This post had to be taken down because it appears to be focused on a specific situation or person. While Field Reports deal with specific situations and people, remember that the focus is different:
No worries though! Though the thread has been taken down, any conversations you have started here can still continue, and if you want to PM a mod to get their opinion on this thread, feel free to do so and they will still be able to weigh in.
For next time, remember that posts about a specific situational advice with a specific person are fine as field should be directed to Ask Seddit (/r/askseddit), not to be confused with Ask Reddit.

When you stop texting for 4 days like that, you lose the momentum you had with her, her mood changes, and things go cold, so any promises to meet up don’t go anywhere.
Your mistake is assuming that when a girl is interested in the moment, she will still be interested a few days later. That’s usually a huge gamble with women.
With women you have to strike when the iron is hot, and if you let the iron get cold, the window of opportunity to escalate or make something happen is gone.
If you can’t meet while the iron is hot then you have to maintain the heat of the iron, meaning you still have to text her, not go cold turkey.
Basically you have to start over from scratch now, you have to build a good vibe, similar to the one you had, and if she is truly engaging, then ask her out to now, not 10 days from now.

I use to listen to the old pickup rule. That you should wait X amount of time. Yeah that was stupid lost a few girls that way

Yeah I was not really thinking through that I was just going with the days. (I'm a bit scattered person) I also went through a lot of things on these 4 days that I didn't want to share with her yet especially over text. But I felt this "cold iron" when I initiated the conversation again last day and my last messages feels a bit "low quality" now.
I feel like a clown 🤡

Don't worry, we learn from this. It's easy for us to tell you to move on to another girl, but I have been there and I am also learning. Which is why I am back to reddit.

even if you're not "feeling it" during longer periods like that, send out just some random picture of you doing something fun from whenever ago, and no matter her response, don't feel like you have to follow up her response, in fact don't.
[–]CompetitionFair7686 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, whatever you go through, never tell them.
Women who aren’t your official girlfriends don’t want to hear your problems, they don’t want to pity you, and don’t wanna see your weak side.
And even if they were your official partner, then they also don’t wanna hear you whining, and seeking emotional support…,
They want to hear what plan you have to solve to your situation instead, they don’t want weakness ever. Weakness kills attraction, it turns you into their platonic best friend at best.
That still doesn’t mean you have to go cold turkey, because like i said you lose momentum,…But you have to show happiness and strength always, that’s how things work.

Thanks great advice. I've dealt with this more times that I would have wanted to
[–]RealLack1 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wait, 4 days is a lot? People get busy LOL. I can’t expect someone I barely know to care enough to be on top of shit by the hour. We’re not even together yet.

What should you do? I'm sure you know the answer, it's quite easy - do nothing.
If you're thinking of going for that double text. Don't man. The ball's in her court. We've all heard the tennis analogy before.
"What are you up to today?" is not a good question to be asking a girl over text at this stage of talking. It's sucking energy rather than giving energy. She's either got to take time trying to explain her day or she's got to be boring and say "nothing much" - in which case she probably thought you would ask her to hang out, which she wasn't prepared to do.
I'm sorry about it man. It sucks, especially when you liked the girl and thought you had something going, but it unfortunately happens time and time again.

Get your noodle wet somewhere else while her brain is processing

What should I do?
Go meet some other girls. And next time use text just to set up a date.
I also asked what is she up to today
And don’t write such needy shit.
[–]Smiley_Overl0rd 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Help me understand why asking "what she's up to today" is needy, some other dude ☝️ thinks it's low quality too.
[–]revente 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Because it looks as if you were bored and initiating contact without a value to offer.
[–]Smiley_Overl0rd 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
So what would be a better alternative text?
[–]revente 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
To answer and put the phone away. Or not to answer right now.
[–]IrrelevantAfro4 points 3 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Move on lol
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Talk to/date multiple at once. This means that if one goes south you barely notice/not bothered.
[–]Smiley_Overl0rd 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I keep telling my dudes this but they all think it's bad to have multiple girls u can easily bounce to when one goes south. Abundance is good.

Female imperative.
[–]norwegiandoggo 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wait until the day before the date and ask "are we still on for tomorrow?"
[–]sinhaanip 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
For one thing, don’t write long and frequent texts. Forget that she told she’ll meet. Restart. No neediness. Act cool and display value.

I'm personally fond of calling them out
"Hey I thought we were having good interactions, what's up?"
"I really don't appreciate you just deciding I'm not worth a reply, did something happen?"
"Hey, I've felt a disconnect recently, is there anything big going on in your life right now?"
Most of the time, the way they respond will give you a better answer than anything they say
If they immediately start spouting about their moms cancer or a recently dead pet, they're struggling with their own stuff and that's an opportunity to deepen the connection if you're interested, if not give her space and hit her up later.
If she gets mad or gives you excuses, I just unadd without another word. They know, you now know. No use in wasting the time.
Im trying this out next time, better than wondering why All of a sudden she isn't texting.
[–]The-Dude0411 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
A lot of times it helps break any sort of "ice" that may be reforming past the initial spark as well
They're recognize that you're calling them out and it'll cause something inside to get the responses that I mentioned (I trust there's other responses as well, but in my experience ya know.. but anyways), I try to turn that into an opportunity to become more flirty or push past any inclination that you just want to be friends
Like she replies going on about something that's wrong in life and all of a sudden I'm the guy she's talking to about it and after she's calmer and not sad, you're like in to a certain extent
I'm only 21 and figuring this all out as I go, so please take what I have to say with a grain of salt. I trust older women are a little different as well, which is a department I don't have much experience in. I'm just rambling now though, so Best of luck! !!

Small talk is boring to women. They get asked all the same questions by many men. If you're going to text try sending something unique. After a couple of text I usually just call them just to get my point across quicker.
[–]Smiley_Overl0rd 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
After a couple of texts calling is the way to go.
[–]hookedonfonicsmunky 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
the most i go without messaging a new girl.... like a 3-4 hour between texts, leaves them thinking a bit but give them some relief when you answer, and MOST of the time they respond quick with enthusiasm
[–]mangoem_8564 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You find someone else that will. Seduction is about having a mindset of abundance, if it ain't her its gonna be someone else. Stop focusing on just one person, its gonna make you look and feel desperate. People can tell that others are desperate
