Some background before we get to the cringe. I hope someone else can benefit from my idiocy. Skip to TL;DR for the juicy part.

Girl is a solid 7. I've been this girl's client for about a year. In the recent months, she's starting asking me out to do things. This is the same girl that I posted about on my only other r/asktrp post. You guys recommended I tell her to wear yoga pants for the hike.

So we'd been on one date, and then I try to get her on a second one but she was busy, so I let it chill for a month. Out of the blue, she texts me again and asks to get together sometime and do something. Then another 2 weeks of silence as I offer to set something up with her. She's busy. I see her in person, she asks me out on a "night hike" sometime this weekend. Another green light. This girl loves to ignore me by text though. It takes DAYS to get a simple answer from her.

---------------------TL;DR---------------------

So you'd figure I'm home free right? She's practically throwing herself at me in person. I just have to DO NOTHING. I found a way to fuck it up. I got fed up w/ her radio silence, thought she was going to flake, and sent her the text in the image. I knew within 30 minutes I fucked up what was essentially a home run had I just sat on it until the weekend. Literally like 3 days.

Lessons I learned:

MAINTAIN FRAME - I reacted to her, not the other way around. Weakness.

Don't be a needy texter - This is my weakness. I'm good at text game when they respond, but nothing pisses me off like a girl who doesn't answer the simplest of questions for days at a time, especially when she initiated the whole thing. It's like she's totally fine with setting up a date with her only intention being to flake on me.

PATIENCE!!

Tear me apart, r/asktrp. I sent that text knowing that I'd probably crash and burn, but I want to learn too. I doubt she's coming back after that.
