convo
So I met this girl at my school and she just started (rock) climbing. I used to do it competitively a few years ago but still go on and off. I related to her through that and she said she was going on Friday at 5 but I had a meeting so I told her I would text her when I got out. And then on Saturday I invited her to go climbing and she hasn't replied since.
Me: Hey, this is A. I just met you today lol
Girl - 1 hr 3 mins later: Hello :)
Me - 1 min later: How's it going? Was wondering if you were still clImbing
Girl: I'm going to the pub for a little with some of my sisters and if I'm coherent enough after I'll probably go lol
Me - 1 min later: Ha ok. So you haven't gone yet?
Girl: Noup :)
Me - 1 min later: Gooood I was looking forward to it lol
Girl: You're going climbing today?
Me: if I can find someone to climb with!
Girl: You met her!
Me - 1 min later: Did I? I guess I'll find out soon enough :P
Me - 22 hrs 33 mins later: Hey, let's go clImbing tomorrow??
Have you read Manwhore's Article on Texting? I def think you should read it if you haven't already. Pay particular attention to 2, 3, 5, 8, 15, 17 and 18.
After reading that article, take a look at your own convo and see what pops up
No I have not. I wish I would have seen that before I started haha. Thanks for the info.

You had no edge whatsoever with her it was a bit unattractive and definitely needy. You want to revamp your entire frame when meeting up with girls
Any ideas on how I should follow up from here theN?
You really fucked it up but we can give it a shot.
Give me some details since. How long ago was this? Did you actually end up going rock climbing? Do you and her have classes together? What do you know about this seabiscuit.
Lol. I kind of randomly met her last Friday. I know she knows a friend of mine so I openned up with that. I text her that same day and then text her again on Saturday to meet up for Sunday but she never responded. I haven't seen her since I met her.
Last Friday meaning the 14th?
Nope, the 21.
That would be this Friday. Ok and I'm assuming you didn't go rock climbing? I'm trying to craft a reengagement text for you and you're not giving me the help I need to do that.
Right. We didn't go rock climbing and it was this friday. I'm trying! Thanks for the help btw.
More info ola; what did you talk about, joke about, what do you like about her, what do you have in common? Any info would be good homes
We didn't speak for too long about 15 minutes. Mainly about rock climbing since I used to compete and she's just starting out. I probably should've asked her more questions in person :/ I honestly know nothing about her lol.
I'd say go with something random from your day tomorrow. Something funny, odd or otherwise notable. Once I texted a girl "Walmart greeters never greet me, what is wrong with me?" It got such a funny random response I used it again a few times and seems to lead to really funny convos. I'm not great at texting, I'd say just go for whatever and don't be afraid to fuck it up. You gotta start somewhere
Tell her you have to change a lightbulb but you need a belayer because your ladder only has three legs lol
That's pretty funny I might try it lol. Also, what did MW mean by not having an edge?
An edge means not trying to play it safe. Risk being dangerous, fucking it up, or even offending her a bit. It's the barrier that must be broken through in order to shift from friendly conversation to man-to-woman sexual polarity
It's a sticking point for me sometimes too
That's pretty funny I might try it lol. Also, what did MW mean by not having an edge?
He means she doesnt perceive you as a a guy who could fuck her. You come across like every other guy trying to be nice and saying the right things. You dont appear to be a risk taker or someone who doesnt give a shit.
Hey, let's go clImbing tomorrow??
the opposite of this^
So at this point you want to craft something that's NOT a question, but is clever or funny or just slightly insulting enough to compel her to respond. Add points for ridiculousness.
Something like, "they decided to put alligators at the bottom of the rock climbing machine. Guess they don't want anymore newbies. A shame"
Ah so right, I look like a bitch lol.
Don't worry about it "value" is stop 'n go. You're well within recovery lol. If you allow your brain/mind to get bogged down with stuff like that so easily than that's when you achieve loser status. Control your emotions to keep yourself unstifled and then your pimp juices will flow.
"My dog ate my climbing shoes so I just watched harry potter all day...how was yer day?"
What happened here? Did you send her a reengagement text?
I haven't sent one yet was gonna wait a couple of days.
When I spoke to her she said she was having trouble with an orange route that was rated a 5,9 difficulty. Could I reengage with something like: "I passed by the gym over the weekend. Apparently they're starting to ban people that can't do orange 5,9s."
No dude. MW gave it to you already you just needed to adapt it
They put alligators at the bottom of the orange route. I guess they don't want anymore newbies. Shame

your ur texts have no edge to them whatsoever. It's pure friend to friend right now.
If you were gonna send that last text then right after send "They told me to notify you that you're not allowed anymore. Shame."
see?
