Recovering from a bad conversation

[John Winter]

Is it possible to recover from a bad conversation? For whatever reason (and I will start taking notes of these reasons ASAP) sometimes against all your prepping you lose your game. Especially if you're just starting out I imagine.

I managed to snag a girl into a date, which I'm so glad I had the balls to do since she was basically putty in my hands after telling her I was interested, but after we agreed on how to make it happen I blundered because of my phone.
We were swapping pictures and my phone refused to cooperate which frustrated me and basically made me look like a jackass. It clearly killed whatever buzz she was on.

How to recover this?
Normally I think I'd wait for the date, but she's not coming to town for a couple of weeks.

Is this the first time you met? How well do you know her?

If it's the first time you met or you don't know her well then don't worry about it. People place too much value on first impressions. She'll forget about this before too long as long as you don't screw up in the same way. The only way you can screw up with a women you first met is if she doesn't feel anything. If you are a boring blah... that is the only thing that hurts you.

"We were swapping pictures..."

Too much bonding via text. Danger, Will Robinson!

Not that kind of picture obviously lol.

She went to my elementary school and we reconnected by some coincidence over another medium and swapped emails, I remembered she was cute (I can say that without being a pedo because I was like 8) and started unconsciously flirting, and when she brought up how she'd be in town I started consciously flirting, she kept skirting around me without rejecting or going along with me until I put her in a corner and told her I was interested in her (in so many words).

I'll have to remember being direct with a flighty chick tends to have better results.

She was obviously shy and uncomfortable being flirted with, it was a little odd, the entire time it felt like she was brushing me off and uncomfortable and whenever I'd flirt with her she'd change the subject or pretend she didn't read what I had written. Until finally I cornered her and made her respond to a "yes or no" question about attraction with no wriggle room.

It worked too, she practically melted.
She didn't just say yes, she felt she had to quantify how much she meant yes by telling me that she was just thinking about asking me out (yeah right.) and volunteered her face.

And then when I did the same it kept refusing to send and made me look like either a moron, a catfish or some sort of neckbeard.

No, I mean normal pictures. Too much texting makes a woman lose interest very fast because when she sees you are too available she subconsciously perceives you as one of her girlfriends. It's our job to remain mysterious, not overly available, and too busy to be sitting around like her friends texting all day. Again, we are talking about FEMALE perceptions here.

Also, you should NEVER verbalize about attraction, never ask her if she's attracted. Women crave and need a man who is higher value than herself (according to her perception). A woman will never date down, only up. It is impossible for a woman to be attracted to a man who she does not see as higher value than herself.

That means she wants a man who can take her or leave her. If she knows she has you, it's the beginning of the end because it's like a movie when you already know the ending. Why even watch it. Women love to fantasize about "does he like me or not"? They get a thrill from that (just the opposite of us men). She needs to be guessing about you.
