What to do with something like this?

[RichardTheFrog]

This is not SA. When you present yourself as a handsome stud, you automatically wear a black eye for being the pump-and-dump guy. And then you tell her you are looking for a hookup?? LOL.

Her: I'm looking for a relationship.
You: Same here. When are you free to meet for a drink?

KISS (for now).

Ask for the date.

She asked what I was looking for in response.

I said "take it slow. See where it goes."

She said it wouldn't work. I asked why, and she said because that's what guys say when they're just looking to hook up but don't want to come out and say it.

If he is going to fail building rapport, he will fail whether it happens before the date or during it, but by failing before, within those 5 or 10 messages, he can save himself a lot of time and effort. He can be actively communicating with multiple women simultaneously, versus dedicating an hour or two of his evening to every woman he will repetitively bomb with one at a time, learning one small lesson with each experience. In other words, he can experience those growing pains with more women at a faster pace and with less effort, but it is in this same repetition that he can also learn and tweak his approach until he gets it right.

I agree with the rest of your post except for this. My OLD strategy is simple: Ascertain IF they are attractive enough to invest time into as quickly as possible.

In accordance with my taste, it's entirely a waste of time to invest into a girl before you meet her. 90%+ of the women in person look worse than their pics and do not get a second date with me. Time is best served by double- and triple- booking dates the same night (and at times the same time), which increases the odds that you will find a girl attractive enough in person who merits your time and attention.

Time and attention are your most valuable assets. Invest them well.

I've been in this OLD game too long.

As follows (I'm in blue):

interesting point guru......Hi, How are you ?


No woman in the UK would reply to that on OLD .....therefore i can only assume you are extremely gifted in the looks department


yet strangely i can initiate that same chat on social media absolutely no probs and result in a plate

She asked what I was looking for in response.

I said "take it slow. See where it goes."

from your screenshot dialog, I might have replied as such...

straight:
"Looking to get acquainted, first, coffee?"

comedy:
"Im looking to not have you seduce me on the first date, coffee?"
"We just met, need to be friends before lovers, dont you think?"

be creative, stuff like this elicits a response... if she asks again try "well ultimately the same as you, but we should try a date before we get married!"

I generally try to get her a hahah or lol as well, girls more than anything go nuts over a guy that makes them giggle
(women laugh, girls giggle)
A female wants to be seen and treated as a woman on the outside, and played with like a girl on the inside
