Just sent this text to an HB7 I met recently. I'm trying to get her to qualify herself but I'm not sure if I overkilled this text

You seem pretty confident that you can get anyone you want. Confidence is really great, but I'm just as a confident that i could resist your charms, even with how attractive you are. What makes you think you could have me ?

I DESPISE those damn smileys, but she's young and is used to seeing them. I'm still waiting on her response. If its negative, any suggestions on recovering from it?

The first thing that came up to me when I read your email was "Oh my God".

Care to elaborate on that? I ended up screwing it up anyway ha,I need read up more on taking down bitch-shield and reacting to shit-tests. I could care less how that convo went now, I learned something

Doesn't sound too cocky... sounds too needy.

Well, first of all, why did you have to talk about her great charms and her awwesome attractiveness ? If you want to be cocky and funny, you don't compliment a girl like that. Being cocky and funny is putting you higher than the girl but in a funny way in order to not make you look like a jerk. What you basically did is put her on a pedestal by saying she has a lot of charms and she is very attractive. Basically, I would never say to any girl that she is attractive.

Your 'Why do you think you are good enough for me ?' is not only extremely cocky but also extremely dorky. Any girl would react like "Oh ... my ... God ...., just go ... away." Of course you messed up. Who makes a comment like that. Recovery ? I think it is impossible to recover. A guy that has had a lot of successes with women would never text something like that. Now she knows that or you had not many girlfriends in the past or all your girlfriends must have been psychotic.

I think that your biggest mistake is that you just say what a woman should think about you. What a woman has to think about you is: 'I am very confident and attractive but this guy is not fazed by all this. He must be really confident. WOUW, he is so cool. I should qualify to him because I really want to know him better.' And what you did is just say almost literally what her unconscious mind should think: "Hi girl, you are very pretty and attractive but I am not fazed by that. If you want to hang out with me, you need to qualify yourself so go ahead.". This is like people who brag in order to get respect. People who brag about their achievements are not really confident. Those who have a lot of succes and never brag, those are the ones that are confident.

I wouldn't even try to make her qualify like you did. If she gives me a cocky text message, I would just text her back: "My mother warned me of girls like you.". She will really want to know what you mean by that so she will text "What do you mean ?". Then I would just ignore her message for several hours. She will go crazy and you show her also that you have other things to do more important than her (non-needy). After letting her wait all those hours you text her "It is just that my mother warned me to stay away from girls like you. I can't tell you more." She will go crazy and be thinking about your messages the whole time. You will be in her head. Maybe then, if she asks you again about it and you made her wait a long time, you can text her "Well, I really can't say why I should avoid you. But maybe you can give me a reason why I should still hang out with you ?"

Thanks for the advice, I always screw up over text. I put too much thought into it every time, I think I do better actually speaking because then I'm not really thinking (too much, too deep) about what I'm going to say.
