You should have used "lol" or "haha" more in your texts. IME, they are a lot more effective than smileys..

Oh hells no.

Try text her saying: "Hey I need some advice for my friend's birthday, I'm bad with gifts for my girl friends"

Younger women need bait when it comes to texting so you need to get a hook in the text, get her thinking that she wants to contact you. Kinda dumb but hey, we're hunters.

Think like an email spammer.

This is a perfect example of how fucked up male/female relations have become, especially with texting and facebook. Can you imagine how many messages a hot female with 2000+ friends must receive in her inbox? Not to mention the numerous wall posts from her friends reminding her how wonderful and gorgeous she is. Live. Laugh. Love. <3

And, on top of that, you have to deal with women that actually believe that a man that shows too much interest is bad for her. So these girls basically go through a number of meaningless relationships with guys that are only mildly interested in them and find themselves 30, single and wondering where the good men are.

OP, I feel your pain. Here's what I'd do, though. If she's in your same social circle, figure out where she'll be one night, preferably a dressy event. Invite a few of your friends, including two very hot women, to go there. Say hi (genuinely and with a big simile) if you see her and ignore her and have fun. If she comes by, you're golden. If not, she never cared for you and never will. You won't change her mind.

Once a girl smells desperation, it is done. Don't even try to get this girl back, you'll only be wasting your time. Seriously, don't text her again. Learn from this and move on. You lost this fish, cast your reel and catch another one. Don't contact this girl. Forget about her. You will find another one. Your first text should have been something like: (do not try this now, it's over with that girl. This is just an example) What were you saying - you were going to chase me for 3 months? I'm not THAT easy! BTW, I prefer candy over flowers... The above displays that you're playful and confident. You turned the whole thing around - she's chasing you. This will be unbelievably attractive to most women, especially beautiful women who aren't used to someone turning the tables on them. Hot chicks are used to guys kissing their butts and tripping over themselves to please her. Don't be that guy. I know, I know - it sounds like you're an arrogant bastard. Girls love arrogant bastards - they really do. Why do you think girls are so crazy about bad boys? Confidence - You have to be the prize, not the other way around (she'll text you back with many LOLs. This is a good sign. After 3 hours or more, you reply with this: ) I've got some things to do this weekend, but maybe we can meet next week for a drink. I know this really cool place. Wed, Thurs are good for me. This shows you're a busy guy with plans. You also have a place planned out to take her to (find a place beforehand). Girls love a guy with a plan. You're also making her fit into your schedule, not the other way around. (A few days later - a few days before you go for drinks/coffee with her - you text her with) Hey, I met your twin yesterday. That wasn't you, was it? This demonstrates that other girls of her caliber are willing to talk to you. This will create intense jealousy on her part - women are always in competition with each other, even if that 'other' was someone you made up. She barely knows you, yet all of a sudden she's magically attracted to you, if only because she's competing with 'the twin'!

This was good and funny...

It's confidence or lack of confidence that the girl will pick up on, not the words you blurt out. You do have to greet her with a smile and make immediate eye contact when you're in front of her. Keep eye contact going 75% of the time when you're talking to her. Keep the conversation light. The more you can make her laugh, the better. Come up with a nickname for her, this will create a sense of familiarity between you two, even though you only met 20 minutes ago. It has to be about something you noticed about her - "You're studying volcanoes? Okay, Volcano Girl, what do you know about Pompeii?" Talk to her for several more minutes after getting her phone #, don't just split after she gives you her number. And when you text her (not the same day), use the nickname you came up with in the message. "So, Volcano Girl...blah blah blah blah blah"
Great advice. Your SF's dating guru!!

So I sent her a message the first day and this is practically how it went. (I met her this past Friday)

(FRIDAY)
Boy:So how long will I have to chase you before I can take you to dinner?
Girl: we will see
smile.gif

Boy: well I hope that I dont have to wait three months before I take you out to dinner...but if I have to I will
smile.gif

Girl: awwwww
smile.gif

Boy:
smile.gif

Boy: (6 hours later) what are you up to tonight?
Girl: no response

Saturday
Boy: have a nice day at work
smile.gif

Girl: thank you
smile.gif

Boy: how was your day sweetheart?
Girl:no response

Sunday: I did not text her nor did she text me

Monday:
Boy: Hope you have a great day
smile.gif

Girl: no response
Boy
frown.gif
ten hours later) so is this whole ignoring my messages part of the me chasing you part, not that I mind being ignored and all,
smile.gif
I just dont want to bother you
Boy: and I did not say that to be rude in any way, I just dont want to bother you
Girl:no reply

So clearly, I came on too strong and I guess I turned her off. Thing is I really want to get to know this chick because she seems like a good girl, so I faced stalked her and found out she had 2500 friends, I was like WTF, but she does work for some trainer who is supposed to be good but whatever. So I obviously did not add her because she is clearly ignoring me I suppose, she seemed into me when I met her friday though and I think I just screwed myself with the texting thing (******* KIDS AND THEIR TEXTING, I NEVER LIKED THIS **** TO BEGING WITH) so I want to recover and need advice. Shes the first chick Ive talked to in about 6 months thats my age, the otehr girls were about 6 years my senior. Im 20, so I think we would get along, I at least want a chance with this girl. So if you guys could give me some advice as to how to approach her again, via text I believe is best, I was thinking of trying to establish communication again in a week, probably this coming Monday. What do yall think. Thanks guys.


im sorry but girls like this are teases and in college they are a dime a dozen trust me i had same experience as you. weird, attention whores, just really unstable mentally. usually are loners and dont really have other girlfriends other than some weird guys.

Indeed.

I feel bad for the OP. I've been there; not quite as bad, but almost. You blew it, move on.

I love that we have to tell people how to pretend to have a personality.

Big Pun, you're really funny!

If you aren't too busy, do you think maybe it's possible that you find time to have dinner with me on Saturday night? I mean, if you don't have anything else to do- if you don't want to have dinner, then how about lunch? No? How about coffee then? Please text me back asap whatever you choose! You're really handsome and funny and I don't normally get a chance to date guys of your caliber- I mean, we've just met and it's kind of soon but I think you're the best guy I've ever met, or am ever going to meet. When I talked to my mom about you last night, I told her I hoped we could get married. LOL! Sorry, hope that doesn't sound desperate or crazy, I'm just kidding hehe
biggrin.gif
. What color wedding dress would you like? Anyway, we can talk about all of this at dinner/lunch/coffee whenever you spare time to meet with me, sweetheart. Thanks! xoxo (sorry about the kisses I hope that isn't coming on too strong, if you aren't comfortable with that then I won't use them again in my next message I send in 5 minutes)

or how to drink whiskey

or how to hold their drink "stylishly"

or whether to wear a charcoal or navy suit

or how to lace their shoes

or if they should leave a button unbuttoned

or how firmly they should shake hands at an interview.....

Helicopter parenting should be a capital offense.
