Met a girl last week on the Wednesday, took her number and met up with her once after that. She wanted to meet up again but I changed the day(I was busy), she said it was okay then cancelled on the day I rearranged to meet saying she wasn't feeling well(I didn't text, call or message much in between, just got in touch logistics). I said it was fine and didn't bother renewing a day.

All fine and dandy but where it gets weird is two days later she likes a photo of me on FB. The next day I get in touch with her dropping a line about the last time we met up just saying I came across a video we were talking about and sent it to her. She ignored my message for two days then replied asking a bunch of questions like asking how I was and what I was doing. I didn't reply straight away. I waited about a day to reply(I think mimicing two days wait is self-defeating, no?) and just said I was fine, asked if she was good and if she had any friends for me(Joking of course). Chick hasn't replied and it's been a day.

I'm pretty sure she's going to wait until day 2 to reply again. Is this some fucked up form of playing hard to get? She was definitely interested in me, I know that much is for sure.

Girls tend to do that sometimes as shit tests, sometimes just because they don't really care about answering on the spot to every guy's message. As long as you don't take it personally and become upset it's just fine to answer on your own rhythm. I find that keeping busy texting like five girls at the same time curbs the neediness and caring about their reactions away and I advise you try this multiple texting. If you still care about that one girl that doesn't answer fast enough to your messages, you got oneitis really bad...

I dont even know what the damn problem is to answer a message as soon as you see it. Honestly, waiting one or 2 days to reply is stupid as hell. Especially when you´re using SPAM or something where she can see that you actually saw the message. Waiting 1-2 hours shows that you´re busy and thats perfectly fine. But 2 days? Common...A girl can do this cause she is testing you but as a guy its just stupid. I dont know. I hate this "Who texts first and takes this and that long to reply game" anyway...

Its not important how long you need to reply its about WHAT you actually text. If she reaches out TO YOU (!) you HAVE to assume that she wants to see you. As we know women are emotional beings so thats what she feels IN THIS MOMENT. You as a man have to use this and set up a definite date! Now! Not 2 days later...(Because who the fuck know what her feelings will be like in 2 days?!) Dont shit chat for ages and dance around the fire. When she contacts you, you simply text her "Hey great to hear from you. When are you free to get together next?" Thats it! Arrange a date and get off the fucking phone...

I don't have oneitise for this chick. I haven't had that in months and i've learned not to develop it.

I'm just bothered by this because ever since i've switched to "text game" Day 2s have gone to shit and women just don't seem as interested as they were before I started text game. I've had no chance or reason to show interest or give her the chance to show interest in between dates. I'm really god damn sure this whole "using texting for logistics only" is a poor concept entirely. I never had this problem before. Normally i'd just shoot the shit, talk crap and still maintain interest and escalate physically in person now i'm essentially cutting out a huge part of attraction out by not engaging her on an emotional level through communication if even one message a day.

What I used to do is wait two to three days to message a chick after getting her number if she didn't message me in between those days. I would keep conversations light but interesting and steer clear of the friendly talk but make PRIVATE jokes between us and tease with a lot of push-pull in messages(Answer question X. "It's not going to work out.", etc.). Since taking up text game i've left all that out and just messaged for logistics and that's it. Puts a lot of pressure on both you and her I find when you do meet up and there's not much comfort there so you're forced to start over with comfort and rapport then move onto seduction. If you use texts right you can completely bypass this bullshit and immediately be at comfort and move to seduction after a few drinks without any resistance.

The only rules I followed before "text game" were:

1. Not to over text her(Sending two or more messages one after the other).
2. Only reply instantly if she does so too but don't do it all the time(You do need to come off as busy plus the anticipation of your message spikes her interest and draws her more into you -- So texting a lot IS A HUGE PLUS!!!)
3. Forget about playing hard to get: If she likes you she's going to message you. If she doesn't she's going to be distant consistently. Know the difference and know when to give distance and re-initiate.

I think a massive deal with this "text game" stuff is it's presumed you're AFC or have very little value. If you have high value and there's clear attraction between you both you can feel free to message her freely and keep it fun. It won't hurt you unless you get needy and message her 24/7, knowing about her life entirely and what not!
