We get on pretty well. There's a definite mutual attraction and a relative amount of comfort there too (in the process of developing). But she sucks at texting. Its almost like she has a massive bitch shield on when she texts because she's very different in person. We don't text each other much as a result but I have to because its difficult to bump into her or find her any other way. I txted recently that I would like to see her musical talent and that my piano would appreciate her presence (or something along those lines) to a pretty dead "go on my website" response. I sent one recently saying we should hang out sometime (We had a semi-decent interaction in between these two text convos) to no response at all. It was an initial text so perhaps I should've started off with light convo but she's SO much better in person. Of the mistakes I know I've made on another note are allowing her to end most of our interactions, which I read on here recently how to avoid.

Any ideas much appreciated, thanks

Dude, recently i got two same situations like you: i text with them, we flirt, but when i want to set up a day 2, they are like: "im busy" or worse - the dont respond, and then they act like nothing happened.

But really, we must stop being needy. Just go out more and game other girls. If this one doesnt want to go on a date with you - fuck it! Who cares, you can always get other girls!

The game is a learning process. It takes some time to learn these closing tricks, dont worry, we are on good track.

If somebody else has a opinion, we would love to hear it

If she's good in person/reacting to kino/comfort building and whatever then perhaps she's one of those rare girls that hates texting. You can usually spot these girls a mile off because they dont have a blackberry, iphone, htc or some other smartphone. She will have some old shitty nokia.

Call her, if she doesn't answer then go be busy doing something.

I had this same problem and posted about day 2 flaking earlier. My new strategy is 3-pronged and it's 2/2 for getting a 2nd date (I know 2 is nothing, but I only figured it out like 10 days ago).

Basically, women don't set up a day 2 because although they were attracted enough to you to give the phone number, their attraction is FLEETING, and you didn't build enough comfort with her to guarantee a 2nd date. To get the 2nd date you need to get her thinking about why you're different and why she wants to see you again.

So, I figured I should improve my closing, and get an emotional response through the phone. To accomplish this, I've added 3 things:

1) After I number close, I do a "french goodbye." Basically, I ask her if she knows what a french goodbye is, and tell her it's two kisses on the cheek. After I get my 2 kisses, I pull her in for a hug, say "You're such a sweetheart, I'm totally gonna call you." and then leave. This way, I left on a high and kept her in a good emotional state during my close.

2) I phone her LATER THAT NIGHT. Why wait? You are allowing her to enter you're reality, you're not chasing her, but giving her the option to get to know you. I've called from the cab on my drive home from the bar, just have a 1 minute convo and say bye.

3) Improve your text game. Don't ask to hang out, don't ask how's your day, say shit that's charming/funny. If you met a girl at a bar, say something like "Be honest, did I have better dance moves than ---?" She should respond with a playful haha/lol and you know you're starting strong. After some rapport has been established (she's given me decent responses rather than yes/no's) I say this "I just saw something that totally reminded me of you." She will ask what and I say it's a secret, and that I can only tell her in person. This is when you set up a 2nd date. Don't ask for a Friday/Saturday until you've slept with her or gotten close, otherwise she'll think you're trying to be a BF. Ask for a low pressure, easy hangout, ie. "My buddy bailed on me for pool tonight, you want to come entertain me for an hour?" That way she hasn't committed a full night to you and is more likely to say yes. Plus it's not a traditional "date" and she will feel more at ease. Keep it short and simple and don't worry about being cocky/funny or running routines, you already have attraction, work on comfort/establishing rapport.

As for this chick, move on, I bailed on like 6 of the first 8 numbers I snagged when I started pickup (not long ago, I'm a quick learner) cuz I fucked up this step, and I haven't looked back.

Best of luck out there.

GREAT advice from everyone thanks will definitely take on board.

Turns out BITmixit was right on this one. Yeah she does have a shit phone and its very likely she does just hates texting. I got a response eventually and a D2!

Cheers guys
