Hello! I'll start of by thanking everyone on this forum, I've done a lot of research during the last two months to improve my game. This website has helped me a lot, thanks everyone for contributing to help us less experienced!
In the middle of november there was a new, hot girl who came to a weekly event I go to. I got to know from others that she was from a foreign country and doesn't speak my country's native language that well. I happen to know the language spoken in her country so I headed up to her and opened a conversation in the foreign language. As I opened up the conversation I noticed how she lit up by the fact I spoke her native language, the conversation carried on and went fairly well. However, this is where I made my first mistake.
During our first meeting I hadn't really done any research about picking up girls, I just went by natural talent. This hasn't previously gone that well. One mistake I've done is waiting to long and not asking for her number. I did that mistake her as well.
I never asked for her number during that night and thought: "I'll ask next week".
Upon coming home I started to do research and learnt a couple of things.
When the next week came I opened up a conversation. Once again it went fairly well, the conversation was fluid and natural, without any awkward silences. I also noticed several IOIs such as: twirling her hair, leant forward towards me and looked me deeply in my eyes when talking. But I never dared to ask for her number.. The same was repeated during the next week, which was the third time I met her.
One thing I did notice then was that she didn't show as many IOIs anymore, this encouraged me to get the job done so the next week I got her number.
At the point when I had her number Christmas break was not far away, and during the break she would travel home to celebrate Christmas. This combined with the fact that I already had talked to her several times made me skip the texting, I just wanted to meet her before she would leave town. So I called her, we did some chit chat and then I asked her out. She agreed. But on the day of the date I got a text from her saying she was sick and couldn't come, but that she'd love to go some other day.
At this point I was quite sure that this wouldn't be going anywhere, but I decided to give her once last chance just in case she would have been genuinely sick. I called her back a couple of days later but she hit the deny button. I decided to move on.
After the Christmas break the weekly event continued and I went to it as usual. I saw her there but I did not talk to her.
During the following week she liked one of my status updates. I was kind of surprise because she hasn't done any form of contact since her flaking me, but didn't think much about it. I've met a lot of new people during the last two months and her flaking me doesn't bother me at all anymore.
This week I was at the event as usual, and she was there as well. As last week, I did not make any contact with her. But here comes the intersting part. When I was leaving I walked past her, as I passed she said bye to me in a kind of desperate tone. Confused and surprised I managed to reply but I continued walking and left.
I've been thinking of the situtation and I've come to a conclusion. I think she for some reason regrets flaking me. Here's my theory:
1. Flakes me
2. Regrets her decision and hopes that I will talk to her after the break
3. I do not talk to her
4. She tries to show her interest by liking my status
5. I do not approach her so she desperately says bye
But as I said, I've moved on, know a lot of new people and do not have any feelings for her anymore. However, I don't want to miss a potential opportunity, so I'm thinking of how to approach this. I do not want to push this forward, she'll have to chase me. If it turns out that my theory is wrong, that she isn't interested in me, opening a conversation would be weird and she'd think I'm a idiot who doesn't understand that she flaked me.
So here are my questions: How do I put her in a chasing position? How should I act around her? Do you think I should greet her the next time I meet her? What would you do in my scenario?
Big thanks in advance!
