After getting the number of a girl by doing a full straight direct opener (i saw you and i would kick myself if i didn't say hi, how can i contact you?) i decided to ask her out in the second msg i sent her (improving on that aspect, thanks for the help in the chat) Anyway, she said she's very busy with school and work and that is too soon cuz we barely know each other. How do i recover from this? I'm obviously not going to ask her out right away again, but my text game is not very solid. I know i need to scalate but that msg did left me a bit cold.

You can do a funny text opener just to get her to open up, a text just to see how her day is going and try not to ask her out every time you interact through a text either you will start to become needy and she will see that you aren't a busy person.

Not Every girl is going to be instantly attracted to you it is what you do that makes them attracted to you.

I had the same problem... but i fixed it Cocky Comedy comes handy when ur texting. every time u text her, prepare a SHORT DHV story to tell her such as "i was walking and This girl came up to me today, and she looked exactly like you,... (u can make shit up in the middle).. then u can say at the end she asked me for my number but i obv. didn't give to her.. if she asks you why? i told her I'm not that easy . you can neg and most importantly use COCKY COMEDY, this is how i fixed the problem and at the end of every conversation if u feel its not the time to ask her out just say "talk to you later."

I'm trying to think of a comeback for the last msg, something like "well, i don't know you very well either, how do i know i might be safe with you?" or some variation of it, but i don't want to make it sound too serious. That or ask something about herself, i'm ok with some jokes here and there, but i don't want to use something too chesy and random. Or just start a message from scrap like nothing and say something different.

She's giving you a shit test, obvs bro, take the hoop and give it back "Heyy I don't know you very well either you could try to take advantage of me" or if you want to leave it until later msg this to her the next day "Heyy just saw a puppy today and it totally reminded me of you , whats up?" and when she says "ahahah why a puppy?" you say "Cute but a short attention span". The key is to be playful and keep it light and when she starts giving longer answers and you feel she's more invested you set up the Day 2. Hope that helps man,
