waiting to text back vs. striking when the iron is hot
07-24-2014, 01:05 PM
So I got this lizards digits and we agreed to hang out one night. I hit her up that afternoon, and no response until around 8 that night when she says "ok im free". I see it right away but dont text back for half an hour. No response, we dont end up chilling. Then the next morning I wake up, she had texted me at 2:30am saying "come fuck me"...
Besides the possibility that this bitch is just crazy, it seems like by waiting I may have blew it. When setting up logistics, maybe its best to text back promptly to avoid distractions or whatever getting in her way...

In my experience..
"Striking while the iron is hot" has led to better results than "waiting to text back".
"Waiting" is highly overrated in my opinion.
Most guys don't know how and when to properly wait. It's generally not a technique for newbies, it's an advanced tactic.
If a girl wants to communicate with you and make plans to see you, I don't see much point in an extended "waiting" period.
There is an Emotional Window of Opportunity that girls give us. This is a period where they think they like us, they are turned on by us, and they want to hang out with us. If we don't take action during this "window", her feelings could change. Her hormones can change, her friends might be influencing her, other guys might be influencing her. The "window" can close.
I mean, maybe you don't text her back IMMEDIATELY, but, 15-30 minutes is usually enough.
When a girl is eager to communicate with us, I don't see much point in NOT communicating back.
"Waiting" is for advanced level guys and game veterans.
Newbies should error on the side of timely communication.
Game, is about winning the War, not every single little battle.
Sometimes, it's okay to let them have their way a little, it gives them as sense of comfort, as long as she ends up on your couch at the end of the night. That's all that matters.
Who waited longer to text back is irrelevant at that point.

I never take longer than 10 minutes to respond, unless I'm in class or asleep. But everyone knows I do that with everyone else, regardless of if the subject is studying together or meeting up, so they don't really have reason to think I'm overeager or something.

I agree with Gio for the most part. Get at them while they're hot. Bitches are so fickle.
I just had this happen on Saturday and Monday.
Saturday I probably could have fucked this chick that works in my building. We started talking/texting the day before. She basically told me in so many words that she'd been waiting for me to give her a shout... any I told her Saturday that we should go have a drink sometime (I think she was game for that actual night). I told her "sometime" because I had plans with one of my regulars that night. I should have just flaked on her..... anyway, now the broad from my building is on that bullshit. She barely returns my txt now.... I erased that bitches number today...hahahaha
Monday I did the total opposite. flaked on a regular I haven't seen in 2 weeks for a new broad that was "hot".... Got the bang. If I would have made plans for another day. She probably would have been in some other stupid mental state. or like Gio said "talked to her friends blah blah blah"

Yup huge pro tip for tinder users as well, get that number and get that date setup asap ! I've got a few matches but I'll be out of town. I never hit up matches till I have the next 2 days free.
