Another example of what I call a her focused conversation. You just keep asking her small talk question after small talk question, never imposing YOUR OWN opinions, beliefs, experiences, and personality on the chat.
You spent 95 percent of the of the chat talking about gaming, not understanding that while this can be a starting point, you need to move on from it. You claim you're not even a "big time gamer," so why are you stuck on this one topic, rather than talking about something else? And here's the crazy thing: Despite spending all of this chat talking about gaming (with a bit of TV thrown in), you did not tell her a single game or TV show YOU liked. Nor did you suggest that you and her play one together. You're just a faceless interviewer, asking her questions anyone can ask and not building on anything to create a real emotional connection.
Flirtation involves a conversation about YOU and HER, not third parties or ideas. It really doesn't take much. But it does require a shift in your thinking. Yes, it's fine to be curious about her. But I'm equally as interested in expressing myself, being playfully challenging, and seeing if she can handle my unique perspectives on the world. Also, at some point sooner rather than later, you need to ask her out. But there's no sense you're any closer to doing that in your last message than you were in your first.
Finally, you need to lighten up. If you communicate with women in a hyperformal way, that's the energy you get back. But if you're playful and start assuming familiarity, interested women will mirror this. Strip away pointless pleasantries like "good morning" which mean nothing until she's actually invested in you.

My man bcool dropped some absolute bangers for tips above, glad you read it and agreed. I think it's worth you bookmarking his comment and coming back to look at it occasionally, using it to refer to your convos and see if you are improving.
Your next challenge, as you graduate from inane, boring interview convos, will be how to seamlessly flow the convo into new areas. This will simply take practice, there is no way around it. But dont worry - every failure is a nee lesson learned!

Why are you texting so much?? Get her laughing, set the date and get off the phone!
Women get literally HUNDREDS of these boring “Nice to meet you, I’m so and so, I like chicken and music, do you like chicken and music because I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like either chicken or music.”
Good god man, I may shoot myself in the head over that drivel I just read. Go watch some Playing With Fire videos on youtube

This sounds like an afterschool special😂😂😂😂😂😂
Seriously, this texting culture is wild mango.
"Text her this text her that" I loose interest pretty fast so I like to meetup instantly.

You are talking to her like she's another boy. All logical and nerdy and over explaining yourself.
From what I see she had a prompt on her profile about travel. You should have asked about this.
"Hey, what's the most favorite place you have traveled to or want to get away to right now?"
If she says something like Italy or Venice, reply with "hell yeah that sound like an adventure. I just came back from Mexico and you can't believe the pristine sand and beaches they have there".
Just talk aspirationally, infuse emotion into your words. About flirting, it's all about misinterpreting what she says as her hitting on you or asking you out.
So if she's a bit boring and says "Oh, I'm not traveling further than my couch these days. I just like to sit and watch the Boys", tell her "Wow, is that an invitation to Netflix and chill? Honestly we don't know each other that well, so I'd prefer us grabbing a drink before we get there."
Get it?

So here are a few tips.
Stop double and triple texting and sending a bunch of paragraphs. I don't understand the purpose of all of this. If she is on a dating app and you are on a dating app, the purpose is to find out if you are compatible and get along so you can have a sexual relationship. The purpose is not to talk about video games.
So stop texting her and just say: "I would like to get to know you better in person. Let's go out this Thursday. How is 7pm at XYZ cocktail bar?"

In my experience across hundred of matches women don’t take well to being asked out within a few messages no matter how witty you are,unless it’s a Friday night most will unmatch or never reply because they get the sense that you’re extremely thirsty or just spamming messages to every girl you can, there’s seem to be a sweet spot between about 10-15 messages, if you’ve had rapport
But also it has to match your character offline too, if you’re not someone who tries to make everything that comes out of your mouth flirty like you’re in a teen romance film, and you actually like talking about things in some depth and take things more slowly than might as well find a girl who’s receptive to that

I don't do online dating but I was chatting to a female friend of mine who does it and she gets bored by guys who can't ask her out within a few exchanges. She assumes they are afraid of their own shadow and a bunch of excusers and she loses interest in them. Plus, OP literally exchanged paragraphs with her over the course of days. I think that's not only enough but entirely too much.

It sounds like you're just trying to be friends with her. Texting should really just be a way of setting up a date. I stole this line from Playing with Fire but I often like to open with "So I guess we're dating now". This comes across as a fun and flirty joke but can also be read as a cocky way of assuming we are already dating. They usually respond with something like "I guess so ;)". Then, I ask about their interest but I tie it back to us. So if I see she's a gamer I'd ask her if she's ever played insert local multiplayer game here. Whether she likes the game or hasn't played it before, I'll tell her "Now I know what to do for our date." Confidently assuming that we are going on a date instead of asking her to avoid sounding needy. Now you have a perfect excuse to bring her back to your place, to play a game together, so she won't feel like a slut. She might not feel comfortable with going directly to your place right away so you can figure out somewhere to meet publicly beforehand. Probably get some drinks and then get to know her more in person.

It feels like you are making interview for some poll. If you like to ask questions, they need to be more personal, interesting and triggering emotions. Also, you need to set your mind for naturally leading to your sexual interest.
[–]CompetitionFair7686 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Too many questions, you are not really having a conversation. You are only interrogating her. A conversation needs to be personal, it needs to have statements, observations, opinions, anecdotes, assumptions, playful accusations, teasing, telling personal stories, expressing how you feel about things, explaining why you do the things you do with your life, or what goals and dreams you have and how are you planning to achieve them,…
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You always want to come from a natural place of what feels right in the moment, that way you’re being authentic. Connecting to your feelings can help guide you. For me when I’m feeling confident it’s so much easier to just know what to say.
Like everyone else said, be playful, tease etc.
I recommend next time guiding the conversation in a different direction, that will instantly make it more exciting. If you look at the tone of the conversation it mostly stays on the friendly level around games/movies. You can get creative with bringing it somewhere else.
Just have fun and try to find a balance. Be aware too if you’re always “trying” to get a response out of her or make her like you. Just let it happen. Maybe pullback a little when she shows interest. It’s a push and pull dynamic. You don’t wanna just be push push push 😳 if that makes sense
Good luck mate

Too many questions
[–]PaidRenegade 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Skip the small talk with girls you haven’t met yet. Try and keep it to logistics only (and be a little flirty)
[–]VisionsOfVisions 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You have to change your view of conversations: it isn’t to get to know someone, it is to make the person feel something. Seduction is 1% reason 99% emotion and the more you self evaluate how much emotions your interactions generate, the more successful at seduction you will be.

Here's the approach with gamer girls:
Helps a lot if you're really good at the game and can carry her.
[–]MrBlack__ 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Jesus, this is the most cringe text ever, I understand why women are shocked when you finally admit to her you like her… and are focused that guys like you want to fuck her. You should like an overly friend college professor talking to a student about a module on the curriculum..
AFTER 2 replies WHATEVER the conversation is about, ask the girl out, jeeeez
[–]Romantic_Adventurer 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hey, good question!
A good conversation depends on 2 people wanting to chat. If the person you are chatting with is not engagin, just open more sets, meet more people, participate in new groupes with interests that suit you!
I reccomend anything Dr David Snyder talks about (youtube)

So I've got a few questions... is this person local where you could eventually potentially meet or just virtual where you are trying to make friends and possibly a connection?
I ask because I'm wondering if the context, from her perspective, is if this is just online friends chatting or if the "online venue" is set up for meeting romantic partners. Because if she will never meet you, she probably is not going to really consider actual flirting. She would likely just be nice and fun.
But, to make your text less boring, use the game to lead into related questions about her. Does she run into danger a lot in the game? Point that out and ask her if she is like that in real life too. Look for personality traits and ask about those. Then share some about yourself too so there is the conversational back and forth that feels balanced.
Let me know about my above question and if you can meet IRL. :)

Honestly your not moving things forward or in a sexual context or anything at all ... shes going to see you just another dude. you need to change her reality and make it a fun experience even if she is shy she wants someone who can get her out of her shell.
Even shy girls love sex and since she is a game I'm sure a ton of guys want to fuck her.
I would ask her for a short date and if you get along you can take her on the adventure of a lifetime maybe magic mountain, mini golf, or tons of other things (just not the movies)

You shouldn't say "sorry late reply because [reason]" or stuff like that. Just continue talking. Take some improv classes, it will help you become more casual in what to say.
