Sometimes girls (who we have been seeing for awhile) will flake or break dates and we have to punish them in some way. In general I simply go MIA for a time, normally electing not to mention what they did wrong directly (it comes off as whining and/or can make a copy of whatever it was that was negative to begin with. It can also lead to resentment). That is, reward good behavior, and simply vanish for bad behavior.
However, in most cases they (hopefully) eventually write to us again, and if they are clever they have a way of getting through to us. No matter how angry I am it normally only seems to take my current best girl a few words to return to my good graces, but I do make her work for it.
Assuming it wasn't a deal-breaker or something major, how much is the right amount to punish a girl? Forcing her to initiate? Forcing her to double-text? Forcing her to triple-text? Forcing her to apologize versus just asking us out? (In other words, not responding unless she meets those conditions). Not writing back for weeks?
They say love never dies of starvation but often of indigestion, but I usually give in. Has anyone ever blown a relationship by not writing back?
Herein lies the key to maintaining the upper hand (next to impossible with young, hot women nowadays).
Your suggestions/experience appreciated.
