Texting Diary - A Quest for Dating Success (in 140 characters or less) + ANALYSIS

Cool just remember to take it as far in person as you can. That's one of the main keys to successful text game. You're from Aussieland, aren't you?

Nah mate, I live up in Cali!

Ok, here we go. Flew to Miami just this past weekend and went hard in the clubs. Had a blast, worked out at the shitty Casablanca gym and ran down Collins Ave shirtless lol. 

Girl #1: Walked up to her in the corner of the club. Very flirtatious frame (she lives in Vegas and was vague about her occupation. I suspect she's a stripper)

Girl -   Good to meet you! Have fun tonight

(Unusual that a girl texts me first. This must be an indicator that the set was really solid)

Me - 1 hour 40 mins later:  Of course. Catch you in Vegas

(Was gonna text something more funny & elaborate, but realized this girl is already cooked. Sending something like that would appear try hard)

Me - 12 hours 13 mins later:  Tequila 4. Mark 0. I'd kill a small child for a Tylenol

Girl -  22 mins later: Hahah went too hard. It's good we left when we did, we've been up since like 10 AM

Me - 5 mins later:  Hella early lol whats your plan today

(I wanted to get our out that day since i was flying back at night. Maybe I should just tell her what i'm up to and send an invite next time)

Girl -  1 hour 55 mins later: Just bored the ship!

Me - 1 hour 40 mins later:  Cruise ship? That's tight

Me - 14 hours later:  My new bed looks so cozy! *pic of makeshift airport bench*

(I was actually laughing as i sent this. the whole airport situation I was stuck in was pretty hilarious and this was the cherry on top. I should send more texts that i genuinely find funny)

Girl - 44 hours 11 mins later:  Haha sure does. I just arrived back from my cruise

Me - 1 hour 37 mins later:  Haha nice. I could use another vacation but it's back to making cheddarrr :d

(I could've accused her of being kidnapped and converted by pirates or something. I think I'll follow up with this)

Overall, I thought this exchange was a little too logical. I'm trying to make the shift away from logical conversation to a more playful one. I guess it'll come with experience

Yes, but where's the logistics? You never tried to meet up or arrange something 

Haha yeah, I should've been more direct. I asked her what she was doing since i was gonna lead that toward a meetup. Next time i should straight up invite them out

Alrighty hoes, round two! Everything was going butter in this one but I think I got too cocky toward the end n shanked the meetup lol

(Picks up mid convo. )

Girl: I don't judge lol. What made you want to come and talk to me

Me: 1 hour 17 mins later You looked cute n interesting 

Girl: 2 mins later Aww lol

Girl: 1 mins later Do you use snapchat?

Me: 5 mins later Naw 

Me: 2 mins later But I'm coming to Cali soon we should kick it :) 

Girl: 24 mins later Yea I'm down

Me: 7 mins later When you free this week? 

Girl: 2 mins later Thursday

Me: 3 mins later We'll roast marshmallows over my hearth 

Me: 1 mins later Maybe watch Twilight too 

Girl: 2 mins later Haha sounds like a plan

Me: 12 mins later Lol 7 work for you? 

Me: 1 mins later I'm in East Sac btw 

Girl: 2 mins later We can like officially plan it on Wednesday

Me: 3 mins later Sounds good

Girl: 5 mins later Have a safe flight 

Me: 3 mins later :)

Me: 23 hours 12 mins later What's up?... Just loaded up on Ant raid from Safeway to welcome my new guests lol

Me: 1 mins later Call me Rambo

Girl: 17 mins later Haha just got off work 

Me: 20 mins later Kewl

Me: 1 mins later How exciting lmao... btw I can't hang out too late Wednesday

Me: 1 mins later So no hanky pank! :o

Girl: 4 mins later Don't worry I got a curfew...I'll be out by 8:30 latest ;)

Me: 3 mins later KK i'll text you my address tmrw

Me: 23 hours 1 mins later Yo

Me: 1 mins later My house be at *address*

Me: 1 mins later No background checks plz

Girl: 7 mins later I thought we were hanging out thursday?

Me: 2 mins later No duh

Me: 1 mins later <3

Me: 1 mins later Can you dress sexy

Me: 1 mins later So we match... Obviously

Me: 38 hours 13 mins later *Ahem*

Girl: 57 mins later Sorry can't hang out anymore

Me: 3 mins later Me neither. I've decided to give up women for a life of chastity

Overall i thought this went great. Every text i was sending was on my own terms and self amused. i was genuinely laughing when i sent most of these. The problem may be a lack of comfort or maybe pre-mature escalation towards the end. 

Any ideas?

Btw, any update on the Mangwhore Text Displayer? It's literally hurting to type these out by hand lol

I'm working on the text displayer app but I feel I hit a wall with it. I've got all the necessary files but can't seem to package it into an apk file to be unzipped by Android phones. So weird

As far as your texting's concerned it's pretty clear what happened here.. you didn't handle things correctly/smoothly enough at the end and it sorta weirded her out.

You tell me what you think it was that did it. It's pretty closely packed together, two or more texts did the "job" lol. 

Well, I blew over logistics and didn't properly handle her concern I guess. Also, didn't realize how many texts I was sending in a row geezus

Sending a few texts in a row isn't a problem. Yes you blew over logistics but how exactly did you do it? 

I didnt give her room to respond when she said hangout thursday. she obviously felt overwhelmed at this point when i continued to escalate the conversation on top of this..

It started before that. Where'd the switch from Wed to Thurs come in? 

Eh, should've finalized the plans then and there instead of leaving it in the open til Wed

Wheeeew! Been slacking on this text game for a month. I've been a little wrapped in building an online business (check it out - www.threadsforgents.com)

Anyway! Backstory on this chick: seen her at a local bar a few times. She used to think (and prolly still does) that I'm a MAJOR asshole since she sees me game other girls in front of her.

So I show up to this fashion event to promote my menswear startup and she happens to be there to rep her company's magazine 

Girl: You're stalking me.

Me - 18 mins later: I was there to meet fashion bloggers but sure :)

(Couldn't agreed and exaggerated. But no need to fall in her frame)

Girl - 4 mins later: Successful?

Me - 1 min later: Naw, just a bunch of conceited panelists

Girl - 2 mins later: Lmao exactly what Lauren and I said.

Me - 20 mins later: Haha I couldn't understand that salon lady

(I was genuinely connecting with her at this point. 

Girl - 16 mins later: Haha geez, I don't even know where to start with her ��

Me - 1 hr 7 mins later: You shoulda had the spotlight

Me: Your hair was on point ;)

(This was prolly a gay text in restrospect. Her hair looked really sexy that night, but It felt incongruent with our convo saying this. she obv hasn't responded)

Can't really think of a way to move towards a meetup at the moment, but I'm sure I'll come up with something

Goal for next time: Post a convo with a new girl and try to ask her on a date

So she didn't respond to those last two texts? FYL dude how could you be on such a pedestal and not ride that momentum/leverage it for compliance. 

Cuz I'm a newb :p Hmm...lol not sure what texts made it seem like I was on a pedestal?

and ya she never hit me back. I found out this chick might still be seeing her ex, so she may be attracted but that may be a mental block for her in terms of compliance

Romped it up in Vegas this past weekend. Had a chick literally yank me out of the club and closed me. She was just horny and using me for my body ;d. Further reinforced my belief that this shit is all a numbers game in the end

Anyway...saw this Texas hottie about to get into a cab at MGM and there was no way I was letting her leave without saying hai

Me: Mark

Me: almost got hit by a cab for you :d

Texas Hottie - 37 mins later: Where's the after party?

Texas Hottie - 10 mins later: ??

Texas Hottie: And I didn't ask you to get hit by a cab lol

Me - 40 mins later: Cosmo

Me: Sorry just got this

Me: How soon can you be here love

Texas Hottie - 1 min later:  We just got at this other place

Texas Hottie: Not sure how late is Cosmo going on and where is that?

Texas Hottie: Like location wise.. In a certain hotel or what

Me - 12 mins later: Cosmopolitan

Me: It's a casino

Me: Only the best duh :p

Me - 11 mins later: Oh.. Lol its right next to Bellagio

Texas Hottie - 1 hr 40 mins later: What was up? Sorry I couldn't hear you

Texas Hottie - 4 mins later: ??

Me: Where are you

Texas Hottie: Drais beach club

Me: Come to Cosmopolitan

Texas Hottie: How late is it open

Me: Drai's for homos lol

Me: 6

Texas Hottie: Apparently

Texas Hottie: K I'll see what I can do

Me - 20 mins later: Lol we came here

Texas Hottie: Whats there?? I was told there was nothing there

Me: Come down n say hi :d

Texas Hottie: Lol

Texas Hottie - 1 min later: I was told there's nothing there

Me - 1 min later: Falsehood

Me - 1 min later: I'm all you need :)

Texas Hottie - 1 hr 8 mins later: No. But really.. If my friend and I pay for a taxi.. I don't want to show up to something that is closed

Texas Hottie: Is Cosmo a club that is still going on?

Me - 1 min later: It's a casino lol just won 100$ on roulette

Texas Hottie: I thought you said Cosmo was an after party lol

Me - 2 mins later: I'm at our afterparty

Me: Just come kick it if you want.. There's a sick view also.

Me: If not, it's back to your boring Lone Star life :d

Texas Hottie - 33 mins later: Hey don't make fun

Texas Hottie: And in stuck taking care of my friend now

Texas Hottie: At drais after hours

Texas Hottie: My other friend who was going to go to Cosmo with me left

Me - 7 mins later: Haha I was kidding beb

Me - 1 min later: Actually wanted to see you lol you seemed pretty chill

Me: And I'm shy :x

Texas Hottie - 2 mins later: Ohh

Texas Hottie: I'm sorry is rather be hanging out

Me - 8 hrs 22 mins later: Lol

Me - 1 hr 38 mins later: What's your full name? I'm gonna stalk you on Facebook

No response...obv.

Overall, I think I was a bit too pushy and simply didnt capitalize on momentum. I was also leaving the next night. Another mistake was that I got her number under the pretense that I was going to an afterparty and inviting her (thus hiding my intent to cockify her little vag)...this may have led to incongruence over text

One of my main sticking points might be just letting shit fizzle out. But thats not a game mistake, thats just being fucking lazy. Idk maybe you guys can tell me what you think of this

This one was just embarrassing...

Was quite reactive (in retrospect). In the future, I should be sending texts that make me laugh in stead of trying to provoke a reaction

Me: *Texts my name*

Girl - 11 mins later: Hi Mark

Me - 5 mins later: You getting rowdy at Sophias yet? :P

Girl - 21 mins later: Haha you wish

Me - 20 mins later: Lol help me down this pitcher of Mojito

Girl - 10 hrs 5 mins later: Same here

Girl - 1 hr 42 mins later: O man, believe me when I say that I am nicer than my intoxicated self ^^

Me - 2 hrs 5 mins later: Haha now I'm curious about your intoxicated self

Me - 1 min later: Maybe we'll have to find out over drinks :d

Me - 1 week 1 day later: Tequila 4 Mark 0. I'd kill a small child for a Tylenol

Girl - 58 mins later: Just rubbing it in huh? The weekend before finals and I'm hatin

Me - 18 mins later: Consider it motivation :p

Me - 19 mins later: Btw econ is multiple choice just circle C. No study required

Girl - 3 mins later: You circle c I'm not taking econ advice from a compsci student haha

Girl - 3 mins later: There is no curve in econ ;)

Me - 6 mins later: C's earn degrees ;)

Girl - 15 mins later: Seas temp increasing by one degree

Me - 38 mins later: No entiendo

Girl - 2 mins later: There's this thing right now, it's all the rage, ever heard of global climate change

Me - 4 mins later: Yea you can thank your female population and their hairspray :d

Me - 3 days 3 hrs later: Random, but how adventurous are you on a scale of 1-678?

Girl - 3 mins later: Hmm not familiar with this scale can you give me an example of both extremes?

Girl - 12 mins later: Wtf is she even conscious, I don't understand this picture what are you getting at?

Me - 6 mins later: (Sends epic Dan Bilzerian helicopter pic) Let's go on an adventure!

Me - 1 day 1 hr later: Tonight: celebrating a glorious end to finals @Bistro. Woooot! come thru if you're in a good mood :)

Me - 5 days 21 hrs later: Just drifting out of contact feels unsatisfying - I want a brutal dumping text or a catch up coffee next week.

Girl - 18 mins later: (1/2) I think you're too forward and the conversation after your helicopter text was disturbing. I don't know you. You're literally a stranger so if you thought

Girl: (2/2) it was funny i don't know why.

Me - 6 mins later: Haha my badd. I don't take life seriously at times

Girl - 10 mins later: Despite that, do you understand why a female would take offense to that photo?

Me - 1 min later: Cuz her boots don't match ?

Overall, I just learn to take a step back and be like water as Julien says. This type of girl was probably more sensitive and more sheltered than average growing up.

Wouldve probably been better to text like a chode but still go for a meetup instead of pushing her buttons a lil' much. O C'est la vie
