This probably has been posted before, but im having trouble finding it so let's cut to the chase anyway

I just got 2 numbers yesterday. Sent icebreakers ' Hey xyz, go10 here. Nice meeting you. :) ' on whatsapp

..or something quite similar

And one of them had seen'd the message and the other had read it I imagine since she was online later but hadn't seen (blue ticks)

Now i know we're supposed to send something like, quoting from an article '
Hey Charlene, hope you had a kick ass weekend. Mine
was solid, and restful... just what I needed. When's
good for you to grab that bite this week? Let me know
when your schedule's clear and let's set it up.'

but that's presuming the girl replied to the icebreaker..what do i text a girl two days after sending the icebreaker if she hasn't replied?

And is it necessary to ask her out in one and the very first message itself as in the example above?

btw i proposed the dates before getting the nos.

any help would be appreciated. merci.

Um, not emotionally invested or anything here
and i'd also really like to know what to do in such situations if it happens in the future again. please don't give the same response everywhere. ^

If a girl didn't respond to your initial text that you sent to her after you get her number then you're probably out of luck and need to forget her. I've tried lots of different things but I've never been able to get a girl to reply if she doesn't respond to my initial text. That's because your interactions still need work , and or your fundamentals didn't make an impact on her, I rarely think its your actual texting.Though even with good fundamentals and using techniques to test if she likes you , there are still girls that simply won't like you because you aren't her "type".

Try to work on being able to tell whether a girl is being polite when she talks to you or she thinks you're attractive. Good signs include really strong eye contact , excited smile , maybe nervousness depending on the girl and she won't try to leave later in the interaction. She also might squeeze your hand when you shake it and playing with her hair. You can also test for compliance (ask her to do things) and if she qualifies herself to you that's a good sign as well. There articles on the main site about all these things. But again nothing is 100%. Just try to only close girls that comply with requests and qualify themselves try not to close until you've tested for that. What I like to do is send a girl my name right after we meet (say to her you're sending her your name when you close) and if she replies you've got yourself a decent number , it also saves you time afterwards when you go to text her because you know the number was solid so you don't waste mental energy on the girl later because you'll be too busy approaching other girls to wait for a reply.

However if you really do want to give it a go , just send her the same text whether she replies or not to the icebreaker just be like Hey girlsname , lets go for that coffee. If that doesn't work definitely next her. There isn't a magic text message that will make her like you , she has to like you and be keen during the interaction , pickup is all about momentum.

From my experience its fairly simple. She either answers within reasonable time or not.
If that super hot girl writes you a message you dont let her wait like 3 days until you respond with "Uhm, yeah thats cool"...
Same is true for girls. Try to leave a better "impression" next time. Dont leave immediately after receiving her number. If u want her number
do it on a high note stating something like "we should definitely do ... together". So can connect to this later on.

I had one exception when i asked a girl for her number and she said "no". Next day her friend calls me to give me her number saying i should call her.
That was kinda weird but i had to suddenly leave the venue so I guess she just felt like she "lost me".

Chase had an article on texting to get dates. But honestly for me it was always like she either responded quick (didnt matter what i wrote) or she just
didnt respond at all. Still worth looking at those articles:

Skid,

I honestly don't remember much about the interactions. One thing I do remember is that the second interaction was a bit too long. 20 mins or so..

I would say my fundamentals are okay'ish. Eye contact and physique are two things im working on now. Voice is something I'll have to make some time for.
I'm fairly new to all this so getting down everything will take some time. I'll remember to ask for compliance next time.

Radeng,

the first one sent a 'hey :) ' before i sent the second text but hasn't replied when i tried to set up the date.

The second girl replied to the icebreaker and the second text together.
Have set up a date for next weekend since this week is full of exams. Don't know whether it will materialize or not. let's see..

Btw that call back humor thing is nice..gotta try it out sometime :)
 
a good date brings a smile to your lips... and hers

Metalus,

Luckily, despite this being one of my first few interactions I remembered to propose the date on a high note and not leave after getting the number.

Yeah, read those long back but I'll give them a read again.
