Girl always seems to reply, sometimes within hours or even minutes when I first text but will NEVER initiate...?

It means one of two things... 1) you've set a precedent by being key-happy and consistently texting them (too fast, too much), and they expect you to always text them first or 2) they simply aren't THAT interested.

Guess its #2... I really tried to hold back the texting, taking it slower and slower and I still never hear back... Cold turkey'd her # for about a month till now and still nothing, don't know what to do to flip the script she is the type of girl that people chase and give her attention. She did say I stood out from the others but doesn't really seem to make any difference... Really piss me off when these lames just stroke her ego...

Then if it's #2, the fix is to change your game and frame. Doesn't matter that she says you stand out.

I don't know what I can really change with this one, she basically had me on auto-reject because of her "past"... Although if she gave me a shot I think she would see me a lot different...

You should have an attitude of abundance, be in the position where you have many different chicks to text, and don't be too desperate, that won't get you anywhere.
If a girl isn't texting you, hold off a while, and send her a opener depending on how you are with her.
Either "texting is fun!Hey!" or something like "can you help me with something ..... meet me at .... in 45 minutes I'm going to need help stealing a christmas tree" You get the gist.

Text game is pretty fun and easy but don't get too caught up in it.

I agree with that, I don't bother her too much really. And she definitely SEEMS interested because I'm making her laugh and she gets caught up texting me too. It gets to a point where we have a full out conversation, but I always try to steer away from that because that is how it was initially and it didn't help back then.

I appear as if I got many options (I dont really) and I show her an exciting/fun side... Trust me, Im no dull texter, i seem to be my best with this girl yet it never leads to anything.

Start joking about sex. A personal favourite: at the grocery store, take a picture of the biggest sausage you can find, tet it to her, and be like "I'm grocery shopping. Check out my sausage. Mmm." Or anything dumb/funny.

I just feel like I'm CHASING her and I'm making a fool out of myself because she doesn't put the same effort back to reconnect/hit me up. And I don't want to call her out on it because I don't want to let her know it bothers me, I mean she doesn't owe it to me but damn...

She knows I like her and she considers us "friends"... I mean even as just friends she can't just say whats up??

She just came back from vaca about a week ago (she was gone for ~2 weeks), we haven't talked for over a month... I'm really trying to make her work for my attention but it doesn't work at all... She is a busy girl though, she works + got school tho..

*I do flirt/tease her a lot but she only teases me at most...

You said she considers as a friend? Do you guys ever hand out or just have a virtual relationship, meaning talking on the phone, IM, Facebook, etc

If she considers you as a friend, I would atleast try to meet up with her then game her in person.

Get a girl to text back in a HEART BEAT!!

We went to school together but we never really talked much back then, we both graduated and got to talking. So it is a little of both... I didn't push too hard for a hang out cause she bailed twice already altho her reasons were legit. I just hate how the frame is set and its me putting all the effort/chasing so I try to play it cool and not push too hard on the hang outs... She does say she is down to hang sometime but she is one of those girls that never follow thru on what they say... She even said she would "msg me first" next time or "msg me later" and after couple weeks still doesn't go thru with it, or even find a good time to hang and she ends up not...

pick up phone, dail number, speak on phone, if no answer try again in a few days

speak with words and your voice, don't avoid phone calls cause you think they are awkward, talk on the phone until you don't feel that way anymore, invite girls out and try to sleep with them and stop worrying about who calls/texts who first, as long as she picks up the phone and shows up to meet you, who gives a shit

and those last two things tell you everything you need to know, give her a few shots and if she keeps flaking, on to the next one

After first, second, and third dates... I'm read to say:
New Policy! No texting of any kind after the date.

I'm sick of feeling slighted and would rather leave the girl saying "WTF why won't he text me?"

If a girl can't handle letting me know she had a good time and would like to see me again than Fuck her, an unanswered call or text not responded to just aggravates me. So cutting the game off at the pass seems like a viable option.

shes just not into you. no matter how busy or popular she is, shes never gonna be too busy for a guy she likes. so youve decided to freeze her out and got no response for a month. that sucks. youve pretty much become a text buddy only at this point. but at least now you know that.

with girls like this i like to end the text conversation on a high note and make sure im always the first one who stops texting. are you doing that? also never say things like 'ttyl', just stop responding. sometimes you can do all that stuff: text her rarely, be funny, stop responding first, and you just never get to the point where she texts you first.

personally, when this happens to me, i just move on. i dont like to chase too much. its just not worth the time and effort. i suppose ill lose an occasional girl that i could have turned it around with sometimes, but overall i feel like the effort is better spent pursuing new girls and living life instead of going down a dead end road.

I've only ended the convo once really, she always cuts it off but we get caught up in texting and its gets into a convo thing... altho i was steering away from that afterwards...

i know she isnt THAT into me or anything... she even said because of her past it would never work between us... but she doesnt truly know me, i know if we hung out few times itll shift the whole situation... i just hate being the only one puttin in the effort here... she says shit like "ttyl" "msg u later" "ill msg u first next time" and never comes thru with it... she even said she would find a good time for us to chill and never did... this is the only reason why im bothered and it makes me feel like im chasing...
