So im really new to all this pua stuff. I, like a lot of others got into this from reading the game and dreaming of the possibilities.
So anyway, a little bit about me, I've had a few gfs in the past so im not a total afc. I've flirted talked and gotten numbers from a lot of girls but i dunno what happens after, it kinda goes no where. In the past most my problems have come from being really shy, lack of confidence, and seeming too try hard (but in a passive sort of way. If that makes sense)
. However the last month or two I've been doing some reading and really trying to step up my game. Basically just going for it. Talking to girls/people i want to talk to when i wAnt to. Its been working a lot better. And I've even found that girls that i knew from highschool had interest in me, i just never really tried.
Lately I've been trying to spark up conversations online or on text with girls I've met in. the past, talked a little with but never.got anywhere. They usually start off pretty well but i think i say too much or just steer it in the wrong direction and it just ends. I'll post two i had recently so i can get.some feedback.

So the first is this girl i met about 9 months ago. Hb8. Hb8 was introduced to me by a friend trying to hook us up. This was before pua had taken me in. We talked, found out she was in n out of a relationship with her bf (which is still going on btw). So i meet her talk a little nothing too big. But definitely establish a bit of interest. Though she's only 17 so i decide to not try too hard. We text a few times say how we should hang out but never do. Story of my life. Well time goes on few random convos and such. One time she writes on my wall saying "i miss you". I let it go but eventually give in with probably an afc response like i miss you too. More time. She randomly calls me late one night. Im just hanging out so i answer say what's up. She asks me what im doing i say relaxing but we should hang out soon. We hang up and she texts me a minute later complaining about her bf i say random stupid shit to try and help. Eventually she doesn't text back. So im reading through one of the posts on here about Facebook chatting "I've had a crush on you for years". I tried that out on another girl i didn't give two shits about. Kinda worked but not really. So i decide to text Hb8 and this is more or less how it went. She is now 18 btw
me: hey Hb8
Hb8: hey what's up
me:just making that money!
I've been thinking about you...

No answer

Me: don't pretend like you haven't been too!
Hb8: sorry im at work but why do you say that?
Me: am i right? Cause i have...
I was just thinking how much fun you would have if you hung out with me
Hb8: Haha well we will have to test out that theory

i didn't want to give in right away so i said
Me: well im all for experimenting
i hope you are too cause i like my girls adventurous! :p
Hb8:Haha your weird lol
me:you like it
no response
me: besides, i can tell you need something new in your life
No answer.
Me a day later: boo i thought you were more fun than this!

I had it then i lost it...
Similarly hb7.5 i was talking to on Facebook. Have known here for yearss but never tried anything. Though i do remember a few iois from her in the past so i started talking to her and here is this one

me: hey hb7.5
Hb7.5: hey!
Me: how are you?
Hb7: good good and you?
Me: good now
where are you these.days?
Hb7: i go to school in blah blah
me: Damn youre smart huh?
Hb7: i go to a music school. I passed highschool with ds Haha.
Me: well i don't think grades accurately show someone's intelligence at all
me: are you ever coming back to **where i live.
Hb7: i was actually Jus there.
Me: Nooo
and you didn't call me?
Hb7: what's with this sudden interest with hanging out with me?
Me: well I've always had a little...
You were just doing other things
Hb7:what?
Me: i literally just saw a horse drawn pumpkin going through town (cause i had)
Hb7: what?!? Finish a sentence before you start another one!! Hahaaa
Me: Haha sorry my bad.
But I've always found you interesting
Hb7: how so?
Me: well you were always so exotic
and wild
at least from my memories
Hb7: Haha. Damn nice words
me: Haha are you making fun of Me?
Hb7: no not at all
me: k good cause i mean it
so are you ever coming back?
Hb7: to visit!
Damn i sound pretty hot from your memories lol
me: i prefer exotic don't you c:
Hb7: yes
Me: so how come we never talked more?
Hb7: idk didn't have the same friends and you were shy.
Me: well i outgrew it
Hb7:Haha, oh (my name)
Me:yes?
Hb7: Idk what to say!
Me: oh i though you were trying to say something. I guess you just like typing my name c:
So next time you're in town we should refresh some memories k?

no response.

Sorry for the long post i just feel like if i can get this down the rest is cake!

Btw I'm more interested what i should do in these situations to not come off likeanother afc

Any feedback are all? However brutal

I think your first text convo was not too gd tbh lol. However my direct game isnt great so I'm not too experienced in that area.

But your second one was OK. You just shouldn't have said the last line the way you did.

'So next time you're in town we should refresh some memories k?'

Instead you should have just said.

You: Well next time your around get in touch (NO QUESTION MARK)


Also if girls are agreeing to hang out with you try and arrange something at the time. Think of somthin to to - anything mundane like chilling out in the sun with some friends etc.

i don't exactly know what you mean by gd tbh. But i do agree with learning to phrase things differently.

not too gd tbh = not too good to be honest. sorry was in a rush.

With phrasing things differently, generally try to say all things as statements, and not questions.
