"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

I'm trying to look at this logically but...

... i've gotten no reply.

Went on a date last nite. She said I was good looking, everything she expected, very hot, wanted to meet again, wished she was with me (after I left) and this morning she sent me a text message.

Now I sent her back a message an hour later and have gotten nothing since. Its now 5 hours later. I'm telling myself she might have run out of credit, left her phone somewhere etc etc but another part of me is saying they're just excuses and she isn't interested all of a sudden.

Anybody have any thoughts?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Few questions:
- Did you introduce any sexuality/intimacy last night? (kissing, touch, sexy talk)
- What is the msg she sent you this morning?
- What is the msg you responded with?

You should be dating more than 1 woman and then you won't really care as much about this type of thing. I know that doesn't change your current frame of mind. So my advice for the immediate situation is: sweat it out :)

-Yes I kino'd her a bit and asked her jokingly if she'd like to sit on my lap. She thought I was joking and I winked at her.
-Just about a dream she had.
-Just saying I was after a walk..

Yeah I have a few dates lined up but I like her. I'm spinning a few plates so it won't be as bad as it used to be. So overall I'm not too bothered.

That's why I always call the girl I'm dating, and don't send her text, so that I don't have to sweat about this sort of stuff. The only times I send a txt would be for trivial stuff, like "bring me that DVD tonight" (when we already plan to meet).

Right now you should continue with your day and whatever you do, DON'T text or call her and ask if she's received your previous message. Of course she has, and for some reason, she's sitting on it and giving it some thought. She might even be discussing it with her friends (just like what you're doing now on this forum) and getting advices from them. Call her next time you're free a day or two later and ask her out again. Her response to that would tell you more than what anyone here could guess from such limited information.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Yeah I know what you mean. Texting always leaves people wondering!

You put her in a position of power when you text, used to have it done to me plenty like you described and now i do it to girls, she sends a text, i pretend ive fallen asleep or whatever.

Then she thinks about me loads because i dont respond, i text back the next day saying i fell asleep or whatever, great way to get them alot more intrested.

FALSE ALARM: She just texted me saying she fell asleep.
Haha, this is what I expected. It sounded like this girl was really into you. She would only stop texting you indefinitely if she was a terrible flake. You shouldn't worry after 5 hours, but if she doesn't text back in one week then something's up.

You got your answer, is it clear to you now that your amateur dramatics were over the top?

This is where AFC's start texting girls constantly to "make sure", and become bigger AFC's. Find something else to do, and if she doesn't answer, never ever send a "chase" text.

Dude, don't let a woman get the best of you. The last thing you should worry about is whether a woman has texted you back or not. If you were the prize (or the catch) you would look at the situation totally differently. You'd have so much going for you that you wouldn't let her phase you.

Where is your strength? Are you a man or a wimp. Do you let other people's action control your thoughts and emotions or do you control them? Once you've given her the power that you're actually giving her now, she'll be so over you and swinging to the next branch.

This woman has her own life, and she will get back to you, but until then you can't let her know that is getting to you. In fact, it shouldn't be getting to you. You need to look deep inside yourself and find out why your feeling like this. There is a deeper issue you need to work out with yourself, and she's not to blame.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Stop texting.. my god this is getting ridiculous. I can't say much since I do it too, but I am learning that texting is for p/ssies.

I actually CALLED the girl I wanted to speak to today.. what a concept.

Texting ftl, too unreliable and a bad way of communicating.

This is overthinking/over-stressing things, really, but nice that it worked out.

Since we're talking about texting.. what do you guys think when you CALL a girl, leave a v/m... then 2 hours later she replies with a text message.. something like

"sorry I missed your call.. how are you?"

Well this just happened, and I will ignore it. Ever heard of returning a phone call woman? It would probably take less time then a text..

I guess I should just accept it.. this is the age of texts. But it doesn't mean I have to reply.

Look how crazy dudes on this site are getting over a text not being returned. LOL, so imagine how a female is feeling when we don't return her texts.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

When you call a girl and leave a v/m, but instead of returning your call, she sends you a text 2 hours later saying "sorry I missed your call, how are you?"

How do you act in that situation?

I usually don't leave VMs (habit of mine, nothing to do with gaming women) and I'd try again later.

In your case, I'd ring her again instead of responding to that TXT, so she gets the point of calling you, not TXTing. As you said, it's the age of TXT, so they have that bad habit and don't realise it themselves. You gotta show them what you prefer and see if they follow it.

You ignore her. If she doesn't have enough respect to call you back, she's not worth the trouble. She's only trying to find out how much of a douche you are. If you leave the ball in her court to actually prove herself, then you'll have the upper hand. If she doesn't make another move, she's doing you a favor by cutting you lose, and you can just assume that she has bad taste.

I agree with ignoring her, it will drive her nuts.

After all, I'm supposed to be out with another woman right now, because when this one didn't answer my call, I called up my other plate, and we are out having fun right now.

I know this isn't reality, but it should be. You know what I mean?
