Guys,
This blog came up in my newsfeed today:
http://www.innerconfidence.com/7-text-m ... r-send-me/
Ok, I'd love if some of the guys like Franco or Chase had an opinion on this type of thing.
When I read something like this I absolutely despair. Reading some of the things in there make me cringe. Ok, so there's a few obvious points, don't be needy, boring, etc... don't be a creep...
But some stuff like... you don't have an iPhone? I mean, given some of the things were spot on but by the time I reached the end of the list I was like.... WOW... so basically... do not text this girl AT ALL!?!? It's almost like NOTHING works for her.
Is it REALLY this difficult? Are ALL girls REALLY like this.
I re-iterate that I'm from Ireland and found dating baffling when I arrived here... like people don't "date" there as much. You are either seeing someone or you're not. You're not expecting her to be banging 5 other guys if you are banging her. It's not the norm there.
But here? I admit... I've probably made some of these mistakes, plenty of them infact... but the whole thing is such a game of cat and mouse that I feel I don't even have the energy for sometimes.
For example... I'm texting 2 girls right now that I'm into... so it's like... text her to make her interested, but don't text her to make her lose interest. Text her something funny but don't be funny by text because it doesn't come off as funny as it sounded in your head. Don't text from your Android (the most used phone around!?!), Do drop $500 on an iPhone I don't want and this girl will text me back? Don't hit her up casually but don't be creepy setting weirdo date plans.
It's just every so often I read something like this and it blows up my beliefs. I don't even get it. To me this girl is cute but not a 10, not even close... and her FB linked pics are nowhere even near as hot as the one used in the blog. I mean, if I met this girl, I'd go... "Cute, but... hmm.. maybe if it's not too much trouble..." but this girl has a rotation 5 guys deep? Am I seriously loosing my mind here reading this? By the end of reading this article I would not touch her with a barge-pole... her attitude totally turns me off yet it's what so many girls display when they perceive themself as hot.
Sorry rant over... but it's just baffling to me. With the girls I am texting right now and before... I can see from her post where I may have lost them in the past, but it's almost like ANYTHING I could say is lame. I don't even get it....
