Hey everyone, new to forum. I appreciate any comments.

How do you recover from this texting blunder?

Things are going well and I send a witty "when are you free to get together text", which she responded to within a minute.

I know she likes me, and we've hooked up before.

So she says, "Cool. I might have dinner with you maybe." after laughing at the joke in the first text.

To my non-stoned mind, that's a girl saying yes without looking easy.

But to my stoned mind (pot) I dissect it literally and respond with this:

"Intrigued. Now figuring out how to tilt "maybe" to "yes".

I was trying to be flirty, but left out an important section.
I have not heard back from her since midnight last night. Maybe it's because I inferred I'd get back to her. Or maybe because it's weak as shit. I just should have countered with a date and time.

We both see other people, so we are not priorities. Still, she's a cool girl. We do play games. A lot.

edit: looking at her personality, this was a playful yes designed to test. I failed the test by not proceeding confidently with a date. Wondering if I should acknowledge that her last text went over my head, and correct course, or just start in with a strong date/time and fun/humor/positive as if nothing happened?

It's amazing how I manage to talk my self out of great opportunities in text.

Here's what you do... It's a secret PUA trick: Pretend it never happened, and next time do it confidently.

If this happened days ago and you're waiting on someone to tell you when to reply to her, you should probably take more initiative

Don't be afraid to make mistakes, dude... There are a lot of other girls, and we learn by screwing up.

Text now, if you haven't already. You're waiting too long.

Attraction fades at a certain point.

Amen, I told you in chat a few days ago to just send it. I told you the same thing yesterday. Stop over analyzing everything and make decisions, just act. As a really good PUA told me when I first started out, "Less thinking, more making moves!" Then as one of my wings used to say, "He who hesitates, masturbates." Basically meaning to stop over thinking and get in there an open the set.

Is your text perfect, No. Is your text every going to be perfect, probably not. Is someone on the forum going to give you the perfect answer on this, probably not. As good as we all may be we do not know this person, you do. We know a small snippet of the situation from what you told us. You have already decided to break your own freeze outs and other things to telegraph your intentions. We can't change what you have already done which may or may not have had an adverse effect.

As a leader in what I do I understand taking the time to develop a situation but there comes a point where you just have to act or bad things are going to start happening. Your decision may be the right one, it may not be, it may be the wrong thing to do after hindsight is applied. Develop the situation as long as you can then you just have to go with what you have at that moment. It may yield a good decision or a bad one but you have to make a decision one way or the other, OR opportunities will pass you by. Better to take a shot at something and miss than wait to long and let the moment slip away.

We learn by doing, making decisions, fucking up, and learning from it. But she's special...blah blah I'm gonna loose this girl. Yes you may. She may not have been yours to have anyways. You'll have to move on from that and get on with life. We were only given one direction in life and that is forward. Send your text, make a decision before this moment passes by, and get one with it.

Less thinking and more making moves!

You guys are amazingly helpful. I'll send today.

Still hung up on texting versus calling, but texting seems so much lighter.

Just text, calling is so intrusive, people around here only pretend calling works.
