DonJuanjr's growing pains

[DonJuanjr]

Well, chick number 2 responded.
Her:Thanks for reaching out to me. You seem like a nice guy. but it doesn't seem like we would be that compatible. I hope you enjoy your weekend. Take care, hun.
Me: We don't need to be identical to enjoy each others company. It's just one date. What do you have to lose?
No response.
Though I am not sure I'd entertain a date at this point. Since there is no room for seduction and it would be a waste of money.

You're coming off very desperate and needy in your texts. The one I quoted above, you should have never responded after she said take care hun. When they say stuff like that or flake with no counter offer, then don't respond and just delete there number.

Also, you ask for the date too fast. You need to text them more first and build some comfort. Then you ask them to meet for a drink.

This contradicts what @EyeBRollin and many others on here advise.

Judging from what you post, it looks like you are asking for the date on the first message or second message. Why would a women that just met you agree to a date that quickly? I can see if you were Brad Pitt or something then yeah.

Don't take my advice and try something different. Keep doing what you been doing and continue to get flaked on and ghosted. Suit yourself.

I met these chicks doing cold approach in person. There was a little conversation in the stores first. I appreciate your input. The conversations I'm logging are the texts after they gave me their numbers in person.

@Young OG In your experience, do you feel the rapport needs to be built in texts, if you already chatted with them in person for a little bit, then got their number?

Not rapport but comfort. I'm not saying you have to have a really long text conversation with them. When you text them, remind them who you are, then text back and forth for a bit. You can joke around a little but don't be a comedian. Then you ask them to meet for a drink. If you ask for the date on the first or second message, you come off as way too needy and desperate. Also, don't do the I'll be at xyz place at this time, meet me there of you want to have a drink. That's really dumb advice being passed around on here.

It doesn't matter if you met her from cold approach or online, you still need to text back and forth for a bit before asking her on a date. Trust me, I've tried everything you can think of. There is alot of garbage advice on here. I've been here for a while and I've been on tons of dates.

This.

@Lookatu Other than this text which I figured "screw it, this girl isn't interested so I have nothing to lose". She was very reserved, so I thought maybe she needed a show of more effort as a way of showing I have actual interest in her. Kinda like how females say "I bet you do this for all the girls".

Me: We don't need to be identical to enjoy each others company. It's just one date. What do you have to lose?

In your opinion which other texts come off as needy and desperate?

So the chick I was supposed to go on a date with tonight cancelled on me. I texted her around 1:
Me: Hey stranger, just checking to make sure we're still on for tonight.
3 hours later
her: Sorry, something came up. I can't
Me: When can you?

If a girl doesn't offer a reschedule and reason, there's nothing more to say or ask. It's time to move on.

Regarding chick 2:
so I sent her a double text.

Me: Obviously you're not comfortable enough with me yet to go on a date with. If you need to know more about me, text me or call me sometime.
I get a response from her.
Her: Sorry usually people tell me about themselves first.

I proceed to tell her a little about myself. She responds with a little about her self. Then she writes:
Her: It's too bad you don't like running. I could use a running buddy.

Double texting usually doesn't amount to anything good. One way you could've done this is to just send a playful gif you think she'll get a chuckle out of(depending on her age) instead of what you wrote which was a mistake.

Instead of saying what you think she's feeling, you could've tried to provide more dialogue and comfort and be playful.

In her telling you she could use a running buddy, you should've already known you were friendzoned before you even started.

I think the double text was successful as it got her to respond and the conversation going. Next time when I think there is a high chance they won't respond, I'll try sending the playful gif or comforting type dialog. Though I would have thought this would send me to friendzone also.

Just to be clear, send a playful gif or something random. Comforting type dialogue is once you get her attention and she is chatting back and forth with you.

She's a single mother with low IL? That's an uphill battle right there.

So about 11 days ago I matched with some chick on tinder. I wrote to her "Hey trouble". She didn't reply for 10 days. So I figure I've got nothing to lose... She's not interested anyways.... So I wrote to her:

"So I take it you're not really interested in looking to date guys, just on here for validation then?" Haha... I figured she wouldn't respond anyways. She ended up writing back within 5 minutes

Her - "Let me get this straight. You think because I didn't respond to *you*, that I don't ever want to respond to *anyone*? And that this message of yours is going to come across as anything other than hostile and self centered? I had no particular reason for not getting back to you -- I'm busy, I have a life-- but now I'm thinking I've really dodged a bullet here"

I had an even longer response wrote out logically refuting her... Then I realized no point in logically arguing with a chick... So I deleted that message and decided to respond with amused mastery and c0cky/funny..

me - " Whoa I'm the hostile one? Quite the response for a playful/teasing question. You seem to get worked up pretty easy... Am I going to have to walk on egg shells throughout our relationship? "

With an attitude like hers, I'm not sure I am even interested. But I figure I'll just keep going along with this to use as a learning experience. She will probably respond with one last fvck you type message then unmatch.

 

[DonJuanjr]

It occurred to me, I probably should have responded with more c0ckyness than anything. Something like:
"Well look at me, I KNOW you're not responding to other guys if you're ignoring a sexy specimen like myself. "

Not that any of this matters anyways...

 

[derby1]

but a mid thirties single mom.... I would have thought that would have afforded a little more leeway. I am just frustrated with the missed opportunity of attempted seduction on a date.

nope, as a 38 year old I can tell you this, theyre the worst. if she only has 1 or 2 kids, she will be inundated with men wanting to pump & dump, she confuses this as her value

 

[derby1]

Her - "Let me get this straight. You think because I didn't respond to *you*, that I don't ever want to respond to *anyone*? And that this message of yours is going to come across as anything other than hostile and self centered? I had no particular reason for not getting back to you -- I'm busy, I have a life-- but now I'm thinking I've really dodged a bullet here"

this is the modern day woman, think about how illogical this is?

polite = No reply

call their ego out = 2 paragraphs/

have a think about how backwards that is

For her to behave and write like that to you, and you then to respond with something like this, would in my opinion have been completely tone deaf - and your response was already pushing it. Her response was stunningly conceited, why would you then give effort trying to be "funny" for her?

Your first "inquiry" was okay, if you feel theres a point to it, but after that i wouldnt have said anything and just waited for her to unmatch.

 

[DonJuanjr]

I just checked, and she unmatched and deleted the conversation.

why would you then give effort trying to be "funny" for her?

Because this is just a game to me. I am not getting any kind of results on OLD. I have the couple minutes to spare to write a message.

You arent doing anything productive by playing vain games and giving them attention, either for yourself or on a social scale, and you know that. My advise in addition to that would be to delete OLD.
