I hate to say it, but I think you’re the tease here. She was giving you the opportunities but you didn’t take them and that’s ok you’re learning. Remember women are also horny and they want dick… never ask if sex is going to happen and don’t be afraid to make moves.

I think the staying up til 7am caressing you was the huge green light not the having to go to hers.
Does seem like you’re the one denying her, if I were looking at it from her perspective. She came over, initiates touch, etc. I don’t know if you’ve totally missed the opportunity but next time you’re with here I’d get out of your head and make that move because idk if there’s another chance after that.

Did you just friend zoned yourself?
[–]Aureayte 118 points119 points120 points 4 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
You didnt smash after she literally gave you multiple opportunities and then called her a tease.
On top of that “asked how shed have reacted if i made a move that night” way to call out the elephant in the room without knowing why. You literally didnt make a single move after all those hints
And then she still gives you another chance and you literally call her a tease once more.
Bro?

Yea dude fked up, he should of went for it…. Signs was all there
[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I made a similar mistakes. But I was more of a overly gentleman back then that totally missed on hints. If they don’t initiate directly, clearly... I don’t.
But all those damn signs. Those weren’t just signs, those were passes. Dude fucked up.
That wasn’t a confidence test, she was overlooking the stupidity to give you a piece. Sometimes dudes put their foot in their mouths and females will let it go for the objective.
Or they’ll fuck with those dudes.

Bro looking back on high school and college perfectly describes how I was too, girls could be in my bed touching me and I’d question if they were into it, god I was a daft cunt.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Omg I feel this so much. Even had a father of one girl that knew I was like that and that his daughter liked me... that he actually left us alone.
And he was right. I’m so pissed at myself right now 😂.
If she’s still texting, it’s not over over, but my god man she’s practically begging for it.
[–]RPslimjim 17 points18 points19 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
You asked her about making a move but you didn’t make a move? She’s losing interest dude. You may have lost your chance.
[–]knightgod1177 12 points13 points14 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
May have? Dude nuked his chance.

You're all talk and no action. I suspect that deep down you kind of know this. Others made some good points about your passivity the night of, but there's incongruity that oozes through every part of the field report, start to finish. You clearly have a fear of escalation that you're projecting onto her by calling her a tease, or by trying to get her to assume all responsibility for the interaction, or even by titling this post what you have. That way if things go bad you can always just put the blame on her, like when you were trying to win some weird 2 hr frame battle about her inviting you to her place, when all that was required was STFUing, hopping in your car and going over to make good on all your bluster. That might've been your last chance there. She's been more than patient lol. Being incongruent is one of the most unattractive things you can be.
So what's the solve? Dealing with your fear of escalation, rejection, and probably even success. I've been there, too. And I doubt I'm the only one. But now it's time to cut the BS.

I don't know exactly where she lives, so I don't think it was that simple.
You could've ya know, asked lol
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
If people weren't doing that, how have booty calls been happening since time immemorial, or at least since Edison lol. Ideally you'd do it smoothly and as a series of steps, rather than one big 0-100 step. My sense is that there are deeper problems here. Taking women too seriously/literally. Being too serious/literal yourself. And with your text game. You need to learn how to banter, communicate covertly, and then pull the trigger in a confident and chill way. This should be FUN and a win/win homie, not some weird incongruent frame battle that you "win" and she "loses." Your mindset is just totally off there.
For instance: She did suggest that if I didn't "sleep as well as I do", she'd invite me over to her place.
Me: Hmm tempting.... do you snore though"
Then you banter on that for a bit from the frame that she's "convincing" you to roll thru. Then ya, you ask for logistics and get your butt over there. But feel free to PM and I'll show you how I tend to text.

Dude you actually didn’t call off work and go bang her after a fuckin all-nighter out?!?!
You made your own problem here man!
I don’t know if you can recover from this. I hope for your sake you can but you better step your shit up.
[–]willgo-waggins 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ok fair enough I get it and kudos to you for resisting and being responsible!
But man you gotta get that and then take back control of the situation if you don’t want to be playing that pull/push game forever.
Either that or just kick her ass to the curb and find something easier to deal with.
[–]cyrusol 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Ugh, you call off work just to have sex with someone?
Sheesh. Could need a bit of a sigma male grindset.
[–]willgo-waggins 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Well it depends today on the someone. I’m not that young anymore.
When I was though, hell yes!
[–]MikeAlphaGolf 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If you’ve got a girl alone in your room then there’s a very high chance of banging. Your job is to make it smooth and minimise the awkwardness. Oh it just happened.. that’s the vibe you’re going for. If she says no she says no, you put the cue in the rack and move on with the night.
Texting ad nauseam after a failed date is always a bad idea. You can’t build attraction over text. You can kill it.
Give her a bit of breathing room now. Don’t be the first one to hit her back. She knows you like her or you wouldn’t be acting so awkward. Give her a chance to contact you first.
[–][deleted] 18 points19 points20 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Sorry man, but she saw you chicken out and lost a lot of her attraction to you. Girls date a lot more and are more intuitive at this sort of things, she will judge you based on how confident you are and how physical you are with her. I lost a girl like this once too, a 10/10 for being a pussy, so i know how it feels. After a few years i was a dumbass again, she gave me another shot and i ruined it.
The only way i feel this would work if she gives you another chance, or by luck run into her again, and you make a move fast and bold and full of yourself. Like talking a bit, flirting a bit, and kissing her asap, and even if she is surprised and pulls away a bit you can say something like "sorry, i was a dumbass last time, not gonna let a girl like you slip away " ( after you kiss her, if you can manage that )
[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
fr man same here lost a 10/10 girl cuz I chickened out. She started playing games like making excuses on why she can't go on dates. I asked her twice, I realized it that she lost her interest. ended it a day later.
it is what it is, shit happens but I like your advice to him. I'm thinking that might work
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
i don't think she was intrigued, you didn't reject her, u didn't have the balls to do it and then used "just told her she was a bit of a tease and asked how she'd have reacted if I made a move that night" this line for validation and approval. Embrace your mistakes and learn from them, and for the love of god kiss her
[–]Foxrex 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
An actual Nice Guy. Lol
[–]RobertChardonnay 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If you want her, go after her.
[–][deleted] 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Only ask her once maybe twice for a date if she doesn't wanna go just stop initiating contact
[–]knightgod1177 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Jesus man, you really gotta ask what the play should’ve been?? You literally answer it yourself in your own post. Losing track of time is a lame ass excuse and you know it. You had the best possible opportunity and blew it royally.
She wasn’t playing hard to get at all. It was you who started playing stupid ass games like you’re trying to be the female in the relationship. All you had to do was make a move. Idk, maybe when she caressed your chest, or held her hand to the back of your neck?? Like for fucks sake, you had it on ez mode and still found a way to fuck it up. I doubt very much she’d want to date someone with the sensibilities of a rock, who can’t get a clue even if it hit him right in the chest, and plays stupid games with her for hours on end instead of making a move.

The clock is ticking...
[–]FalconVita 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nigga you played yourself
She lost interest because you didn’t even go for the kiss. Don’t feel bad about yourself — it’s a learning experience, but it’s better to go for it and get rejected than to wake up the next day feeling regretful.
[–]vcuriousbetty 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The only way you can get back from this is give her space and wait till she comes around.
[–]BetaCuckSimp -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Mixed signals are the message. Move on.
[–]cyrusol 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
I figured I had enough and told her she was definitely a good tease but that I just couldn't play any more games for the rest of the day considering I had work tomorrow. This seemed like some sort of test as well, I guess seeing if I was just faking my confidence or how I'd deal with her pulling back.
Sometimes I think "losing a shit test" - if it was one - is the right move. You have a life, you have responsibilities, your time is valuable. If she doesn't want to be considerate of that then fucking next her. Can't have someone in your life who is just a drag. No matter how hot she is.
I really don't understand why the other people ITT react the way they do.
If anything I would now let her approach you and not chase her. Her loss. I'm certain you could get someone else.
[–]brabus4 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You definitely could have played it better. First mistake is not going for the kiss. Second in the chat. Bro she says she is busy, ask her when she's free. If she says she isn't free tell her to let you know when she is.
[–]Legal_Development 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
You had enough game to talk her into your bedroom or wherever you both went, then you had to fuck it up by not escalating? Lmao! In what world will a girl follow you to a room, caress your chest and hold your neck passionately without no intentions in minds. It's clear she wanted to get fucked but you're to slow to realize. You've blown your chances my guy onto the next one.
[–]GreatScotRace 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Ok so a girl was into you and you didn’t make a move nor give her zero indication you were into her romantically / sexually and now you’re accusing her of playing hard to get? You’re the hard to get one playing games, tf
[–][deleted] 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
[–]GreatScotRace 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
“Gave her plenty of indication but didn’t make a move” - so you agree, you were playing games.
[–]Woujo 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
However, I decided to just be direct (since I had missed my best shot to make a move) and just told her she was a bit of a tease and asked how she'd have reacted if I made a move that night
This is the worst thing you could have said. You should never make a woman verbalize her sexual feelings. It's embarrassing for them.
And I just said "invite me then".
Another bad move. You need to invite yourself.
We went back and forth with a lot of push-pull and she really played hard to get, but at a certain point (a good 2 hours into this conversation), I figured I had enough and told her she was definitely a good tease but that I just couldn't play any more games for the rest of the day considering I had work tomorrow.
She wasn't "playing hard to get." You were being needy and aggressive and she got freaked out. And sounds like you were a douche on top of that.
What you need to do is stop being needy and stop trying to "talk everything about." Women are emotional creatures; you don't negotiate sex with them. You just let things happen and you don't push her when she's not feeling it. You should be the challenge and make her chase you, not vice versa.
