Duty noted on text game. Here's an example where I put text game into better use:
Her: Yea no prob. I'm gonna go hop into the shower, k?
Me: If only it was my shower

Her: lol
Her: Showa time!
Me: Pics?

Her (45m later) Putty
Her: Outtt*
Me: I was gonna say, that's what you turn into during my massages

Her: Lol
Me: My warm hands on your back, your shoulders... working into your arms, and legs... and your thighs....

Her: Stopit
Me: Working into your muscles...caressing and wandering...
Her: 0_0
Me: Stroking every inch of your body... keeping you guessing every moment where they are going next...
Found out later she was on the phone with her ex during this time, and still responding to my texts. Nothing ended up happening, she was too busy with schoolwork, but this is an example of what sort of stuff I text when I've got my emotions in check. I definitely didn't the other day... I just wanted to appear aloof and unavailable, and uninterested. I've also tried that approach by directly making sex a condition for hanging out, and learned as well that'd a poor route to take. I really should read more into the "Ultimate Guide To Phone and Text Game" when I have a chance. Painting sexual imagery is definitely something I can do more often, regardless.
As far as validating my feelings, they came up last Saturday (the 17th). Don't worry, as a former AFC I kept it simple: I'm starting to have feelings for you, and interested in something more exclusive. As I figured, I was shot down (I don't have those feelings, and really enjoy being single right now) but it also eased her worry that I was just using her for sex. In fact, if anything, the FWB attachment became stronger as she stayed the night again and we had some pretty good sex the next morning. She wanted me to rip her panties off and tie her to the bed, someone we hadn't done in weeks. Yeah, my inner AFC did need some validation, but at least now I have a good mental reason to emotionally detach while continuing to fuck her. All in all, though I didn't get the response I necessarily wanted, I believe it was honest and didn't ruin a damn thing. Back to reinforcing PUA ways: becoming less available, game other girls, and focus on myself.
I certainly understand why you tell me not to "confess my feelings" as I've done this before in my total AFC days and it always ended badly, but it always allowed me to move on afterwards. In fact, the last time I gave a girl "I like you" speech, the girl changed her behavior towards me and broke up with her boyfriend days later. Another one that thought we were platonic friends I k-closed out of nowhere - "I didn't think you were interested like that". What I'd like to argue is that if you want more from a woman and suspect she does as well, sometimes a verbal expression is needed to either advance the interaction or nip it in the butt, but I'd never do it again unless we were already in a sexual relationship. However, I will agree that for a real PUA that no such expression SHOULD be necessary, and they'd be able to completely lead the interaction through action and behavior.
Any more thoughts on this?
