Hey whats up fellas, I'm posting to ask about some help with text game with a HB7. Met her at work one of my co-workers brought to her attention that I'm single ( as is she) while I was gone, my female co-worker talked me up to her. During our first few days working together her and I spoke a good amount ,we were always around our other co-workers so it was not possible to isolate her. I was cocky funny throughout the days together and got her to laugh a good amount. During a conversation she asked if anyone has ever told me I look a lot like Ben Affleck, I told her no but I'll still take it as a compliment. Then she said she thinks Ben Affleck is hot and that my smile resembles his and complimented my smile, this was the last push I needed in deciding to ask for her number. I never got to talk to just her so I had to get her number in a rush when the day ended. Here is our text conversations, any and all help welcome. I waited until the day after getting her number to text her:

Me: Hey ( nickname from day before) this is (my name) , making sure you have my number

HB7: Hehehe. Yep got ya!

Me: I saw a group of unicyclists on my way to work, they are taking over ( town) lol how was your radio gig ? ( she is a musician and was on the radio that day)

HB7: ha YES! oh it was fine. I tried the bulletproof coffee this morn and felt high on the radio, then felt starving and exhausted! hmmm maybe I did it wrong! ( bulletproof coffee is something we spoke about and she wanted to try)

Me: Haha I've never gotten high off the bulletproof coffee so maybe im doing it wrong! hahadid you drink the coffee as your breakfast or did you eat with it ? ( yes very lame on my part)

HB7: No eating just starving myself haha

Me: Did the coffee at least taste good ? lol the key to making the coffee sustain as your breakfast is really loading the butter/coconut oil. Thats really cool that you r trying it out!

DID NOT hear back from her the rest of the day/night

NEXT DAY

Me: what sort of trouble are you causing today ?

HB7: Doin some musicy businessy stuff! you workin ?

Me: Musicy businessy stuff for the new album ? I expect an advanced copy haha

HB7: lots of businessy stuff! so kyle ( her sisters Bf) tells me there was a mix up at work, which one was lighter ?

Me: (blah blah) was lighter, we fixed it all though. Very serious question: whats your top five movies of all time ?

HB7: Hmmm right now I think....
adaptation
amelie
I heart huckabees
Eternal sunshine
Goodwill Hunting

Me: Ahh I see the Ben Affleck theme comes full circle ( she said I looked like Ben affleck) you texting another guy that looks like matt damon ? lol

NO replies since this text! any and all help welcome.

Sometimes we forget that some people just don't dig regular texting. Do you think this is one of those situations?

The interaction seems fine and you got all your Ben Affleck IOIs, but that hasn't gone as well as the texting right? Be patient and see if she acts any different in person. Sometimes we over-complicate shit for ourselves and don't allow enough time for things to develop. We all have a pace, and it looks like she has hers.

Judging everything based on texts is exactly what's wrong with society lately. We all need results immediately...but it doesnt work that way. Exuding confidence isn't confined to face to face interaction, sometimes confidence is about not being in a hurry to text a lot or ask a bunch of questions etc.

Try switching it up and see how she responds. If you can get her to chase a little bit that means you were being overly accommodating during texting. If nothing changes, then that might be just how she is. Who knows, she could just be really busy right?

Point is: give it time, try some things out.

Thats a really good point, we are all about instant gratification but I feel like the conversation is definitely lacking something. After our two text conversations that ended with no replies she texted me this morning mentioning a documentary that she really likes, pertaining to the movie question I asked her yesterday. Because of the no replies ending our conversation I thought that not texting her and waiting a day would be best. With her engaging today should I text her back ?

I've had experience with girls that just aren't very good at being consistent with texting. This bothered me so I started to numb myself to the need to text all the time and I did more or less what she's doing with you.

You can get a great text convo with days and hours between texts, it just takes longer. Also, you kept the convo pretty tame and light so it didn't really give her a chance to open up. Whats important is to keep things fun because the more she laughs and enjoys texting, the more texts you'll get. But don't worry about that until you build enough rapport.

For now, be congruent with her and her pace. If she texted, just text back and don't even expect a response. Just send it and move on until she texts again. Like i said, this might prompt her to be a little more proactive. If you are texting immediately all the time, it sends the message that you are bored and waiting for her response right? Be more nonchalant about it and prioritize meeting up with her and isolation, not the texting.

Good luck man.

Thanks man!
