Sage:Hey
It's ok, I know you're blushing too hard to think of a reply. 'Hi' usually works well(Tease, DLV)

HB:
Hahaha and who are you????

Sage:And youre part Panda or something yeah?
Shit, was that supposed to be a secret? I wont tell anyone I swear(Yet another tease, lighten the mood of the convo and get rid of the 'Pick up on FB' vibe)
-> Over-teasing. She didn't even respond to them. Sometimes less is better mate.

HB:
Do i know you?? --> NOT really a shit test...

Sage:
Nope. I felt like getting to know a stranger though.
And you SEEM cool, dont know if thats true yet. (Reframed test into, "I do what I want to do.. If you're cool you'll go along with it.)
---> Agreed. Reframing is good. But again you're overdoing it and just qualifying yourself no matter what excuse you were using. A "I love meeting new fun people" should be enough if you're REALLY just doing what you want or better yet just don't respond to it at all since you don't feel the need to prove yourself to anyone.

Sage:
Oh nooo are you a shy girl haha(Shifted into my frame, took all the resistance and reframed it into her being shy)
---> Good move. Could have used this one in response to "do i know you" instead of that wall of words above.

HB:
Haha no...well sometimes but rarely lol

Sage:
Ah there she is, starting to open up a little (<-- A Smiley is a big reward I give to girls. Rewarded her for actually conversating)
---> WTF! Why rewarding her for ENJOYing a conversation with you? It should be her PLEASURE to talk to you. You're just making it appear as you're trying to win her over and finally she's being responsive but "hey I'm gonna hold on to my pride and play hard to get - by rewarding her like good pet". Any girl can smell this man.

HB:
Haha i suppose so lol

Sage:
Ah but before we start really start talking I've gotta know your age.(I really wasn't sure)

HB:
17 haha

Sage:
I'm 19, and damn

HB:
Lol sorry

Sage:
I really try not to talk to 18 and under. Any girl lower than 18 USUALLY gets me into trouble.
We can be friends though, that ll be ok. I think.(Begin Push-pull. Label her as a friend first. This way I have the power to take it away later. Very important.)

HB:
i thought that was the plan in the first place lol

Sage:
Yeah honestly I thought so too. Until I saw what you actually look like.(Implying that I want to bang her)
But its better this way, cause I defo can't meet you in person. (Implying that i'm going to control myself- set up for later)
Whats your number, I'll text you later. Going to grab a bite to eat. (Have something better to do)
---> WTF with all the implying. You're just qualifying AGAIN. Now it seems like you're just making excuses for messaging her... If you REALLY do what you want like you claimed, why care? Just say "Well gotta grab a bite to eat at this amazing restaurant I just discovered. Shoot me your number and we'll take it from there"

Honestly, you have good basis down but your online game or text game is quite weak. There are a lot you can do to improve it though.

That conversation has very little attraction or any emotionally connection. You were the one that was qualifying and entertaining her, not the other way around.

Thanks for the tips. I can tell youre the type to romance her over the internet, not really my thing anymore (its sad, haven't heard EC in a months). My goal is to get her out in person, escalating gradually towards Sex so that when we meet, she knows whats up. I dont really do anything special as a rule other than escalate. This way my direct game isnt a shock in person. I use only three phases of conversation: Social> attraction> sexual.

All that said, yes my text game is weak because of this haha. But trust me, it's better than it was~
