Her: Will it be just us?

You: Yes.

"Bring tha movies, I'll get you some skittles."

In all seriousness, tell her in what clothes you'd like to see her in. As in "Yep, wear a short blue dress and something hot underneath." It's assertive and makes a point where the evening should lead to.

Do not worry about what to reply. focus on the bigger issue here.

"I decided that im not going to bother unless she makes the effort. So I dont bother pursuing, and typical hamster she texts like every few days lets hang out !"

You need to set the tone and take the lead. Not bothering to pursue and letting her take the lead is not congruent with sending a "red pill reply". You have already failed to lead. Sending something else is not being in frame.

The lesson from this is not, "what line do I feed her next".. because that's bullshit and if that is all you take away from this then it will not help you when you have to come up with your own lines. Like 5 minutes after the date starts. You will come off as a fake, and a needy one at that.

The message is to set the tone and take the lead. Do that, do not worry about what words fall out of your mouth in doing so.

"You can bring a female friend if you want, although that's not the way I usually do things."
