Dwood......excellent stones on the "Brat" comment!! You are showing some very nice signs of innate PUA game. BUT...like a boxer in a ring, you HAVE use combinations. The fact that she texted you IMMEDIATELY was good... but you let her off the hook (and de-valued yourself) by saying you were flirting....why state the obvious? Of course you are flirting!

Here is what I would have followed up with....

Her: (instantly) How am I a brat?

You: C'mon...you know how you are a brat!

Her: No I DON"T!!! (I am guessing it would be something along these lines)

You: Look, admitting it is the first step in fixing this...

and take it from there....basically, you scored a perfect NEG!!! and by keeping on that theme without explaining yourself, you keep her off balance, guessing, AND INTERESTED!!

From what I have read this girl probably trying to shit test you with her on and off reply, and you did a really bad job at handling the first convo, however as things go on you picked up the essence of handling chick which is to ignore her.

However I have a feeling that if you do not get it right in the beginning, it is really hard to get it right later as she already sense that you are a wuss, or she just want to keep you on the hook for fun, my advice is continue gaming this girl just for the sake of practicing your game and move on to the next one, this one girl is just another practice, do not make her case count too much

Cheers

Thanks Witch, I had already taken that advice from some others.
Now for an update. i have been just going out and talking to a lot of girls now. but I have stayed in contact with this one, about once a week or so we will talk. Well tonight we were talking and I played a line I saw for flakes telling her it was nice trying to be friends sorry things would not work out.

Her: hahaha you can't get rid of me that easy!

Me: (15 min later) lol that is just because you have a crush.

Her: (10 min later) haha perhaps I do. Perhaps I don't. You'll never know!

Me:(15 min later) I will when you tell me. However things would not have worked out between us any ways.

Her: (1 hours later) and why is that?

I am stuck and do not know where to go with this...Help please!

Update to the situation.
I got rid of my oneitis pretty quick, and that has made a world of difference.
I have still been talking to this girl off an on to practice my game. any way this is how the last messages went.

Me: Are you smiling?

Her: (immediately) I am now!

Me: (3 min later) Every body needs a late night text to let them know some one is thinking of them. Hope you had a great day.

Her: (immediately) __my name__you are too good to be true! and I had a wonderful day!.

Not really sure still how to keep this going. seams like any time i try to open her up more than this she goes cold. So lately I will open her...but lately she has been texting me first because I went ice cold on her. stopped texting her calling her every thing. But I will still open her and then 1 to 2 texts and then cold for a few days again. Any suggestions?

Hmmm... Seems like make or break situation at this point.

Don't act needy. But you did confirm the flirting....

So now make her want you. You laid yourself out. Now make her think she messed up not capitalizing on those offers.

You can either have her for sure now, or you can possibly.. rub her the wrong way.. At the WRONG time.

My 2 cents: I'd say go with your plan. Stay cold more. She keeps coming back to you when you don't contact her.

The hunch:

She likes the attention and when she isnt getting it, sucks for her.

She is getting antsy when you dont text. Then when you do text, she gets her satisfaction knowing your still hunting her. And breaks, apparently.

Maybes:

Maybe she is putting you on hold for time being. And still wants you, and to be there. Or maybe (doubt it) she has no interest in you and likes having the attention. Talking to her girls etc..

Fact:

She likes your attention. If she didn't she would never contact you first. Period. Unless she's crazy.

My 2cents.
