met this chick during the day in front of a lecture hall. Number crunched, set up date for later that week where got frozen yogurt and bounced back to my place. Drank a bit and got make out. Hit her up for 5 days later for movie and wine at my place, she stayed over and banged in morning (but she left after 10 minutes, though she apologized). Called her today and agreed to meet Tuesday but then she sent this:

[Image: FdTaLxB.png]

I have ignored it, going to message her tomorrow morning with the excuse that my phone died while volunteering at the homeless shelter tonight (true). I want to just get her back to my place again essentially, and probably take a walk to go smoke a bowl in a park, but should I just say that or keep giving her bullshit? The chick also lives alone at a place in town, so should I suggest going there? I'd be hesitant but I dunno.

I'd ordinarily just proceed to kicking it at my place, but this chick leaving mid-sex and asking exclusively what the deal is every time is throwing me off.

Met this chick online. She gave me her number and said we should meet. The text exchange:

Yesterday:
ME (10:26am): Hey it's Floss from MM. Don't have a pic of myself. So sorry to fuck up your OCD oranizational system
*She asked me to text my full name and a picture. The site has pictures.

HER (10:26am): bahahah Smile :0 it's totally ok.

ME (10:40am): So how long are you here for?

HER (10:50am): I'm not sure yet maybe till Friday !

ME (10:59am): Let's get something to drink before you leave. I can impress you some more by reciting wu tang as modern prose

HER (11:07am): bahahah Smile for sure I'm so down!

ME (12:28pm): How's tomorrow afternoon sound

HER (12:30pm): sounds good to me Smile

ME (12:42pm): Cool gimme yo addy

HER (12:46pm): I'm not there right now I'm out eating so I will send it to you when I get back! I don't know it by heart.

NEXT DAY:
ME (10:07am): Still down to kick it later?
---

So she's shown decent interest and was responding promptly, but then went cold for no apparent reason. When I encounter a situation such as this, how should I handle it? Was it a good move to text her again this morning? If she doesn't get back to me, should I forget about her? What's the game plan?
Wahawahwah 路 2013-12-02 12:59:00 路 #145
Chick either looking for validation/has buyer's remorse/into you and wants to know if you're desperate for just sex.
Maintain plausible deniability at all times.
You evaded it well the first time, if u do ignore the text tonight, do NOT give her some bullshit reason. Flip the script.

Ruthie --- oh nothing blah blah

You're asking the questions, your doing the chasing, you're apologising for whatever(smart-ish excuse but still, an apology), you're asking her if she's okay wid a certain. You also suggested "impressing" her. Completely playing in her frame.

She's ignored your text.
Either walk away from this, or send her the place and time when its convenient for you.

Eg - "XYZ bar. 7 p.m".
THAT'S IT.

You're the man. You make the decisions. If she can't make it, move on. Plenty of other girls out there. No need to apologise for small things. Work on your abundance mentality. Also, YOU are the prize. Let her try and impress you, not the other way round.

I ended up going with this.

And I did bang her, but she left mid-sex while repeating a bunch of times the excuse that "I have to go study!" I think she wasn't expecting sex to happen and tripped out a bit.

I did pull out and stick my dick in her face like 10 minutes into sex which was probably a tactical error, haha. She stopped me from putting on another condom after that.

Sharkie is giving good advice. I would have just sent a dick pic after she ignored the texts, but if you follow his advice, she might actually show up(though that is a longshot). If she doesn't, just hit on any hot chicks at the bar and you can still have a good time whether she shows up or not. Never let your night be ruined because a chick flakes on you.

I don't really see a difference between "hows tomorrow afternoon" and "let's hang out tomorrow afternoon", they are both trying to work out logistics, which is what texting is good for.

So where did I go wrong exactly? I thought it was going well and she was showing interest. Like, what is going through her mind to send me all those texts and smilies and shit and then just ignore me? Like, why waste both of our time?
Sonsowey 路 2013-12-02 21:06:00 路 #151
Girls are fickle, you can't account for their mood all the time. Many girls also just always communicate with smilies and simply responding to another person's texts doesn't mean you want to date them.

If she flaked just move on, don't get hung up on it. There's more girls out there than you could ever bother with, don't waste time on one who's not responding to you.

This is not the thread for it (Thread 1 OR Thread 2 )for text analysis or strategy, but anyway, here you go.

Yesterday:
ME (10:26am): Hey it's Floss from MM. Don't have a pic of myself. So sorry to fuck up your OCD oranizational system
*She asked me to text my full name and a picture. The site has pictures.

She asks for your name and picture. Subtle way of making you jump through the loops.
You jump through one, apologize for not jumping through the other, and then tease/label her.
Stereotyping her is fine so long as it is not done obviously.


HER (10:26am): bahahah Smile :0 it's totally ok.

Bahaha one more beta scalp. Its totally ok??? She just sidestepped your attempt to label her, and focused on the apology instead.

ME (10:40am): So how long are you here for?
Why the "So"? Drop the "So".
Always drop the "So".
Unless you're going to ramble on about a random obviously fake event (such as Barney's True Story storytelling.)


HER (10:50am): I'm not sure yet maybe till Friday !

Moar boar wants more..attention.


ME (10:59am): Let's get something to drink before you leave. I can impress you some more by reciting wu tang as modern prose

"lets...before you leave." No. You're not her boyfriend. And the impress you part is really cringey and dorky.
Let me impress/serenade/(stereotypical romantic activity)....screams BETAAAAAA. Its fine *occasionally* for a woman you've fucked multiple times and are truly in love with, but this.. nah.
Exception - If you had said let me impress you with my dick, its kinda-sorta fine, because you're showing a distinct lack of respect for her or societal norms (except, if she smells beta blood, sexual harassment / shaming WILL follow). Congruence is crucial.

"Im not sure, maybe till Friday"
"cool. buy me a drink tomorrow afternoon, and I'll send you my picture."....this sound better?


HER (11:07am): bahahah Smile for sure I'm so down!

Bahaha I'm so down ! Free drinks, plus all the attention from the guys at the club, plus beta fawner!

On a serious note -- look at how she's using "Bahaha" again?
Most people have a standard way of texting Haha(heh/hehe/hahahah etc), but the more you challenge a girl, the more she will use different variants of this. If you see the same laugh repeated in text over and over again, beware. Chances are, she's not taking you seriously.


ME (12:28pm): How's tomorrow afternoon sound

HER (12:30pm): sounds good to me Smile

this is fine

ME (12:42pm): Cool gimme yo addy

NO.
This is a girl you JUST texted your name and FACE to. And you're asking her for an address?
Rapey/needy/beta/stalker.
What do you need her address for? This is not prom, she can make it by herself to any place you ask.
Really bad move.


HER (12:46pm): I'm not there right now I'm out eating so I will send it to you when I get back! I don't know it by heart.

duh.

NEXT DAY:
ME (10:07am): Still down to kick it later?
Still down for rape/needy behavior/(yet another)stalker?
Unsalvageable for the near future at least.


See, you really need to come out of the romantic/idealized mindset.
Its absolutely manly to do these things(OCCASIONALLY) for a girl you have fucked, vetted, fallen in love with.
For random girls off online websites, you're better of sticking to the purely logistics for now.
Don't ask questions. Just tell her what you want to do and where you want to meet, if its really uncomfortable for her, she'll say no or suggest an alternative.
Always better to be slightly a dick rather than a "gentleman".

Also, read up on plausible deniability.

Good luck

I'm gonna give this thread a try.
I got pulled a girl on okc. She's a thin little stoner chick. that works at a mattress store.
we texted. set a date up tonight.
I thought she would flake but she texted me back.

" No that's not crazy lol. I got the bed thing on lock at my house. Nice tempur pedic with the robot base. So where are we drinking tonight? "

I want some strange and I feel like she might be a freak.

should I have her come to a cozy couch bar I like?

ask where she lives and hope I can pick a bar closer to her.?

or
try to get her to invite me over and drink at her place?

95% of the time this is a good sign of a slutty little drug user who should be a ons opportunity.

5% of the time she is a psycho or this is a trap to get you drunk/drugged at her place, then rob you with her boyfriend there.

The odds are on your side plus she has a nice bed. Pick a bar very near her place--easiest option. However, I would not leave my drinks unattended in her presence.
