Jesus christ ....That was your first text message? You couldn't pick a worst opening.


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
WTF? Why don't you just say "Since I obviously have nothing else going, I hope I don't have to wait 3 months for the privileged of spending my hard earn money on you"


Man you need read up on some really basic old school David Deangelo **** to start off with. Seriously before you do anything else, go on Google and read up on PUA stuff. You don't even know the very basics off men and women. High status chicks are going to eat you alive.

But they do love smiley faces, just not when guys do it.

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'!



Excellent advice. Thats exactly how he should have played it to the t. Always turn the tables around on her. Its a must. Tell her shes going to chase you. If she calls you a smartass then you thank her for the compliment

Turn off. Generally speaking, possessing a ****** puts you ahead of the curve in the dating game, so I get wary of any girl who smacks of desperation. It's usually a signifier of extremely low self esteem or being a bit off mentally. In my travels, they're usually not the most superficially pleasing ones, either, so it becomes even more grating.

When she told you that you will have to chase her for 3 months, that should have set the alarm bells ringing. Attention seeking, cock teaser comes to my mind.

I would have dropped it instantly and have the satisfaction that she would have been annoyed that you didn't instantly bend over backwards - use a bit of reverse psychology. Girl ******* hate it when you ignore them.

Your dialogue was like, the epitome of what not to do.

Basically, you came off as boring, desperate, unconfident, lacking other options, and then you made it obvious that you cared about the outcome. You want to do the opposite of all these things.

I recommend reading/listening to some of David DiAngelo's stuff as you clearly lack natural intuition in this arena.

It has nothing really to do with men or woman. Having the trait of desperation is universally a turnoff in humans. Doesn't matter if its men or woman, dating or trying to sell a car. We are wired not to respond positively to traits like that. This is a worse trait for men than woman but its a killer for either. Even hot chicks can act desperate in relationships with alpha guys (bad boys) that treat them like ****. Hell girls routinely act desperate around celebrities. If your a girl and you're trying to bang the dude from Twilight, the worse thing you can do is start screaming your head off like some desperate super-fan.

ok boys, i think we have laid into him enough...like i said in my last post, just learn the lesson and move on. The iRomeos know everything and will one day lose their virginities...but ya, just file it away as a 'don't act too needy' lesson and it'll pay for itself in the long run.

Agree, although I'm kind of old for the texting advice, anyone should see using smileys, texting her so soon and frequently, and diction ("sweetheart") killed it for the OP.

OP: Learn how to talk to a woman over the phone (keep it simple, short, without any awkwardness). And, you should never have asked or even suggested the topic of you chasing her.

More importantly, you need to take women off the pedestal. So what if she was pretty/the prettiest you met this month?

Go to a city like LA or New York so you get desensitized to falling for any good looking woman. Here in Austin, they're a dime a dozen.

Also, you need to be the kind of person who legitimately has other things to do so or people to meet. This way, you wouldn't be lying if you'd tell her you couldn't meet a certain day or only had so many minutes in the day to spend with her before you had to leave.

Better yourself as a man, build your career, work out, learn something new like a foreign language, etc. The older you get, the more you'll realize women mostly care about how much you make. It's programmed in them because of evolutionary psychology.

I said it before, and I'll say it again.

Trolls are getting good, man. A little too good.


If you're not a troll, I honestly don't know what to say. Not to be mean or anything, but have your balls dropped yet?
