Texting a time waster

By | August 7, 2020

Some two or three weeks ago, I got a number from a girl that was wearing a dark green overalls. Something like this:

Off the open, I teased her for wearing such a military looking outfit.1 She played along with the tease well enough. I stacked for a bit before grounding. I went back to teasing throughout, and I felt the comfort went well, though there wasn’t any escalation (verbal or physical). When I went for the the number, she paused for a couple of seconds before I interrupted the gears churning in her hamster mind and said “I tell you what, I’ll send you a message and we’ll figure it out”, or something to that affect. She obliged. The following texting ensued.

Nearly 36 hours to respond to the feeler. Not a good sign. I continued off the tease, building momentum for the date request.
Quick response, but she’s pushing back to my energy. Looks like she’s trying to be funny with the date request; I take it and move on to logistics. I like the “sir”. She goes silent after I return my banter. Three days later I send a revival ping.
Still pushing back against the frame. In retrospect, she wanted to see me dance. She liked my banter, but not me. I go into a second date request.
At the end of this message, she *ignores* the date request. Straight up ignores that shit! This is *the clearest* signal she’s a time waster. But I don’t want to believe it. Instead, I reach out to King and ask for advice. He tells me to lay down the law, bruh.
So I lay the pipe law. At this point, Mr. V says “listen, she’s wasting your time. She’s not interested. She saw you’re ready to withdraw attention so she’s saying ‘no, no, I’ll date you. Give me attention for another week!'”
I didn’t want to believe it. I decided to take a couple of days to think about it, as I was going to roll off anyways. Ultimately, I concluded that yes, she was a time waster. And that I didn’t see it before due to ego. Ego is the #1 enemy of learning (day)game and it’s something that you need to constantly battle. It’s not a one-off that you defeat; it’s something that repeatedly rears it’s ugly, smug little head.
Here’s the running score: Breeze 48, Ego 19,428
  1. Austic daygamers, such as myself, need to recall that the tease isn’t meant to be logically correct. We’re flirting, not writing a critical analysis on her outfit.

    I LOVE call back humor but I think you beat that army joke into the ground with 5 texts in a row. I’d cap it at 2, then rest it, then feel free to bring it back.

    This is a minor critique. Everything else is good.

    You didn’t read Tom Torero’s book on texting?!

    No banter, just tease, less words then her, longer vacuums then her.

    But a Time Waster is a Time Waster…gotta do sexual tension at the start of the set to screen T.W out.
