I agree
when I'm not desperate, I can be immensely likable. I gotta keep telling myself, the less I want her to like me, the more she will.
she's been responding instantly to all my texts. Going great so far
Do NOT allow yourself to get all chit chatty with her, over texts!!
EVEN IF she is responding super positive...DO NOT keep it going like you are having a conversation in person. You are not in person!!
It can be a HUGE attraction killer. Again, end it on a high note by setting up a time and place to meet her next. Then let her have time and space to think about you, to wonder about you!
I am sure you like chit chatting via text with her. Stop.
Too much, even if she is responding positively, can be a turn off, because there is a tipping point that makes you look like you don’t have a life to pay attention to and/or too desperate to interact with her. You don’t know where that tipping point is. Once you cross it there is not much of a chance to undo it.
Do not overly start explaining who you are, what your life is about, how great you are, etc!! Allow her to wonder about you! Let there be mystery. Ask about her and LISTEN. Ask more about what she shared and then LISTEN. Repeat!!!
Mystery about you amplifies attraction!
