first post, need some advice

[md3sign]

I've been reading the articles on this site for several months now and it's good stuff. I think my game has gone from zero to 1 or 2. Anyway, I need some advice on the most recent "thing".

I met this girl online about 3 weeks ago. We went on a movie date (our first IRL meeting) a couple Friday's ago. It went well, I got some good kino in - the theater had those swinging arm rests so we were sitting shoulders together the whole time and I took her hand at one point. Not sure if that was coming on too strong but it's worked in the past and seemed to this time as well.

I took her home, got a nice hug and kiss closed after a little "go ahead" sign from her. Important note: she's kinda tall and about 1" taller than me - that probably has something to do with everything.

Anyway, I didn't talk to her for a couple days after and then she invited me out this bar with her friends where a band was playing Tuesday night. I think this might be where I went wrong. I said "I'd call her" and I did after the gym that evening but she didn't answer. So I just went to the place because it was on my way home but it turns out the band wasn't playing until much later. All in all I didn't end up going again. Without typing everything out in detail let's just say she flaked on me and that was time #1.

I also initiated conversations online and what not, so probably not being as scarce as I should have been.

Now, we had a second date set up for Friday for almost the entire week. Thursday night I wanted to confirm and got an excuse. I made other plans for Friday but I did end up catching her online. She said she didn't end up doing what she was going to and asked what I was doing. I said I had plans but I asked if she wanted to get together Saturday night. She said "ok give me a call sometime tomorrow".

I talked to her briefly Saturday online but she had to go, and no definite plans. I almost called it off but then she calls me and we set something up for later that night, time and everything. I call and she doesn't answer. BIGTIME flake, #2. I've seen her online since but haven't said anything and she hasn't said anything to me. Whenever we talk she'd be interested and what not but wouldn't initiate the conversations - ever.

So I guess I'm wondering if there's anything I can/should do with this or chalk it up to experience because well, it seems kinda shady.



Also, anyone have any good threads or articles in particular that would be helpful for an aspiring DJ?

edit - I'm definitely a noob at all this so feel free to pick apart everything I could have done differently

Once a flake (bar), twice a flake (thurs - excuse), three times a flake (no answer sat)...are you going to have a fourth?

No, I don't want a 4th. But, I would like to know 3 things:

1) What I did wrong/could have done differently, from the perspective of someone more experienced.

2) If I should write her off completely. For instance, let's pretend (doubtful but if it ever happens with any girl at least I'll be prepared) she wants to hang out out of nowhere. Similar things have happened. If she were to arrange everything and agree to pick me up and basically make up for it, should I agree?

3) Is there any point in talking to her?

Seems to me you already know the answer... you came on too strong and she wasn't that interested = game over.

Also in the future, none of this "I'll call you crap." Pick a definite time and place and her answer is yes otherwise anything else out her mouth means no thanks.

agreed...i do a 3 strike rule...then i drop it all together. i do believe in second chances but she has a short ass leash.

for example...week or 2 later she calls you out of no where to talk. (notice -calls- not IM)

Too much interest (after the date). You tried to get ahold of her a lot... Just a big note, maybe you did everything right, but she just plain wasn't interested

2) If I should write her off completely. For instance, let's pretend (doubtful but if it ever happens with any girl at least I'll be prepared) she wants to hang out out of nowhere. Similar things have happened. If she were to arrange everything and agree to pick me up and basically make up for it, should I agree?
"Hmm...I'm not busy tonight...she's willing to pay the whole shot...mmmmmhmmm".....

3) Is there any point in talking to her?She isn't talking now?! She's not dead, nothing died, she's visibly online, you got ahold of her on the phone, but yet..she still won't talk....back to that couple weeks aloof idea that always comes up..

Thanks, moving on anything I should read besides DJB?

Nothing really, you'll figure it all out in time with experience.
