JaneDoe35 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Texting is not always a great way of communicating - especially early on in relationship when you are just getting to know each other. If you are being funny - add the winking face....
Disenchantedly Yours Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I am in agreement with JaneDoe. You're response to her "morning" read less playfull to me and a bit over bearing. But you did mean it jokingly, it's just hard to tell the context with texting sometimes when you are the person on the other end.
mpc2012 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 why don't you say, "hey, I hope you day went well" if she replies with a "fine" wow, you might be in trouble.
oaks Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 How do i start the conversation again or should I even start the conversation again? Try "Sorry, mom, for being grumpy this morning". You didn't tell us your relationship with the woman... so it's hard to help... but when you have something to say, say it. Don't just try to start the conversation just for the sake of it.
seibert253 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Sounds like my W when she's PMS'ing. Go cold for awhile, let her contact you. Be the chasee, not the chaser.
jkam87 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 i have had experiences like this before. I like to be sarcastic, but that doesnt always transfer well through text. def add a wink face
EasyHeart Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Me. Good Morning Her. Morning Me. Why not good morning, you don't want me to have a good morning? Her. Good Morning That was earlier today, I just accepted that she didn't want to talk as i tried to be playful but she just gave me a lame reply. How do i start the conversation again or should I even start the conversation again?I hate to be harsh, but this seems like one of those times that only a little tough love is going to work: 1) You're boring. "Good morning"? Really? That's all you've got? It's your job to attract the woman be being smart, funny and interesting. "Good morning" is something you say to a stranger you see in an elevator, not to a woman you're trying to charm. 2) You're a jerk. This poor girl is nice enough to reply to your lame text and then you attack her by criticizing her text? Again: Really? REALLY? Do you honestly think some woman is going to want to converse with you when you attack and criticize whatever she says? That is not how you talk to women you are trying to attract (or anyone, for that matter). The reason she didn't text back is either (1) she is texting with another guy who is interesting and treats her with respect or (2) she decided that sitting alone staring at a blank wall is more interesting than trying to converse with you.
whichwayisup Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Me. Good Morning Her. Morning Me. Why not good morning, you don't want me to have a good morning? Her. Good Morning That was earlier today, I just accepted that she didn't want to talk as i tried to be playful but she just gave me a lame reply. How do i start the conversation again or should I even start the conversation again? Really? Why not pick up the phone and SPEAK to her. Say good morning that way, hear her voice and have a real conversation. It's too easy to take words out of context, through texting, emails and IM's.
Fondue Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Don't reply with anything. At least, I wouldn't. You would look pretty clingy if you did. If she wants to get in contact with you, she will. Otherwise she simply isn't interested. Sorry to be so blunt, it's best you just move on. Her interest level is likely lacking.
blueskyday Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I think your text came off (inadvertently) rude. If it were me, and you texted "...you don't want me to have a good morning?", I would have texted back: "No, I want you to f#ck off. " (But, I'm a smart a$$. ) I think it's on you to text her. That's what I would be waiting for, if I were her. Just send her a smiley face text that says "How's your day, Beautiful? I was trying to be funny this morning. Sorry if I came off rude. :)"
Afishwithabike Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Your text response to her "Morning" isn't playful. What was so bad with her response that you had to tell her what to say? There was nothing wrong with her response. Stop being so nitpicky. How exactly were you playful? I don't see anything playful other than you greeting her then correcting her greeting. I get that things get lost when you're using written medium so that's why it's better to call. You can pick up so much more in tone and intention by hearing a person's voice.
loversquarrel Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 You just effed up. That was a very unappealing needy text. You might as well move on and learn from your mistake.
dasein Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Agree that grinding on her was wrong and showed weakness. Wouldn't necessarily move on though. Call her on the phone and ask her to do something specific before moving on. The thing that many young men don't get is that when you step into the texting arena with a woman, you are stepping into their wheelhouse, not yours. An attractive young woman has more than just you trying to get her attention, never assume that you are on top of the stack by default, you usually aren't. The way you move up the ranks is also the way you make things easy for yourself. NO texting or even calling other than to ask out. Get to know her face to face doing cool, light things on dates. Keep asking her out until she says no. Once she says no twice without a firm alternative suggestion, move on. You keep your respect, waste little time, stay sane. SHE wonders what you have going on that makes you more in control than the other puppies sending her "good morning" texts. That is the source of attraction provided you meet her physical parameters.
