Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Ok, so should i contact her on thursday to confirm the dinner time for friday then?Mantis Toboggan said:Your problem is this - Somewhere along the line, you let a girl (or multiple girls) get into your head. And now, to make up for it, you read WAY WAY WAY too much PUA material.
So now, every time you interact with a girl, you think of it in PUA terms "Gave away frame"..."Shyt test"..."Too available"...
You texted the girl and you asked her to meet you. She said Friday. And now you're thinking about canceling on her for Friday just to "get your frame".
You gotta loosen up. If this b*tch doesn't like you, then you'll find another one. But whether she likes you or doesn't like you will have NOTHING to do with these gay little games you try to play.
People have already warned you about this in your other threads....By the way, you should look at the other threads you've started. You're like Sosuave.com's version of The Heartbreak Kid.
Loosen up.
Do whatever the hell you want.big weezy said:Ok, so should i contact her on thursday to confirm the dinner time for friday then?
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

In my experience you can't build attraction thru text game. But you can kill it.
You had a great first date. But you're scaring her away with your needy, overly verbose texts.
Keep it calm, cool, and casual. You already have attraction (though you're losing it). Don't try to game her over text. Keep it strictly to logistics. Save the gaming for in person.
