And I am talking about mid to high interest women here, not low interest women.
The main thing you guys that are struggling do wrong is this: You over pursue. Its amazing how many DMs I get about "what went wrong" on a date only to find out that the guy is showing his hand and over pursuing like crazy.
As many of you know, I basically do what I want in the dating world. I dont really have "rules" that I follow to the letter because everything is based on intent and context.
Just a few things I will point out:
1.) I rarely double text/message. And I mean rarely. The only reason I would is if I answer a question and then come back with something of totally different context. If I dont get a response back to something I sent (as in a question) I will NOT text again.
2.) I make my intent clear on my interest in a woman. "I am going to such and such place at 8pm this Wednesday evening. You should join me for a drink". That is all that needs to be said. Her response will dictate where the conversation goes. YES or a counter offer with a specific day means the convo continues. We will see, maybe, I will think about it.....those all get NO response from me.
3.) I also hid my interest in a woman: Once we have hung out a few times and I get the "What are you looking for" question, I simply dodge it with what could be perceived (by me) as an honest answer. "I am not really sure. I am newly single and I am exploring the dating world. If someone comes along and it leads to something then great. If not, I will keep dating and doing me and having fun". In no way shape or form would I ever say I was looking for a relationship. Ever.
4.) Texting: I am the type of guy that likes to build a little momentum going into a date. With that being said, logistics play a big part of how much I text.
If it is Tuesday and she wants to grab a drink the next evening, I will set the time and say "See you there". Then I wont text anymore.
But if its a Monday and I invite her to join for a drink on Thursday and she counters with Friday, I will allow conversation to happen since its going to be several days in between. In doing so I still stay mysterious and I just keep her texting by asking questions about what she is talking about in her text. You know, just like I would in real life on a date.
Not being conceited but I cant remember all the chicks I was texting 2 weeks ago. So if thats the case with me, an attractive chick is going to have several guys hitting her up and I could easily get lost in transition as well. That is why I will provoke the conversation in between but not give too much info on myself. Building a little rapport only helps in most situations (for me at least).
I truly believe that effectiveness with most texting is about:
1) Not being super available
2) Not being cheesy, saying ANYTHING that takes away from a solid frame (jealous, needy, clingy, butthurt, etc)
Other than that you really wont hurt yourself if you maintain a solid frame.
5.) You have to not care. I say this from a conversation I had with someone last night. Follow me here:
I can hit up just about any chick that I have ever ghosted in the past 2 years and I will guarantee you that for the most part, they will respond back to me in less than 5 minutes. And when they do, there will be NOTHING mentioned about me ghosting them at first. They will more than likely bring that up soon after and then also mention me "making it up to them" as a sexual innuendo or an opening for me to invite them over, out for a drink, etc.
I ghosted them because they were not my best option. Hell they probably werent in the top 3 options. By ghosting them, I didnt care about the outcome. They know this. It left a taste in their mouth that they werent good enough. If/when I hit them back up, they see it as a way to redeem themselves.
Its the same principal of not really caring about the outcome when it comes to early on dating. When I invite a chick out for a drink, if she says "yes" thats great, if she say anything else besides yes, thats fine too. Because an abundance mindset will take you very far in this game.
If in a "relationship", these guidelines dont really change. You still have to control the balance of power. You still use S&D when needed.
As soon as you lose frame you lose the control of the power and dont have the upper hand. That is when a woman will start to question your masculinity, your true alpha skills and so forth.
Maintain frame, maintain control.
Act like 9s and 10s are waiting for this chick to fvck up so they can shoot their shot.
Happy hunting
