Lost cause?

I'm new to TRP so take what I say with a large grain of salt but I don't think you should've asked "when are you free", just say "Let's meet on Sunday, at X place at Y time. Does that work for you?".

First off, don’t bother having a long convo over text, cause there’s no chance of increasing her interest over text only decrease it.

So go back forth once or twice then go straight to asking her out.

And her not responding means she’s not interested enough or has better options, but that’s just what you get with online dating.

If you don't set something up with a Tinder match within 24 hours then your efforts are better spent elsewhere.

Sounds like you already know what could be done differently next time and how to proceed.

You shouldn’t drag out getting the logistics set up

Don’t double text. If she ends up replying to you then set up the day to meet up. If she doesn’t reply then who fucking cares, you’re supposed to have other options anyway.

You are incorrectly applying the "wait long time in between texts" rule.

You already know you should have been specific when suggesting to make plans.

Place & time.

Yeah. I would’ve been more specific and set something up. Not sure why you’re beating around the bush on Tinder. She MIGHT hit you back up, in which case you should set something up. There really isn’t need for small-talk when it comes to Tinder. If you are going to use an app like that, get to the point.

When are you free? Weak as fu$$. Do you ever sidebar?

Got her number on tinder and I purposely took long to respond to her texts because I could tell she was doing the same.

Mistake. You should reply when you can, but be busy doing real stuff rather than pretending to be busy.

At one point she took 3 days to respond to me (convo was kind of dead) so I straight up asked her to hangout and she said she was down.

Because you didn't set a sexual frame and you texted outside of logistics.

Text. For. Logistics.
