Yeah, I was going to take a break from the "online" aspect of pick-up. To be honest it was mostly from the flat out rejections and being ignored. I've been consistently successful offline, its just much easier for me. I just feel like I'm running away from the problem which won't help at all.

Q: How (if you do) do you recover from being ignored?

This is the one type of rejection that just drives me batshit crazy. It has happened in "real life" as well. Call me ugly, say you're not interested, SAY FUCKING SOMETHING!

Do you send another message/email? (I'm talking about when you know she read your first msg)

If so, what would you send? Something with light negging about ignoring their prince charming? lol

I'm a little lost on this one.

You really have to forget expectations online. I have a pretty well liked profile, I've received compliments about my pictures and plenty of girls actually contact me first. Frankly though the vast majority of women aren't worth my time on there and of the few that I've wound up going on dates with, nine out of ten I would never have approached had I seen them live in the first place.

I like to think of it as a side project. You shouldn't try to exclusively game online unless you're some online dating savant or you have absolutely no other ways to meet women.

Offline is always better than online. Go out as much as you can, offline will improve your skills and get better results faster.

I personally try to send a first message that it is almost impossible to ignore, a message that really spikes her curiosity.
But if you're already in a conversation, if she doesn't answer I don't send another message till she does. If she doesn't reply at all, I might try again like the next day or later with "Playing hard to get? Nice. Talk to me".
If not, go for the next one. Don't even waste time on her.
The fun fact is that often, after me backing off I get a reply: "oh sorry I've been really busy blah blah"
Sometimes people after reading a message they think "i'll answer later" and they eventually forget to reply. It happens to me all the time
