I'm gonna text her the following on Thursday;
Hey, it's Trent. Tried to call u earlier this week and never heard from you but wanted to give it one last shot. Wanted to see if you wanted to hang out this weekend. I don't know if you are seeing someone but it seems like you are, if that's the case than I wish you the best. But if you aren't and are interested, hit me up. Later....
NO. DON'T SAY THAT.
My goodness...haven't you guys figured out that women are emotional yet?
Let's disect this text you plan on sending to her,and I'll point out all the WRONG VIBES you're
unintentionally sending her about yourself.
1:
"I tried calling u earlier this week and never heard from you..."
Although this isn't
that bad we're taking into consideration how this may look from
her point of view. This is letting her know that you're seemingly more invested in her than she is in you.
That's bad.
Considering you two have only had one date,you calling her and not hearing from her shouldn't be that big of a deal. You shouldn't even be bringing it up unless you two talk to each other and she asks why she hasn't heard from you since the date.
2:
"...wanted to give it one last shot".
One last shot? After only one date? Come on dude.
Usually,things only get to "one last shot" after you've tried and tried and tried,and everything else you've done has failed.
And I know you haven't expended that kind of effort into her yet. I mean come on,the first date was only 4 days ago on Saturday.
She probably won't even know what you mean. She'll be like,"One last shot? What is he talking about? We went out on one date,
4 days ago,and now he's talking about one last shot? Wow. Maybe it's a good thing I saw this side of him before I got any deeper involved".
3:
"I don't know if you're seeing someone,but it seems like you are..."
And this is the worst one of all. It reeks of insecurity. And what if she is seeing someone else? What's that to you? You're not her boyfriend. For pete's sake dude,you've only taken her out on
ONE DATE.
You saying this to her is 10 times worse than all the other things put together.
Instead of you worrying about whether or not she's seeing someone else,(which is none of your business),you should be focusing on presenting the best "YOU" possible to her so she'll want to choose you over that other guy...
IF THERE EVEN IS SOMEONE ELSE.
Once that happens,and things progress into a relationship,THEN you can be concerned with whether or not she's seeing someone else.
Going out on one date with a girl doesn't give you any authority or say so over her dating life.
The two of you being in a commited,monogamous relationship does.
4:
"if that's the case,then I wish you the best".
That's just flat out "nice guy". Not really that big of a deal,but it does show her you're willing to just let her go,and not in a good way. This type of "letting her go" is like self-sacrificing,like "I don't care about me,as long as you're happy".
That's not good.
And 5:
"...but if you aren't and are interested,hit me up".
No good bro. You're the prize,remember? But you just told her she can take it or leave it. Like,"if you want me,I'm here. If not,then I wish you the best".
Who wants a prize like that?
The reason a prize is a prize is because you had to put some effort into obtaining it. It didn't just fall into your lap.
That number 5,if you send that to her,I PROMISE YOU,you'll turn her
OFF. Where's the challenge?
"If you want me,here I am".
That's too easy.
No.
Go on about your business. If she calls you and wants to go out,be like,"Umm...well...I'll probably be busy on (whatever day),but I'll be free on (whatever day) after 5 oclock (or whatever time).
Don't let her think you're just sitting around the house twittering your thumbs waiting on the phone to ring.
Go ahead and contact her again if you want,BUT PLEASE don't use that HORRIBLE first draft you came up with.
