Points #5 and 1 are the best: The Ben Franklin Effect is still one of the cooler little looks into our psyche. A powerful tool when used correctly. As for #1, Embarrassing situations just bring a more human level to you. If you handle embarrassment with a smile and a laugh, it shows confidence. If you have a poker face, nobody can relate to what they're seeing from you because you're not showing anything.

If the girl doesn't mention it, that's a serious green light for you. She would've dropped the bf bomb at any point during that night if he was important. like devilmirage said, it's not serious/it's on it's way out. I've had instances where the relationship was on the tail-end and I just kinda swooped her up.

lol that's not the point. the point is some/most of these girls are real young and likely a little uneasy going to a guy's place so quickly. Just gotta build trust dude, feel it out. Casually throw the invite out there after 2-3 dates, if she says no, no big deal. Doesn't mean she's not interested, it just means she's not ready.

Go with #1 (or #2 if you prefer) style. Girls are typically in-decisive when it comes to this stuff, give them one or two days to work with This exact interaction has happened over and over: me: "Let's go out this week and do ____, how's thursday night?" her: either a) "sounds great! see you then" or b) "I can't do thursday, how about or night instead?" or c) she's not interested and just says she's busy all next week bla bla bla She either accepts or offers you her schedule without you even ask…

This was in the movie "hall pass", and a very common line, but still totally fine in my book. If the girl is smart enough to say "enough to break the ice yah yah" thinking she's cool, just respond "no, they can range from around 800-1500 lbs"

Don't stress about your opener being "original", it rarely matters. All that matters is that it's confident and casual. Especially in your case, you just moved into university? Everyone is basically in the mood to meet people, don't stress.

haha don't worry about it dude. Sounds like you're just dealing with a ton of emotions right now. I'd say top priority is to not put too much pressure on yourself, and have fun. fuck what other people think. you wanna hook up with someone at the rave? then do it, it would be fun. not feeling it? don't beat yourself over it. you are your own person dude, remember that.

Just don't fear the friendzone, and you won't find yourself in it. Honestly dude, as a college freshmen, befriend EVERYONE anyway. Who fucking cares if one girl wants you as a friend? Guess who she has, other girlfriends, who are also ready to mingle. Be playful, tease them, be fun. Being "Direct" is all contextual. There are times where you should cut straight to the point, and there are times to be fun and have a good time/meet people. College parties/freshmen year in general? Well the answer …

/r/seduction27/08/12 05:05 AM

OP makes sense, and no this wouldn't be a one-way ticket to the friend zone. In fact, if you're confident and honest, that means you won't be laying yourself on the ground like every other guy who is too amicable and frankly dishonest at times about what they actually want to do to let the girl know. If you show true honesty and build trust from the get go, the girl will know what you're doing is exactly what you want to do, with conviction. And that will gain her respect.

I'm not sure what advice you're really looking for, but all I can say is a lot of guys can relate to your situation. So don't worry, you're not alone in the least bit. You don't have to kiss someone that is foreign to you, you shouldn't feel pressure to feel comfortable with that idea. Sounds to me like you just need some time. Work on yourself, try not to focus on the issues you've had with other girls or the issues you had tonight. An Ex can be a very tricky thing, and it'll conjure up a lot o…

want my honest answer? just don't respond for long periods of time. If she ever asks, just don't make a big deal about it. You can either make a joke, or just say "I'm just not a big texter". Texting should NOT be a big deal. I can't stand constant texting, sucks so much fun out of things. I guess it might be a little odd since you now set the standard of texting with her all the time, but oh well.
/r/seduction27/08/12 04:53 AM

To me, it sounds like you're trying way too hard. Girls don't want guys that are only trying to get with them, they want guys that are having fun. My advice would be to stop putting so much emphasis on getting with girls, and more emphasis on having fun with everyone around you (including guys), and getting to know them. You're a freshmen in college dude, start meeting people! Don't worry about kino, it sounds like you're forcing it. Kino is suppose to enhance a conversation, not take away from …

not giving us much to work with here, but i'll try anyway. keep the meetup casual, be confident, and most importantly, have fun. You shouldn't proceed based on how you think SHE feels, you should proceed based on how you want to. That includes what you're doing in the meetup/date. Is it getting boring just sitting? take her for a walk. etc.
/r/seduction27/08/12 04:27 AM

my biggest tip would be to not focus on texting. I'm sure she "loves to text" but what she'd love more (or should) is to meet up with you in person. Too much texting is always a bad thing, arrange a meetup.

Well if you want to let her down, then let her down. Say hey all this casual flirting is great and all, but I realized I don't want it to go any further. Just a heads-up, it's probably going to make her want you more, just by this brief FR. But honestly, I think you kinda like this girl, and like the attention. Don't be afraid that you'll slip into AFC mode, just realize that you have to be solid in your decisions and that you're doing any single action for you, not for her. She'll respect that.

time and time again, the advice given is to "get involved" in anything that you care about. However, considering you've been struggling with severe depression over the past couple of years, I'm sure that's easier said than done. However, that piece of advice still stands, and should help pull you out and get you in the right mindset. Not feeling the motivation right away? I'd say to hit the gym a few times a week and hit up your acquaintances to catch up/touch base. I'm sure it's not ideal, but …

this guy is right, your texts weren't needy at all and you shouldn't feel needy for wanting to see a girl that you like. You handled it fine, she's just missing out man, find new girls

I think textgame can be interesting and fun, but I think the number one rule is this: keep it short If you have text anxiety (a lot of guys do) - the key is to not be too chummy (playful/teasing is obviously great) and to be assertive. If you have any concerns about a text, ask yourself why you're sending the text. Is there a purpose (setting plans for the night, etc) or are you just texting just to keep the conversation going? If it's the latter, nix that and get a strong purpose. This is a goo…

You have to understand this community has shifted a lot. There's no denying that certain members of the PUA community are idiots who don't know what they're really talking about, and try to sell their methods to nerds who don't know better. It's just fact. This particular subreddit has gotten much better about focusing on self-confidence and inner-game, and molding your game to fit your personality.

This is the right subreddit for it, don't worry about venting a bit, it's happened many times here. The only issue is that you're not giving us much to work with in terms of giving specific advice. You say you're a coward, but do you have big AA? Problems with overall confidence? Carrying conversation? Showing interest in a girl beyond friendship? I'm sure it's a mix of all, but if that's the case and you're at square one, the sidebar is always a decent place to start. I'd say hit the gym. 5 day…

This is just...I don't even know where to start. First of all, you are DEEP in the friendzone. Anyone could see that just from the texts. Any girl who calls you darling like that...yeah. If this is your version of "flirting", you really need to re-assess what flirting actually is. The texts are wayyyy too chummy. It's like two girls gushing about reuniting. You won't break the friendzone with this chick, I can guarantee you that. Just take this lesson and move on to other girls. I'm not even sur…

You asked for the biggest lie, and that's definitely the one. A few more that would've come to mind back in the day (you should neg a lot, alpha bullshit, etc) have been snuffed out more recently with focus shifting on inner-game and confidence. Surely it's not a lie that those tactics can work, but the idea of exploring other ways of pickup while still being your own person has taken over in this subreddit, and I think that's a good thing.

That looks don't matter. I'm not bitter, I'm lucky enough to be solid in this department, but it kind of makes me upset when certain members of the community, most of whom are probably decent looking, try to stress that once they gained confidence, things just fell into place! Sometimes, you had the looks but never the confidence, and once you got it, you start seeing headlines in this subreddit like "just go try it guys! I can't believe how easy this is!" Sometimes this involves just getting in…

I think that if you go straight into the interaction by treating both girls equally (potentially even showing more interest in the one you're not actually interested in, while still giving positive body language to both), you'll disarm most hostile feelings from the girls. Once they get to know you, you can make your intentions more clear. If it's just the two of them, you'll almost never pull her away for the night, but if you can get a number and a prospective date setup with the one you're in…

Good points, ones that aren't made often enough on this subreddit specifically, but of course stressed very heavily in other ones. Hitting the gym is still extremely important in building confidence (and muscle), but in terms of raw weight loss (if you're in need of that) - diet is king. If you have a shit diet, it just doesn't matter if you hit the gym, you won't lose significant weight. Additionally, you'll feel a hell of a lot better (read: more confident) after a few weeks of your new diet, …

I don't think the skills are really all that different, ESPECIALLY in a casual fling. It's when you get into a real relationship that things become trickier. Just keep it casual, keep the intentions clear. It's casual sex, not rocket science. If you get jealous, that's on you to deal with. Don't bring it up with her, unless you actually want something more than a fling.
/r/seduction22/08/12 05:00 PM

For those thinking this is bad, it's so far the opposite..I can't even stress how great this kind of interaction is. You gained confidence in talking to a beautiful girl. Sure she dropped the bf bomb, but she obviously thinks you're an interesting, funny, confident, and cool person to hang out, and very likely will do so. And she very likely has like-minded hot friends that would probably be more into you just because of that. I can't stress how easy it makes your life to have a girl who's hot b…

Agree with this guy, you went a little too strong with that initial text. good intro to the date, but you slowplayed it a little too much. We'll see, all of these things shouldn't be TOO significant if she's interested.

I don't think it's more challenging, just different. Some girls will open up and respond much more positively to a good date rather than some smooth moves in da club. but yeah i hear you, it's definitely a different beast.

Yeah none of this is bad. I like some of the texts a lot, only one I don't like I'm not big on is "No worries, what's tomorrow look like for you?" A little too easy. The date cancellation on Monday is really irritating, I'll agree with that. One thing though, there is a slight chance she also had fun with another guy that night, but not as much fun as with you. And there's a chance that guy was equally cocky. What if she's still unsure of who it is? lol I'm just saying, there is a 5% chance of t…
/r/seduction20/08/12 08:07 PM

Yeah simple enough, I think I'll just take this as another quick learning experience. If I would change anything, It'd probably be to re-take control of the date/conversation when it was getting to be all about her about halfway through. I sort of just let her talk to her hearts content for 10 minutes, but I'm getting the feeling she likes to be put in her place/challenged consistently, even more so than other girls. I'll just let it sit for a week and see where it lands.
/r/seduction20/08/12 07:53 PM

Well that's perfect, a two-part date. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong connection through conversation at the table, be confident, be funny, don't be afraid to break out of the ordinary questions. Kino if it comes up naturally, but don't sweat it. If you think this will be hard for you, then just think of questions beforehand like - "what's the best homecooked meal you make?" which is very innocent but can lead into playful stuff like "well maybe i'll have to come over and try it so…

I have to say you did fine considering your in-experience and all, but in your future efforts to get a #, don't ever say "do you text btw?" or "let's text" or anything that involves the word text. never ever. This implies you're getting her number to TEXT her, when it should be to take her out. I like to feel out a situation and say "let's get drinks sometimes" or "we should get lunch" - that's the purpose. She says "yah that sounds good!' - "ok what's your number" "xxx-xxxx" - "ok cool, i'll te…

Depends on what kind of person you are, but I'd jump on that boat. Granted, it also depends on the women, but I think if I had to choose between living with two random dudes versus two random women, I'd pick the women. Ideal scenario is you be-friend them, get on their good side, and connections will naturally flow in. I've lived with a girl before (dudes and girls in the same apt), and she has friends over, and those friends are willing to do things, great things, especially when the girl you l…

She's not doing it to build attention and attraction, that I'm 99% sure of. Telling her to "start it this time" wasn't a terrible move I don't think, but in fact texting with you might've just gotten a bit stale at this point. I find it hard to believe that she'd be shy to start things off with what you've said previously. It's also possible she just didn't know what to say to start things off, but either way I think over-texting with someone early on (or ever really) is a huge mistake, one to b…

Since it's all contextual, I guess I'll just go by location (for reference, I'm talking mostly out of my asshole, but my asshole knows a thing or two about kino, aaand I'm realizing that sounds terribly wrong.) Bar (or club I guess) - it's just too easy here. Any bar is loud, and if you're actually trying to engage in conversation with someone, chances are at some point she'll speak too softly.

There's key stuff being left out. But from what I can tell, there's no text that you could send that would give off an "alpha" vibe if she's already stopped responding to you. What texts did you send her already that she didn't respond to? What happened during the meetup besides 45 (LONG TIME) minutes of making out? no escalation? Good advice can't be given until these are answered.
/r/seduction20/08/12 05:02 PM

Yeah this should be pretty simple if you had a connection, I've set up many a casual date using FB as the only connection past the initial meet. If she's online, have some casual fun conversation for a few minutes, and then ask for her number, don't talk too much before asking for a lunchdate. If she's never online, just send her a message saying "hey we should get lunch sometime this week" - straightforward and simple, don't wait too long.
/r/seduction20/08/12 04:54 PM

Well honestly, sometimes it's not a bad thing. As long as you open, most girls are pretty willing to talk about themselves and as long as you're a solid listener you'll be fine. Just walk up and introduce yourself, and depending on where you are, there should always be at least one obvious contextual question (what are you drinking, what are you reading, etc). It's just like taking any plunge, the hardest part is usually just starting.

"re-producing" this feeling would just involve getting your body and mind to feel the happiest they've ever felt in your whole life..ever.

Getting into "state" is something that comes easier for some than for others, and that's why a few drinks usually gets most guys loosened up and ready to be fun, outcome independent, and confident.

I don't disagree with responding in a timely fashion at all, that's good advice. I just figured there had been no communication at all between the two since the date, and that he shouldn't fault himself for waiting 3 days to arrange another date/start contact up again.
/r/seduction19/01/12 06:50 AM

if you did, it wasn't because you waited 3 days to text her. How did the third date go? were you moving too slow? chemistry/spark dying a little bit? if all three dates were "pleasant" with mild conversation each time and no real escalation, it could be that she lost interest.

whatever you do, don't jump at her first invite of wanting to hang out. She's blown you off for "other friends", you do the same.

great job on the walk away after the declined invite rather than a rationalization of why they should play, a textbook mistake so many would've made. Since I don't know why the closing was weak/the full details of the game of pool, I'd just say maybe the girls weren't particularly interesting to you? Did you feel any connection or were they just cute? Either way, good way to start getting back out there.

the way this FR is told makes it sound very weird. Was she sitting next to you but talking to someone else as she was looking away? or was she just speaking low and looking away but meaning to talk to you? If it was the latter, at the very least you could've just said "speak up a little, it's called inside voice not silent voice" or something to that effect. Slight neg, but playful.

yeah, since you guys are neighbors there's an obvious "well fuck it we live right next to each other let's just hang out" vibe that could eventually happen (that was probaly part of the reason for the "I'm bored all the time" comment, just to see if you'd hang out and shoot the shit during the week), but it's probably in your best interest to keep that distance as best as you can.

Sounds like you did fine. It sounded like the girl was a little interested even before the night started, probably a physical attraction there.

I mean, not that this isn't great for you and all but, in terms of "the pull" - you and "L" just started chatted and hooking up on the dance floor. From there on out there was no description as to what you did to get laid or any lessons learned. Sounds like a very simple "we both want to fuck" kind of night

That's a decent opener. I've had this happen to me a few times too. But really, ice breakers matter even less here than it does when meeting a brand new chick because there's already SOME kind of connection here, this is a semi-date (or actual date) that needs to have some kind of substance in it. Just be confident, as long as there was chemistry at the bar/club, realize that there will still be chemistry here assuming you two weren't both completely blackout and are actually completely incompat…
