Thanks dude. I DO have high self-confidence. I believe that I'm a good person with lots to offer. My previous post wasn't intended to sound downbeat or defeatist. I just want to be sure to game her well!
I forgot to mention that the lat time I saw her,we were with other friends. I forget the exact conversation or what context it was in, but at one point she said "I'm not looking for a boyfriend." I replied with "Neither am I. I'm not into fellas!" This made her laugh.
I'm not sure whether she intended this comment to be just for me, or for the whole group to hear, but anyway... do you think the fact she's (allegedly) "not looking" means I should just give up on this one?
Cheers!
A lot of guys here will chime in with what they think you should do. A lot of the advice unfortunately will be very very bad and a detriment to your game if some of the other threads are any indicator.
What you're doing so far worked! Have faith in your approach. Be natural, be yourself make her laugh, have a positive energy about you and the rest will fall into place.
Her "not looking" can mean any number of things. I'd frame it as simply a speed bump, a way of slowing the guy down so as to give you a better chance with her. In other words, many guys will get ahead of themselves and come off as needy, her "not looking" give her 1) an out if she determines she's not interested in you, or 2) a way of helping ensure you don't fast approach and come off as every other needy guy out there. Don't get caught up in "not looking", focus on the behavior more, the non-verbals as they convey 3/4 of communication...body talk.
In PUA lingo, I see no harm in viewing it as a "shit/congruency test" to weed out the guys who are wililng to persist from the weaker and sensitive types who'd cower and run off, having the fear of rejection overtake them.
Either way you choose to frame it, don't be phased by it. HOWEVER, the 'speed bump' way I spoke of earlier would suggest that you build comfort more with her before escalating, which would be my recommendation particularly given the fact that you 2 don't know each other very well at this point in time.
