Sorry if no one else cares, but re-reading this now makes me want to clarify it. The bold is saying that one message thread is still ongoing, not that one of the 5 dates is still ongoing (though that is true as well, but if I were saying that then the count would be off).

i dont mess with older chicks though. 23-25 prolly the sweet spot. they slowing down a little from party scene (which i abhor) but still aint in hunger mode for provider/family. plus i read books and have 10 years of life experience under my belt compared to ******s shes been dealing with. primetime!

40+ seems terrible.
Old chicks aren't as hot as a 23-25 year old obviously, but they are way more likely to hop into bed quickly, and be better at it.

I'm 29 and I don't bother much with sub 24 anymore. They're too dumb/confused. Maybe I can snag a hook up in sometimes, but nothing consistent.

I feel like 24-26 is the best age range to pursue, at least for me (29)....

Obviously not, I use direct game offline. Can't do online, like said I look like an ogre (or at least, I like to think so). I do say this kind of stuff when I get to know them though so it's kinda like me. But I can see that it can be perceived a bit "out there".

Thanks for the feedback

Agreed about younger chicks. Plus older girls will be a bit more experimental in bed at times.

25-26 is my ideal age. But no younger really at 29

Got a date set with a great looking girl in grad school. My hit promote me a million times and then only message hot girls who rate me 4/5 stars strategy is working well (not interested in looking at my statement though)...


So I suck at the whole follow up thing, swede that i went out with this past weekend is definitely something I want to pursue. I sent her a text on saturday basically saying i had a blast and that we should hang out again soon... she quickly responded saying yes let's absolutely hang soon, and made a joke about being hung over. I responded with something lame about being hung over too and we've had no communication since. Unfortunately we haven't really developed much of a rapport over text... Have i ****ed this up already?

Doubt it. Its Monday and you were with her two days ago and she gave a great response. Have some confidence. She wouldn't have wrote back if you ****ed it up. Or if she did, it wouldn't have been what she said

No, just ask her out again.

It depends on how much contact you've had. I tend to try once more, but then take a hint.

Yea. I don't understand why they don't just say they are no longer interested. Why waste anyone's time

People feel bad rejecting someone so they try for some ways that makes them feel better about it. I think if it's just been one date then it's fine, but after a couple of dates you owe someone at least a "good luck" so they know you're out.

How long has it been since you last sent a message, and have you met up yet? So many people on here start freaking out way too early.

Haven't met up. If we have I wouldn't be talking to them on okc. Messaged her today. Hadn't heard from her in maybe 3 days

When someone stops responding you just move on. But a few days isn't too long for a response, at least in my experience. Not uncommon.

You said messages, which doesn't imply only okc. Text messages are also messages, after all.

Yeah, you way jumped the gun by sending another message today after only a 3 day wait. You need patience in this game.

Dun goofd and double posted,

I'd asked for number and know she'd read the message yet not replied yet (either just thinking a little about it or doesn't wanna come across "easy" and so on, it'd only been a day). Then I double posted, **** me.
She replied saying she hadn't had time to reply yet plus some other flirty stuff and smileys. Which means it's still game on but I think I need to chill out a bit and give them more time.

^In comment to my previous post, I think it's likely she'll start playing games now that she possibly feels I'm chasing (she's 23 and they still do that stuff somewhat).

My instincts tell me that I shouldn't accept her dodging to give out a number and possibly ignore her until either she does, or asks what's wrong. What do you guys think?

I think you should go send 30 openers.

Keep sending openers until you are emailing with multiple women at a time on a constant basis (however long you want to do this). Eventually you will be doing this so well you will be first dating women on a consistent basis. Once you on that level you won't care that some 23yo you havent even met is playing games and will never have this dilemma.

Cliffs:
no more messages to her until she responds. quid pro quo clarice.

I just realized last night that on OKC you can actually buy someone a ****ing membership as a gift. As in, you're looking at a girl or guy's profile and you can gift them a 6 month membership. How creepy would that be.
