Ok so a girl I started messaging on Tinder has ignored me for a day
Dude. It's one day. Stop blowing up her inbox and work on something more important.
Quote:
I'm wondering where my text game fell short.
Probably canned/gamey lines and amount of texting is where your problems are.
Quote:
Me: Titanic
Her: Jack?
Me: Just breaking the ice. How's your day Rose(?)
Jesus christ.
Quote:
Me: You're right there, smart cookie. More than just a pretty face. Tiring day? Maybe it's harder than I thought finding guys taller than you.
Holy fuck this is so try-hard.
Just be yourself, man. Never do this shit again.
Quote:
Her: As if I look for guys taller than me all day. But it actually is really hard.
Me: I don't know what you do on a daily basis do. So the obvious assumption is you go around looking for affable 5'10"+ males like myself. .... and it's apparently tiring
This is better. You can tell this is what you're thinking. It reads as sincere.
Quote:
Her: I'll probably have to change my everyday activity now that you're here.
Me: How cute, I'm flattered. How's about you give me your number and we hang out some time? I trust you won't be in heels.
Her: I won't 100%, don't even own a pair *insert number*
Not bad.
Quote:
On the phone:
Me: Hello 'tis your favourite person xxxxxxx
Her: Grandma?
I really hope you didn't use the word "tis". Are you trying to sound like an old time pirate? And I hate this kind of gamey introduction. It reads as complete insecurity, and it sounds like projection.
Quote:
Me: Yeah it's my new number how did you know it was me?
Her: The kisses of course
Me: I hear you agreed to hang out with an affable boy, how are things with him?
LOL. Just be yourself, man. You sound like a court jester. Also, again it reads like insecurity, like you're reminding her, "hey, do you remember you said you'd hang out with me, your highness????".
Quote:
Me: *insert location* do you fancy hanging out this evening
You: Drinks at bar X, 9.
Quote:
Me: Do let me know if you want me to pay you a visit
Me (later that evening): Getting this out the way before we meet, how do you pronounce your name?
Didn't you say for her to "let you know"? And then you text again? Give her some time.
Quote:
Her: Don't bother just call me *insert name*
Me (late that evening): Ok then I shall you up to much next week?
She still hasn't responded directly to your beta-like invite, yet you're still hammering her and reminding her. This is desperate behavior.
Quote:
Her: Not really, just work
Me: Sounds like an exciting week, any preference of which day you want to hang out? Also you said you said you're going to stop the tiring habit of looking for tall men now you've met me, can I call you my gffl?
this is straight up fucking pathetic. You are all over he like a wet blanket. Give her some space, man! You told her to "let me know when you're free to hang", yet you never gave her the space to answer. Desperate and unattractive.
Quote:
Me: Tomorrow it is then. Any time you're not free?
That's not how you ask a girl out. See above. And that's like the fourth time you've harped on her since you said she should let you know.
Quote:
Me (the following day): Yeah, so you wanna hang tonight or nah?
WTF?
At this point you look crazy and neurotic.
Give her space and let her get back to you. Women love patient men.
