Help needed, people! So here's the scenario: I get a number from HB, we end up out together, I botch up in escalating attraction but we still have a great time and now she texts often with boring, friend-type shit. What's the best way to get out of this friend-text deadlock, and reinvigorate to another meet up and a chance to escalate attraction again? Better still, escalate/reinvigorate via text first?

start making yourself less available through text, be ''busy'' more often, but give her alternative means to get your attention, (in other words invite her out, either to your house or out to do something), when she is out with you, escalate

if she absolutely halts your escalation and seems like she has no interest, or when you start to escalate she shuts you down, then stops hanging out with you alone, and avoids doing so, then it is safe to say she is not interested/available, and no amount of dhv neg voodoo magic will do anything for you, you will just have to accept her as a texting buddy/friend and move on

but until that point, as long as she meets with you and will be alone, and doesn't halt meaningful touching, and allows you to work towards sex with flirting etc. then she is a good lead, but seriously.. don't be needy and waste your time on girls that are not interested in you
