People reply when they want to, not when they have time.
People have other things to do, not just sit around every day texting.
Even if people have free time, it doesn’t mean they want to text during that free time and if they want to text it doesn’t mean that you are their priority when it comes to texting.
Being interested or not isn’t measured by how much someone texts, your expectations of how much a person should text if she is interested is just your own subjective opinion and not a rule that others have to follow or even be aware of.
What you consider to be a long time without texting can be a reasonable time for others to text.
Asking if someone wants to go out sometime isn’t a definite plan, it’s more like a “we should do something one day in the future” which isn’t really a commitment to anything specific or definite.
Attraction and true connection happens in person not over texts
Don’t put all your eggs on the same basket, meaning talk to 10 more girls at the same time to diversify your emotional investment to avoid being needy with one and increase your chances of success

You’re right, and haven’t got an abundance besides one other girl so can’t really text 10+ girls right now. I’ll get there someday though.

She said she'd love to... That's not bad. Kind of awkward asking her for a date so far in advance when it's not practical since you're far away at the moment. But you got a yes from her on that, so nice going nonetheless.
When you get back to college, nail down to date and time. If she shows up, then she was interested. If she doesn't, then she wasn't.
That's really the only way to tell.
Personally, if you haven't been on a date with a girl yet, don't worry about any games with taking a long time to respond. It's best to cut through the noise and get a date and time nailed it down as soon as practical.

Yeah I thought it would be a little awkward typing it but I’ve always been someone that got straight to the point when it comes to trying to get girls just thought it was better since I wouldn’t end up wasting my time if you get what I mean and I plan to set something up as soon as I can but it will be a long break so hopefully there’s no interest lost since then.
Think I’m going to stop texting for a few days leave her on read and do my own thing and if she initiates then I’ll respond.

Would you like to go on a date sometime when college is back?
[–]hi_im_luke17 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I planed to take her out and she said she would love to but I probably won’t because I’m honestly thinking she’s not interested and I’m just going to take this as a loss and move on.

My point is that this is really weak sauce man. It's actually embarrassing. The reason you have trouble with women is because your behavior isn't the behavior of an alpha male. Do you think a real alpha male would write this shit that you did?
Start behaving like an alpha. Tell her, "I've been thinking about you and I like spending time with you so much. Let's go out this Friday night". If you beat around the bush like you did, you are only talking yourself out of sex.

Not going to lie you’re right, been a rough day so I was honestly just about to snap on this reply but after a reread I can’t deny you’re right.
Im not and don’t know how to be an alpha male. I didn’t start approaching especially cold until college so all this shit is new to me. I got her Snapchat not even a week ago and she was honestly the best looking girl I cold approached so I guess I developed a case of onenitis. This combined with long waiting replies that I thought had no sign of interest and a shit day just resulted in this post. got a month wait until I can take her out unless I’m willing to make a long drive and I’m really not interested in that.
But I’m sorry the post was bad I’m just new to this, I can talk to girls fine but everything else I just suck at but I’m trying to be alpha just takes time.

I agree with you sir
[–]Spidur7 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Why the thumbs down?
Mr Moogberg69 is right. Ask her out and be determined. Don't be her texting buddy, she has other people just for that. Texting is for setting up a date.
[–]mabden 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Any girl with a high interest level would do everything she can to make herself available.
Check out Doc Love's 'The System' to understand interest level and how to gauge it.
|I ask if she wants to go out on a date sometime
When you ask a chic for a date, have a specific date/time/event that you are going to and invite her along. Using "sometime" is nebulous and leaves the girl an easy out to turn you down without actually turning you down. Asking directly leaves her with a yes or no response. If it is no, but she counters with another date/time then she has some interest. If it is no without a counter offer, then you know she has no interest and you can throw her number away and not waste any more of your valuable time.

Why are you so focused on one woman?
Where's your abundance?
[–]hi_im_luke17 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
Don’t have an abundance :/

Nothing wrong with practice me just texting random girls for it though honestly sounds like a douche thing to do I’m not the type that does that just not my style.
But then again here I am asking Reddit for advice so what do I know.
[–]ProFriendZoner 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Change your mindset. Get out of the "have a relationship/marry" every woman you are interested in. Have fun. Don't make any promises. It's all about fun.
[–]ProFriendZoner 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's hard, but it's the only way. The "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket" cliche comes in handy here. And besides, you never know who may have the hots for you.
[–]LostFYI 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Stop taking response time as an argument for making up your own thoughts to what she might be thinking / feeling about you.
She said she'd love to. Take that for granted!
No need interpret anything further into her texting behaviour. She's made her ground clear, stay in slight contact and take her on a date when back in college (which is when?). Only then it will become clear, if you can develop attraction or the two of you vibe/sympathise with eachother
The fact that you guys snap/text eachother AND wants to go out with you should tell you that she's somewhat interested already. Just don't screw it up in the next step champ
Going to be back in college around January, didn’t have a thanksgiving break so they gave us a longer winter one.
It’s just confusing man, It just feels like I’m wasting my time with her just a gut feeling and I don’t really have a lot of those. But I also know it’s way to soon to even say that. Just gotta take it as it comes i guess, I’m just tired of having to initiate every conversation and just waiting I haven’t put all my attention on her but feels like I’m putting more in than her if you get what I mean.
Like for example, I asked her a question about something I believe like how she talked about how she liked her alone time and it honestly could have been a good conversation the way I worded it. Wait about hour she snaps back with just yeah and she sends a selfie of her dressed up nice and in her car at around 11 my only guess was she was going to a party but that’s not my business.
But I just feel like I’m forcing it if you get what I mean.

I am assuming you are the one who is chasing. Girls like to chase more than guys. It’s just you have to give her some space to do so. Be challenging to her. Walk away for a few days just see if she texts you first or tries to contact you. This will really help you understand if she is interested or not. Good luck!
[–]hi_im_luke17 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
This is good advice, I actually left her read a few hours ago because I really didn’t have anything to say and didn’t feel like keeping it going. I’m just going to wait until she hits me up.
[–]I_am_Jaguar 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yes, do what's right for you! Keep us updated!
[–]hi_im_luke17 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Will do if and if she text first awesome if not oh well. If she never does do you think I should still ask her on a date? because she said she would love to when we got back to college.
[–]I_am_Jaguar 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If she never does then it's no point in asking her on a date. If she really wants to hangout she will contact you. Meanwhile, you can talk to other girls and go on dates. Don't be hung up on one woman. You never know she is already going out with other guys.
[–]IGetBoredSometimes23 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If she says she wants to go out that's a good sign.
She might have other issues that affect her ability to text. Anything from poor cell phone service to a disability that makes it hard to read or answer texts could make getting back to you a problem.

Block her
[–]brabus4 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
If she says she would love to, ask her when she is free this/next week. If she says no just say okay let me know when you change ur mind.
[–]hi_im_luke17 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
She lives about 2 hours away I’m not going to schedule a date and drive that far.
[–]brabus4 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hey, if you can't commit to the 2 hour drive don't expect her to do the same. If that's a deal breaker for you either play your cards well enough so that she is the one to come to you, or just search for girls who live closer
[–]GreatScotRace 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
People reply when they want to reply to you. It’s not a reflection on how much they like them. Surely you’d want to have a proper conversation with someone that’s meaningful instead of quick not thought out messages because they’re busy? I don’t do half assed conversations. If I can’t be bothered talking to people I won’t bore you with my unenthusiastic chat.
[–]Snoo_96502 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is very subjective and I would caution against a blanket statement such as "people text when they have time." You are directly in contact with her and I would trust your gut over an internet strangers opinion of texting. When you do talk, does it seem like she's interested, such as flirting back? Or does it just seem like you're making an effort to talk to her to ask her about her day but you get short answers back? If it seems like you are the one always initiating and she's slow to respond I would put that in the category that she's not as interested and move on. If she truly is interested, I'd say she will initiate without you prompting her after you not messaging for a couple of days.
