Don't be critical of my overthinking on this one!

Essentially, a little about me; I broke up with my ex 1.5 years ago and ever since have been quite a major player, just trying to have fun being single and young. I'm confident and I don't normally need to seek advice, and am usually on the giving end of advice for such situations. However, I've come to realize that when one actually cares and wants something bad, they tend to lose all their game!

ANYWAYS, to the story:

I saw the girl of my dreams at this wedding this past week, whom I locked eyes with many times. I asked the grooms sister (my cousin) to introduce me to the brides sister, however, no good opportunities came to fruition. I normally don't do such things, but I wasn't about to drop it and not take action, so I went ahead and FB messaged her. She responded positively at first, not too friendly or flirty at all, but small talk was made, however, only 8 messages have been exchanged so far, hers being one liners, unflirty. My cousin advised me that she's one to play 'the game' and enjoys playing hard to get, which makes sense since she's a great catch and very sought after. I can play the game, to a point, but as we all know, that game gets staler than bread left out for a few days pretty quick. There's been 24 hours between the past 3 texts, me being the last one to send one and she still hasn't read this past one, which was mere small talk. I intend on asking her out within the next 2 messages but wonder if being straight up, or continue playing the game would be the correct route, or whether or not she's interested. Pretty tough to tell. Lets be real, every girl has their phone on them as if it's their third breast, they see the messages coming in, but she chose to answer the text 24 hours later, twice, even though it's obvious she saw it. Another sidenote: she had asked my cousin about who I was once or twice at the wedding.

Thoughts?

Here's what many guys here don't get: a woman gives you her info so that you'll ask her out on a DATE. She's not trying to have a guy "girl" friend that she texts/messages all the time. The only way that happens is if YOU decide to let that happen by being a texting chatty Cathy with her in the beginning instead of making the necessary moves.

Another thing you need to stop doing is listening to your friends about women. Believe it or not, a lot of guys that are your "friends" are out to sabotage you chances with women because they either want a shot at her, or got turned down by her and are now in retaliation mode. The only way you actually get to KNOW how a girl is... is to ask her out and take her on a couple of dates!

Anyway... in response to your situation: you should have asked her out on that first message to her. Yes, re-read that and remember it for the future. I dated a girl one time that was a friend of a friend, and when I got the friend to okay me contacting this other girl, the first things I sent her was a message saying (a) I saw her on TV and had to reach out to her (she was a background singer, saw her on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno singing with my friend) and (b) that I wanted to take her out sometime. BOOM - instant date, and it only took ONE message!

Since that opportunity has passed, you don't have to make this a hard thing to do. Next time you hit her up, say "Hey - So, I wanted to check out (place) and wanted to take you with me, let me know if (day A) or (day B) would work for you." Then shut up and wait for her to respond. If there's any inclination on her part to go out with you, she'll respond with a "Yes, I'm free on (day chosen), that sounds fun!" If not, you'll get the "better off friends" response or the "I'm too busy" response - either way, no harm, no fowl. Hope this helps!

Or the more likely option that they do not want to see you succeed or be happy etc.

This girl never gave me her contact info, all she did was ask my cousin who I was about twice. She also waited 20 hours to answer my message. In response, I waited 25 hours to answer her. And here I am now on the next message waiting 30 hours (still waiting) for her to answer the next message so I can ask her out hahaha. I'll give it until tonight to respond and if not, do you think I should just drop it on her, despite whether she answers or not? Only reason I didn't ask her out off the bat is because my cousin told me she plays that 'game'

What Harry said still applies, if anything for future reference.

Ask her out your next message. It should be after she responds, and quit playing games. Don't be chrcking your FB every 5 minutes for her message, but respond and ask her out as soon as you're not busy.

Good luck.
I do like your advice. And if she doesn't reply by tonight? Ask out regardless?

No you should wait imo.

Once she messages you then go in and ask her out.

If she refuses reply in the most unbutt h urt way possible. Be smooth.

Dont contact her again but im pretty sure shell holla if this is to be the case.

Not a DJ but some advice.

Harry's right. Don't waste time, get to the point.... Make a date.

The only thing I would add is that you should NEVER rely on ANYONE for your dating success.

When you were at the wedding you should have just gone up and introduced yourself... it's weak waiting for others to introduce you, that is stuff chicks do. If you see something you want, just go get it, that is what men do.
