Thanks pumpington, I've read your post many times. I want to get this girl, but it seems like I'm on hard - mode now.
One possible conversation I hold in my head is the following.
Me: "do you even consider me as friend?"
Her: "yeah."
Me: "ok, so what do you think - why do you act so unavailable?"
Her: "..."
Me: "you know I called you out about 2 - 3 times so far, and every time something came up. I like you, but I dont like people that arent direct, which is the reason i defriended you. If you have something to tell me, do it now."
Her: "..."
Ok. So at this point, she or I will probably re add her.
And then we'll probably set up some coffee.
And this is the part which I absolutely don't like.
This coffee itself will look so artificial, as if I had to go through so much drama just to get her on coffee.
I don't think that's what I want: an artifical, forced date (because thats how it looks like to me at this point).
Also, I don't think that saying more then "I like you" is necessary. I mean, seriously, admitting some feelings other then that would be, IMHO - dumb at this point (that's all I feel towards her, anyway, so It's the truth, and that's how I want to do it).
Any thoughts on this or advices are welcome.
meet more girls and keep practicing, right now the frame is needy, but at least you held some congruence
next time you try to facebook game someone, just make sure you actually know them decently before you ask them out, and see what they like doing before you ask them out so you have mutual grounds to meet on, and if they seem unsure and give you a ''maybe'' don't except that, find out when a maybe is a yes, and double check with them that they can make it for sure so you don't make other plans, if they flake on you, don't get all depressed about it and butthurt then remove them or punish them or what ever (unless it is hard for you to not think of them and you do it for yourself)
instead just let it be, leave them alone, meet other girls/keep your time occupied, and forget about them until a day you are bored and want to hit them up, not to get something from them, just because you would enjoy it and want to bring that enjoyment to them, chat them up for your own entertainment when you are bored for fun but leave the ball in their court unless something of interest naturally comes up and you feel like inviting them out to do that thing cause it would be fun
you will get the hang of this eventually, but the idea is, you have to believe in yourself and be certain of what you want to do, and why you are doing things, not necessarily what you want from other people, you don't have to get anything from anyone, when you ask that question ''what do I want'' it is addressing the moment, and what you want to do, rather then what do you want to get
if you have that clear vision in the moment, you can lead a situation
right now this whole situation is fucked, and coming from a needy place, do you even consider me a friend, was a starting point that could have been re-framed
but your frame right now is coming from a needy, ''I am not good enough for you but I want sex from you, but you probably don't like me'' mind set
you don't have to force anything from this girl or get anything from her, what you do have to do is start practicing your skills and find some belief in yourself, figure out how to get more enjoyment for yourself out of socializing and get your fun and fulfillment from yourself instead of as a result of reaching some sort of achievement
you don't need to have sex with this girl, you don't need to grab coffee with her, there is nothing wrong with you and for all you know she could have been busy
example of your starting point, and how you could have ''flipped the script'' while slowly turning the frame
Me: "do you even consider me as friend?"
Her: "yeah."
Me: "I see, well you seem cool, and would probably be fun to hang out with. However you're never able to make it out and I barely know you. Why should we be facebook buddies if that's how it is?''
(or what ever direction you want to take this in, justify why you want compliance, then set out compliance)
Her: blah blah blah
^then more conversation, but if you get some ''words'' from someone, on what to say, it won't help you, cause your frame can't be helped, as soon as you run out of someone else's words that come from their frame, you will start sub-communicating through your frame again
the start of that convo either goes in the direction of compliance, or non compliance, you must address the behavior accordingly, if you are getting dead air, such as ... then pull back your attention, condition behavior to that which you want to see, good behavior gets attention, bad behavior gets withdrawal/rapport broken, let her come to you and actually answer your questions, or break rapport on her, but it's important when breaking rapport that you have some form of investment or else the fear of loss won't exist on her end, she won't fear losing that which she doesn't care about (can't play hard to get if you are hard to want), when you see compliance, build on it, when you see non compliance, back up and build on it at a lower rate that is more comfortable with her
