Alright here's a little brief history. I gamed for a good solid 4 1/2 months every weekend and was getting interesting results, figuring out what was working for me and how to run with it and tweaking pua techniques towards men while using some techniques I learned from a fpua. (No Joke, I noticed a lot of guys like the Cube. Fucking weird. Every time I go to a party there's always some douche whose like DUDE DO THE CUBE) Well I stopped gaming. Went on reinventing myself. Lost that last stubborn 15 pounds, focused heavily on school and studying, working on my appearance more to bring my predetermined 7 up to a 8-9ish.

Before I went on this little self-mission I was texting this guy I met on facebook (which I don't really use except to post an inspirational quote or a fun picture every now and again- but I was working on my e-game since nobody fucking uses their phones to actually CALL people anymore). I did everything right and then- I blew him off to work on myself. After two months (well, closer to three) I sent a text saying something like

"Well, this text is two months late and I'm a total dick. Excuses are a waste of time so I'll skip right to the bribery, let me buy you a drink." Really not expecting a response back. He responded within 5 minutes. I let him set up the "date" for yesterday (which was april fools so I was really suspicious- but I went anyway) and It was in a Casino. I got there before did so I sent him a mysterious text- "Find your inner child and you'll find me." He was pretty smart and found me in the Arcade about ten minutes later. I watched for IOIs and I saw (what I thought) that he was pleased with my appearance but after that- completely hard to read.

He actually said, "Well, I thought I had the day free but I don't. I didn't want to blow you off so I came here to hang out for a few minutes."

I blanked and broke eye contact (fail). I immediately thought, 'fuck he's not interested.' Completely lost control of the situation and had to shut my brain up. I shrugged and smiled to buy myself some time to think and said something like "It's completely cool, go take care of your business." But he didn't leave right away. He asked me some questions, one of which saying something like "Are you here with friends or something?" (I assume because I acted nonchalant about his leaving) and I said, "Well, I make friends wherever I go." Then it got awkward, I filled the silences with some stuff here and there he told me to come with him to sit outside so I did and he asked me about some stuff I had texted him (Which I forgot because it had been three months) Then he said, "Do you meet people off of facebook a lot?" And I shook my head. It was honest, he was the first and little test run before I got back into the game. Then he said, "You should be careful." And I smiled and said, "Really now? Why are you serial killer?" *fake scared expression, some little flirty stuff* some more idle chit chat, then he said he had to go.

No text. It's only been a day. And I'm thinking...he's either a serial killer... or something about my tenseness blew it. Is there anything you guys can offer from a male perspective to maybe set up a second- well first actual date. Or maybe some insight?

Let me know if I'm missing anything and thanks in advance.

Hello Tarea,

It just sounds to me that he was pretty boring. You set up a fun frame to have him find you in an arcade and you guys didn't play any of the games or win items with tickets.

Did he touch you, escalate at all, make jokes, call out the awkwardness?

If you felt that it was really awkward then he most likely did as well. He may be in his head also saying uggghhh she didn't like me it was awkward I messed up, he could feel like he blew it who knows.

Text him again so he knows you are still interested, hint at wanting to go on another date. See if he leads and sets up another one. If you are on another date with him and he still doesn't escalate, lead you, have fun, try to kiss you etc... I'd probably call it quits after that.

Also you might want to delete your facebook, change hair color, change your phone # and crash at a friends house for a few weeks. Serial killers are a pain to deal with and if he has a boat you're fucked!
