| A frequent topic here is guys asking advice what to do once a girl stops showing interest. Should I freeze her out, re-engage etc.
I was thinking about a concept I heard a while back, Early frame announcement EFA, basically saying that if she early on talks a lot about money, her previous boyfriends taking her out etc, you know beforehand you will end up paying and that your wealth is important to her. By listening to these signals you avoid girls who dont fit your core interests/ values.
Another way to use it would be to enhance your alertness to her engagement level generally. We all know that setting up a day 2 or attempting a kiss if the chemistry aint there, not only gets you nowhere but often worsens your chances. Being more perceptive of early signs of disinterest and to calibrate accordingly could then improve your game. You could for example add up all her signs of commitment, how long before she answers to text, if she is high energy when you meet, responds well to touch etc, and you will get a good image of her investment level.
On the other hand, some girls respond well to persistence, two steps forward one step back. And it is your job to escalate, the hand that holds you on a distance suddenly pulls you closer instead. And for some guys, actively listening for signs she is not into you could be devastating if you have a down period.
How do you guys handle this? You back off or push through if she starts turning away? I suspect most of us have a tendency to keep going after a girl even after an outsider would say its gone cold.
Or is it a question of where you are in the hook-up process, e.g. being more aggressive can work early on, but later you need to be more alerted to her investing less?
Appreciate any input
