Hey guys, just wanted to share an experience that has lead up to last night. I'm new to the forums and new to the game in general.

First things first, 2 months ago, I was living with my girlfriend of 4 years (I'm 23), and I decided to take the risky decision of starting my own business, which I've followed through, this put tension on the relationship cocktailed with a bunch of other hidden feelings of not wanting to settle at this point in my life. So in conclusion we broke up.

This brought me into wanting to obviously try and move on which obviously involved picking up girls, before realising I hadn't been in this position for 4 years and was now a rookie, which resulted in just getting ridiculously intoxicated, and waking up next to the ugliest hangover.

I then came across The Game by Neil Strauss, I started reading this last week and got very interested in some of the social psychology that was involved and read a whole bunch of stuff online, I went out last night, meeting a friend to fill the position of wingman. Here comes our first error, we were both wearing the same T-Shirt. Luckily I live close, I jumped in a taxi and went to change. Back into it and catching eyes with a girl I decided to just go for it, betting her with the five question game for a drink, we got to the fifth question and I completely fucked it up by not hearing what she had said and going 'Haha you said no, you hadn't played it before' (when she actually said 'you're horrible' (in a laughing-joking way)). At this point she said 'I didn't realise you were playing the Game until you fucked up Haha'. Anyway I brought her the drink and asked a couple of general questions and then I asked if I could kiss her. Worked perfectly. The night was great and I had a lot of fun with this girl. At the end of the night, I asked her to come back to mine, she declined but then asked to meet up with her next week at the same place, gave me her number and said to text her.

My question is what sort of process should I do here, what is she expecting me to do? and do I keep texting to a minimum?

Cheers!

Keep texting to a minimum, if she's going to be there next week then no point in dragging out the interaction in a message that will bore her, if she had a good time with you and you got the k-close then you want to keep her in the same frame, not move her to another one.

In terms of text game- mystery in annihalation method would ring and literally say

"Hey, quickly wtf is this song? - (high energy- like you were out at the time, cue random slighlty sexual song repetition), it is driving me mental! I can't remember who sings it, Ring me back when you know!, ok, bye"

The general point of this was to keep the frame fun, and to break the awkwardness that accompanies text game and phone game by not being ANOTHER guy, who is just like "it was great to meet you last night blah blah blah".

Make sure you are in a good frame when you see her again, and make sure you don't look like you've been waiting for her if you get to the bar before her

Hope this helps,

Most important thing you can do, is to game many other women. You also want to develop your own stuff and move away from anything canned. I think you are way too young to have the same girlfriend for four years. I made that mistake at your age and wound up marrying someone and later getting divorced. Get out, have fun, develop yourself and meet as many women as you can.

That is exactly the plan, I was reading some of 'The_Macks' posts yesterday, the opinions he was displaying got me thinking and sparks an inspiration to learn about self development as well as the Game. Yes, I agree 100% with being too young, growing from 18-22 developed my outlook on life, different ways of thinking/looking at things and generally interests and dislikes, too many factors change.

Thanks for the replies! Great help.
