I sent her a boring answer an hour later and she insta responded with another question, I answered and said I had to be up early for work (true) and was going to bed (not true), she again insta responds with "goodnight! good luck tomorrow!"

Maybe she was telling the truth before, but I'm leaving it for now. If she's interested she'll reach out again sooner or later.

Yeah she may just be trying to be nice so she feels guilt free. Is she typically a 'nice' girl.

Also, she might be genuinely keen.

Did you even mention something important you have to do tomorrow or did she just randomly throw in the "good luck!"?

I assume she's just trying to get rid of her guilt...I have no way of knowing other than waiting but it just came out of nowhere.

So I've been reading this thread on and off for a while. Seems like there is a lot of good info. I just opened a profile on a site but then realized you can't do much other than look unless you pay $40 a month on this site. Kind of crazy. Is that the normal rate for pay sites? Will be looking at some of the free sites soon. Wish me luck.

I told her I had a busy week at work so far and had to be up at 6 tomorrow, that's it.

Lazer you definitely don't want to push it. I've had awful results contacting girls in this scenario (might be batting 0) but if I don't contact them I get 'Hey, sorry I didn't get back. Would you love to still meet up if you want to' about half the time.

It's just so hard to tell. I think you have to make a read based on the type of girl tbh.

This is what I was thinking as well. Her way of "keeping in touch" seems to be repeatedly asking boring questions that will just cause any interest to dwindle, so the best course of action is probably keep contact minimal, and when her schedule opens up she'll get back to you.

Yep, that's my plan...that's also why I responded last night as opposed to today, so I had the chance to close the conversation (gotta be up early, night). Now it's in her court to re-open if she's interested, but I certainly won't.

Hi there,

I've been reading this thread off and on. It's amazing what a little honesty and a mass mailing will get you. I basically said "I'm looking for a hookup, not a relationship", and sent that out to about 40 women. Got 2 responses who were interested! And one was even literate (elementary school teacher). So we went out last night.

Good news: curvy but somewhat attractive
Bad news: dinner and movie but no trip to my place for other fun
Good news: Because she didn't stay the night, I was able to have my usual Friday breakfast at Hardees this morning! Their biscuits rule.

If you're looking to meet a girl online and have sex with her, dinner and a movie is probably not your best bet

I met a girl at a friends, she was really aggressive/outgoing asking for my phone number right away. When saying bye she invited me to a get together that weekend and i said i might be going out of town and hit me up any other time. She writes the next day so i take her out that night. We have a few drinks and a decent time. I invite her over and she says yes. Within 15 minutes shes ready to go home. When i drop her off she mentions the get together again and again i say i might be out of town. The next day i say i hi and that a had nice the time, she writes back saying the same. Two days later she asks if im in town I say no and ask her if she wants to hang out again. She doesnt respond. When i get back i message her saying hi whats up. She writes back says hi and asks about my weekend, i asked her out again in the next message and havent heard back its been four days.

Shes on a dating site and it says not looking for a commitment or anything serious. How can she go from being so aggressive and mentioning hanging out again to nothing? Any way to handle this?

This was my former career, so I nerdingly like to look at possibility 1 like this:



You're boy "A" sending "A" messages. You get chucked into your time slice, and she has a finite amount of time slices to give out. But if b or c rocks her world, you're **** out of luck my friend. That's why time is so important in online dating. A day late and a dollar short...

Possibility 2 is she's just the type looking for constant attention, and if a guy seems keen, she bails. Just stop talking to those. Either she'll vanish, or you'll get her drunk one night and hate-**** her. Then never talking to her again is +EV. It's actually not hard to reverse psychology type 2 girls. But it requires a sort of dishonesty and scheming that hasn't really been my thing. It goes against how I like to court a chick.

That was pretty hard to follow, but if she enthusiasticly accepted your invite back to your place and left 15min later... You messed it up.

you ****ed it up at your place big time.

roll with the punches, and on to the next one. also she was clearly attracted to you being hard to get (some people are all about what they can't have, myself included) so it's a win win scenario to just not gaf and ignore her entirely now.

Offf topic but: Between AC, Vegas, and PA, I've literally never been at a poker table and when the topic came up of where I'm from, there wasn't someone else at the table who at least grew up there/wife grew up there/or brother lives there.

Chief pot, was your place a mess/dirty? Empty beer bottles strewn all over the place? 15 minutes is pretty fast.
