lol sure thing my dude. when it eventually ends you can decide if you'd rather put that energy towards someone who actually likes you or if you'll double down until time stops trying to beg a girl who clearly isn't that interested in you to give you another chance

dude, she couldn't even send 'hbd' on your god damn birthday. i'd spare that for anyone i even felt neutral towards.
explain to me how disrespecting you in that way is normal, actually.

You’re making excuses. It’s pretty obvious. You’re making excuses for a girl that blew You off on your bday. Think about what that says about you.

good question my dude. why are you writing a passionate defence of her actions in reply to me and plotting petty revenge attacks against behaviour you are actively defending in the same thread?

makes no difference to me honestly. i am not your father and cannot stop you from pouring more energy into a person who is disrespecting you so brutally that strangers feel sorry for you through the internet.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, I agree with you. Dudes on this sub give up on a prospect way too fast and in general just attach way to much of their ego to the interaction. Girl goes a little cold for a bit and she’s dead to them. That might protect the ego and make you feel like a strong man with options, but at the end of the day it just means you get way less chances than the dude willing to sift through some of the bull shit. So long as you’re also talking to other girls at the same time, there’s. I reason you can’t send a couple more messages and try to meet up with her.
That being said, just understand this girls interest level is low. This isn’t a shit test or playful flirting, she was just disinterested enough to not care about your birthday. So sure, keep texting her and try to go that interest, but don’t expect it to go anywhere, and eke talking to lots of other girls.

[–]AO_I_V 11 points12 points13 points 3 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Honestly brev, you're better off dropping her. If she texts you do not answer, she already basically said she doesn't have much interest in you, and for you to not take the hint when it's blatant and keep being there whenever she texts, she's going to use you like a doormat. You reek what you sowe, tell her "yeah I'll take your shit treat me however I'll always be here" and that's what you're going to get.
[–]AO_I_V 8 points9 points10 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
It happens bro, and don't get hard on yourself either. Not every girl is going to be down and it's just how the game goes, it doesn't mean nothing's wrong with you, she just wasn't interested.
[–]AO_I_V 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's just female nature bro, girls are fucking crazy and I say that respectfully, but that's what also makes em unique at the same time and yeah of course brev.
[–]LucianU 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It was most likely because she felt, at least subconsciously, that you were desperate for her. And that was a turn off.
You are still seeking some validation, especially if the woman is very beautiful. The more you will feel good in your own skin, the less you will *need* to be validated by an attractive woman. You will want them, but you won't have that desperate need.
[–]leafhog 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Don’t message her and forget about her. You deserve someone who remembers your birthday.
[–]innergamedude 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
How are you getting this? The fact that she mentioned his birthday at all means she's more invested than having "forgotten" it and never raised it again. The only reason she's bothering to mention it is to point out that she "forgot" it. Either she's negging you, to disguise how interested in you she is, or it's just early, she doesn't really know you, and this is normal anyway. You're reading tea leaves here.
[–]chrisieg66 19 points20 points21 points 3 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Stop texting her and see if she re-initiates conversation . If not, move on, this one aint for you.
[–]RedditsOlderBrah 18 points19 points20 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
definitely. it's good to seek petty revenge for perceived slights before you even go on a first date. bodes well for the future.
[–]RedditsOlderBrah 10 points11 points12 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
in case you missed the joke no, do not start being a passive aggressive tool before the first date. or after the first date.
[–]Kronuk 14 points15 points16 points 3 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
You’re thinking on it too deep. She doesn’t have strong attraction yet. You said you’ve only talked to her for about 4 days now? I wouldn’t remember somebody’s birthday I barely know either, unless it was mentioned. If they told me and it was a few days away AND I was attracted to them the chance I would remember would be maybe 50%.
Also it sounds like you’re giving her too much credit by calling her sweet, when you may not know her well at all. Ease off the gas.
[–]Kronuk 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah man I guarantee you she isn’t thinking this deep about it so neither should you. I know what it’s like to get caught up overanalyzing though. Something I’ve learned is you can’t let a woman’s physical appearance affect your vetting of her. I’ve met some smoking hot or very cute girls that are straight demons once you get to know them.
[–]mabden 15 points16 points17 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You are texting too much. It shows you don't have much else going on, which is a sign of low value. Telling her your birthday was meh, paints yourself as uninteresting. Why should she care?
The phone number is used to setup face to face meetups.
[–]FelipepRntscRn 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Haha this scenario is pretty funny.
Some being harsh and telling you to ignore her, lots of butthurt people around here.
You are on the way to being ghosted or friendzoned as you are keeping track of every little message. Who does this? Someone whos desperate and has no idea.
Next time why don't you ask her out instead of just messaging endlessly. There's no shit test when all you have done is just message for a couple of days
[–]Viktor2500 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Bro, your whole analysis with the message lengths and the fact that you are fishing for a "Happy birthday" tells me that you are focusing on the wrong things. Why do you even text her that much? Just ask her out and secure a date, you don't have to be her text buddy. Also, the fact that you text that much says that you try to escalate over text and not in person, which I wouldn't recommend. Take all of what I said with a grain of salt though, I am also in the process of figuring things out, but that's what I would change if I was you.
[–]ourtimeforchange 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Come on guys have you no common sense left? Haven't they been talking for only a week? Context matters. I forgot your birthday means she IS pretty invested then. Not the other way around. She is jokingly signaling you two are people who should not forget each others birthdays.
Not answering for a couple of days of course isnt necessarily a sign of interest though. But it's early days. Time will tell how it develops.
[–]revente 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just get her on a date.
[–]Amalasian 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
care less and live a life.
the amount you care about this text crap is in oposition to how interested she is in you.
if you spend hours and make posts about it you care alot. so in turn she is in power to dictate what is important thus she has less interest in you. if you were to have responbded to her opps with something like you didnt msg me? didn't notice. she might get mad but then she is emotionally invested in your life more. meaning she want to take more time from you. it also means your life is interesting enough that she is not the core of it. and being the core of someone you dont know actualy well is cringe.

Lol. Love guys who try to have a relationship over text.

It's not a shit test, she doesn't care.
[–]bambam1911 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
ei bro cut down on texting her to much stop responding to her and sending her long messages u dont want to get to know her via text you want her in person leave some intrigue for the date leave the long messages for after u fucked her a few times texting is a means to an end to get her to the inperson meeting used to build some comfort and tension you are investingway to much in her

Woman are bat shit crazy. When they pull away let them leave.

Looking at your comment thread and posts on this thread you’re oozing desperation. Don’t post articles if you don’t wanna get bad reviews.
[–]johny_white 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Bro, the neediness here is on extreme levels. Why do you give a shit?
[–]New_user_ok 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Personally I’d just straight up ask her out and the response (or lack of) will give you your answer or a date
[–]Professional_Ad_78 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
At this point, go for the meetup. No harm in texting her back with a challenge - “what are you going to give me for my birthday?”. Or, just ask her out - “you forgot my birthday, I’ll let it slide this time if you come meet me for drinks & food on Tuesday at [this amazing/fun place].”
Stop dwelling on text, meet her in person. Good luck!!
[–]Key-Western7803 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You said it’s going good but she didn’t reply to you for 2 day and forgot it was your birthday. Which part is going good?
[–]Bingo_is_the_man 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Not trying to be a dick, but I believe OP may have autism/aspergers, based on the highly objective way in which they are breaking this down.

Lost cause man look at actions you’re not a priority
[–]MocDcStufffins 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
My typical response to something like that would be. "Its okay we can find a way for you to make it up to me." Then depending on how the previous conversations have gone I would maybe include a wink or demon emoji.
The key is you don't want to be too passive about it like. "It's ok its no big deal" or too agressive or pouty. Be playful and make sure you don't sound like you put her on a pedestal.
[–]nanoepoch 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You're too attached to texting. I think texting should be encouraged, but it should be treated as an in person casual conversation. Four days in you were hoping to get a "happy birthday" from a girl that was probably busy or distracted. Not everything a girl does or doesn't do is a shit test.
[–]Superb-End6273 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Omfg you had me laughing my ass off... a shit test?!? Talk about over analyzation. Who's tutorials have you been listening to? ToddV? RSD? Whoever it is that taught you that shit you should stop wasting your time learning from. You called it a "shit test" so im gonna assume it's from the PUA community.
So, how do you deal with when a girl is really testing you? Its simple just don't fold. Whether that means entirely ignoring it and continuing the convo or addressing it in a way where you can put yourself in a good position.
[–]bandsupjay 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Its not a fucking shit test its her being a normal human being and actually forgot. Yall gotta stop with this bullshit and just have civilized communication lmfao this is why yall dont get laid. All this back and forth “we took turns talking her turn then mine i send small she sent long” is bullshit and felt like i was reading a maze. Like just stop. You’re overthinking and confusing your own self.
