Stop playing games and following random “rules” (that 80/20 bs you mentioned). That’s so stupid and immature. Hopefully she has moved on

It's not a rule it's a guide so you don't stress on what is said. Realize it's more what a person does than what is said.

Yeah, if im doing all the work I statt to feel crazy and like. Oh. This guy doesn't like me and I'm bothering and annoying him and I feel super insecure and move on
[–]modsRlameIRL 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Moving on after 7 days is wild tho… but at the same time 7 days no contact is wild too

bahaha, i'm actually glad this happened to you, maybe you can learn something from this. play shitty games win shitty prizes.
[–]Snakehead004 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yup

Talking to people shouldn't have you calculating ratios and do math on who texted how much and in how many days bruh, that's so fucking mechanical and emotionless
[–]detraxx22 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Don't see the point really. She is probably out for someone else
[–]Various-Replacement -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Do you think she could be waiting for me to make a move because she’s sick of always initiating
[–]detraxx22 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
These strategies are BS. While it's good to leave her initiate sometimes you should follow what you want, not what you read. Leaving her always take the initiative just make her feel that you don't give a shit about her and that she should also move on
[–]runaround_fruitcop 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Literally just talk to her when you wanna have a conversation and stop it when it's dying. It can be like once every 3 days or so and she'll initiate too. You don't have to pull back and make us chase you to the point we think we are acting like a stalker
[–]burakbenxd 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just reply like a normal human lol people don't have time for games haha
[–]br4hmz 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Pulling back means you shouldn’t begging for her attention 24/7, not neglecting like that
[–]modsRlameIRL 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Why are you even pulling back if she hasn’t done anything to deserve that?
Don’t be a dick. Message her with intentions of plans to do something, before you loose her for good. You don’t play games with people you treat you well dum dum
I’ve done this before myself tbf, it’s silly
[–]ReorgAtty -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
In my mind, you abused it. Nice to fall back a bit and let her chase, but no one is going to do that forever. You have to give a little too.
In my opinion, you should text her like your normally would and not even reference the fact you haven’t spoken in 5 days. Just pick up where it left off. If she asks, say you were slammed with work or something like that.
[–]hookedonfonicsmunky -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I usually only do that after the first time we bang to see if they're even interested in going out again, as well as not becoming annoying but after a few times of banging there shouldn't be any guess work
[–]auxmygawd -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The problem is you obviously abused the pull back. If she’s already initiating most of the convo’s you can just keep it going, no need to fall back.
Also in some cases there are also women that know they’re hot and have a lot of “boys” in line for them. They will rarely reach out cause they don’t care about losing one guy. The best you can do with those girls is just ask them out once a week and never message and call. She will see you like her but not smother her like the other guys with unnecessary texts/calls which will push your value in her eyes as a guy that has his shit together and tries to make time for her atleast once a week. Worked for me and can work for you too.
[–]-Mavs -3 points-2 points-1 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I believe in the pull back.
I think it’s your turn to send her something but pay attention to the response if it takes hours, etc and take it from there.
Ultimately, if she turns down hanging out then it’s time to worry.

[–]-Mavs 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It’s not looking good, my guy.
I know it’s hard if you’ve already caught some of the feels but I’d be out there looking for other girls.
Wait a week for your next text which should be for a date and if she says no without rescheduling to a specific time and place, I’d move on.
Best of luck.
[–]CardiologistBig8721 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Wait can y’all say more about this pullback? lol I had someone that would text me every day, usually with a question. I’d respond… say within the hour. They’d then respond like 8 hours later. Next day, repeat. I got so tired of the non conversations that I just let it die. Is this really a tactic?
[–]-Mavs 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Chick I'm currently kind of talking to responded well to pulling back; I say "currently kind of talking to" because I know this is a bad idea (we work together) and I should probably stop.
Got her number and disappeared for a bit (week and a half, maybe); had some vacation.
When I got back from it she came by (to my workstation) to visit saying, "you suck"; and I looked at her pretending I didn't know what she was talking about.
Needless to say, it works but probably depends on her level of attraction to you.
You see that texting sucks, "I got so tired of the non conversations that I just let it die" which it does since I believe guys should only really use texting to setup dates. Why waste topics over text when you should be using it in person.
[–]CardiologistBig8721 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sitting here nodding to all of this. Well played 😂 That innocent face after the “you suck” is gold. Thx for the response.
[–]grindforthegold 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
you can do it a little but if you keep doing after you have sex she’s gonna think you don’t care and just go for someone else . once your in a relationship in my experience those things don’t really matter the girl actually wants you to care
[–]grindforthegold 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
[–]Y33tCanon 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This. Games are fucking bullshit and waste everybody's time. Its one thing if you are doing a little dance before you start dating / having sex to see if each of your are actually invested (I don't follow this but I can understand it) but if you are already dating and having sex then why fuck around?
to OP stop being a child and playing games. Women see that shit just as much if not more than men do and are generally happy to move on to someone else.
If you want something go for it.

You used it well in the beginning but every once in a while you have to be the one chasing a bit.
[–]Various-Replacement 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Is it too late to chase now? Did I fuck it?
[–]onepunchmang0 4 years ago [recovered] (4 children) | Copy Link
It's possible to salvage it, you just have to take a shot. You made her chase you which is good but no one is going to chase forever if they think there's no gold at the end of the rainbow.

I mean unless your situation is an outlier... She pretty much did the same thing you did.. which is pull back. But she means it for real where as you were just playing games.
[–]Various-Replacement 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
So what does that mean for me in practical terms? She’s done or I just need to chase more
[–]onepunchmang01 point 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
You're done lol try again with a new girl and calibrate it better. But the fact that you made a whole thread and seem desperate for her I can't say you sound like you have too many options.
