How do I progress?


Recommended Posts

I've been having trouble getting women all my life. Girls will often ignore my texts. I'm a virgin. I've never had a gf nor have I had sex and 21. I'm feeling like life isn't worth living and that I'm destined to a forever alone. This is a genuine cry for help. Please help. For the past couple of months I've been focusing on finishing my degree and unfortunately haven't had much time for socializing with girls. However, I recently started using tinder and POF in the hopes of finding some girls to date. I've matched with a few attractive girls on tinder but eventually they either stop replying to me or unmatch me I've tried many different approaches but nothing works. Quite frankly, it is driving me crazy. I am currently speaking with one girl from POF and it appears that she's interested in me. I don't want to **** things up with her. I will copy and paste our convo .Please show me how to progress from here. Please forgive me if I said anything silly in the convo. I have honestly tried everything and right now I'm just doing w/e.

Idk what a unique opener would be but I know that I'm more appealing than most guys are. So, here's my opener. Hi I'm *****. Nice to meet you.

After sunday

 

 

-------

After that we continued to talk about what she looks for in a guy and I asked if I fit her criteria and she said yes and then she asked me the same question and I told her yes. Then we talked about school about final exams. We've been talking for 2 days. I really don't want to mess things up. Please advise me.

Confidence bud. You asked like 4 different times why she messaged you, even ignoring her questions to do so. Who cares why she's talking to you? You shouldn't because she wouldn't be messaging you if she wasn't interested. That's 90% of the battle right there. Talk about her, make her sound like the most interesting person in the world. Women love to talk about themselves.

 

You also missed a few things:

 

#1- don't mention previous relationships, it's too early.

#2- get her number, don't use the app to talk. You should get the number within the first 5 or so messages

#3- be a little more flirty

 

It's all practice boss, the more you will do it the more you'll pick up on these things. If you need more specific guidance let me know.

Ask her out of course.

 

Why did you ask why she wanted to message you so many times? You are over confident in one message and seem to lack confidence in the conversation overall.

 

In other words be more cool.

Can please you give me examples of flirty things that I should say? Also, how do I go about asking for her number? I know it sounds like a silly question but there have been times when I asked a girl for her number on tinder and pof and the girl ended up not replying or changing the subject.I'd appreciate all the help that I can get. I'm really bad at this stuff apparently.

No problem bud. You want to be flirty and get the number, so let's combine the two. If I was in your position I would say something like this:

 

You- Can I ask you a important question

Her-sure

You- I'm talking to my ( insert app name here ) crush right now and I'm wondering, should I straight up ask her for her number and her favorite type of cuisine? "

 

And then play off the response she gives :)

If you're going to say something like this, you better be able to back it up somehow.

 

 

 

Your answer is too generic. I would have spent some time finding out what women don't like about the typical male profile and say you aren't that guy. See where she mentions the middle finger pics? Remember that and use it on the next girl.

 

 

 

See, this illustrates how your answer fell short. She was not impressed.

 

 

 

Never ask this. You're fishing for compliments. Women do not find this sexy.

 

 

 

I wouldn't be kissing her behind so much so quickly either. You don't know anything about this chick for you to say so many good things about her.

 

 

 

Why type "lol" so much? Don't. Also, your fishing for compliments failed the first time, that should be a clue not to try again.

 

 

 

Now you just sound desperate. Please don't keep asking women this.

 

 

 

Oh, heck no. This is her showing her lack of respect for you.

 

 

 

And this is you being a doormat for her.

 

 

 

Again, quit with all the "ha ha," and "lol" stuff. Also, this is your fourth attempt at fishing for compliments. Definitely coming off as insecure now.

 

 

 

Attempt number five at fishing for compliments. This goes beyond insecure.

 

 

 

No beuno. First, if you have to go, no need to tell her why, just say you have things you need to do and that you will talk to her later. You sound really desperate here.

 

 

 

This is a hint and yet...

 

 

 

...You still ignore the hint and try to talk to her later that night. She suggested tomorrow, you message her tomorrow.

 

 

 

It's too early for you to use terms of endearment with this girl.

 

 

 

Notice she doesn't respond the same way?

 

 

 

This is where you speak for her and say "You forgot to mention meet me for coffee." That would show some backbone. I never like to ask a girl out in a question. There is no question, they want to go out with you and you both darn well know it. If she does not agree to meet you that day, or at the very least give you an alternative day, you move on.

 

Thank you for pointing out where I messed up. Despite my various mistakes, she's still messaging me and asking questions. Does that mean she still has some interest and that the whole situation can be salvaged?

She should get the refrence but if you wanna be sure after she responds I'd reply by saying something like:

 

"Well, I just asked her ;)" or " just did ;)" followed by "I'll let you know how it how it goes"

 

Keep us updated, any more questions just ask

Me : I'm talking to my POF crush and I was wondering if I should ask her for her number and her favorite cuisine

her : hmm you should

me : I kinda already asked her lol

her : that's adorable. You're gonna have to wait until Friday because that's when I get paid and I'm switching carries. My favorite food is Mexican food. What's yours?

Me : I don't have a favorite but I love this west african delicacy called jollof .

 

Are there any red flags present? How should conduct myself in the interactions we'll have between now and friday?

I got bored reading that. Thankfully I don't use OKC or Match anymore, but that brought back unpleasant memories!

 

You need to just ask her out and show her you're "more appealing" in person. I doubt she's looking for a pen pal.

No red flags, you did great :) you don't want to overwhelm her talking too much so I'd try and keep it to a few messages every day or two. Keep the convo casual and relaxed. mention that you're looking forward to friday so you can call and set up a date at an amazing Mexican restaurant you know. This way she knows you just don't want a pen pal

What are some good openers to use when starting conversations with her? Also, what are good openers to use on girls I've never spoken to before? I've tried a lot of different stuff but nothing works lol.

Well, I don't really "prefer" dating apps such as Tinder but they're great if you want to play the numbers game. Got some hookups through Tinder so I will continue to use it.

 

Anyway, I have one opener and one opener only and that's: :)

 

Yes, I simply send girls I like a smiley face and that's it. Dont every text something after that!

 

Some girls just send a smiley face back, text hi or don't answer at all. But what most girls do is send :) back and if you don't answer after that they'll start to write "hi" or "hey, whats up :)" or something. In other words, you've got them invested!

 

Then you can start a little conversation and go for the number.

Can I get ideas or possibly a guideline on how to make openers? I tried the smiley and no girl has replied. I'd really appreciate help in this aspect of game because. It's extremely hard for me to get replies and it's becoming extremely frustrating. Wtf does it take to get these girls to ****ing reply?!

Jeez, you need to be less desperate. No amount of rejection should make you depressed.

 

Personally I wouldn't send just a smile as this makes them have to start the conversation but a simple hi, how are you is enough. It doesn't matter really as they will judge you on your appearance mostly.

I honestly don't know what to do. I'm a confident and masculine person but girls won't reply to me no matter what I do. This constant rejection over the years has made me depressed and desperate. If I can't get a girl to talk to me, how am I going to get married? So, since you said these girls on dating sites will judge me mostly based off my appearance, what kind of pictures should I be posting? Btw, I am having serious depression because this has been happening all my life in various forms and I'm 21. This is really affecting my my overall well-being and nobody is taking me seriously. I really need help.

So, the aforementioned girl from POF asked for my number and I gave it to her.

 

Her : hey its [to be withheld for privacy concerns]

Her : Good morning [to be withheld for privacy concerns]

Me : hey [to be withheld for privacy concerns]. Good mooring. How was your Christmas? (I texted her 12 minutes after she texted me )

 

It's been about 3 hours and she's yet to respond. Should I just forget about her?
