Hello Everyone,

Watching Hector's last video about when the girl sends an Emoji as an answer, another interrogation game to my mind which is :

What to do/answer when you message a girl whether via text, WhatsApp or FB( I do social circle and warm approach) and she either leave a "Seen" to our message or the message is left "Unread" (I put unread between"" in the sense that we can read a message from someone especially on facebook without triggering the "seen" and that really no one, in reality, don't read it's messages).

I am asking this for new girls but also girls from the extended social circle that already know me, either as a first message or when this happens in the middle of a conversation that seemed to go well (or not).

Until now, I have dealt with the problem improvising but I don't have any real blueprint. Some thjngs I tried:
1.Sympatic call out:
Her: Seen
Me: You ... You Seened Me (emoji of astonishment)
Me: Emjio crying

2.Re-engaging like nothing happened:
Here I just re-ping the girl and re-strat the conversation like normal

The thing is that even if both of these worked for me in the past we all know that not answering and "seeing" without re-engaging someone is a disrespectful attitude.' I feel like when I do it I'm accepting a "disrespectful" attitude of the girl toward me, and she will sense it as well.

But maybe I'am getting this all wrong and would love to hear your suggestions.

Thank You

Hey Witcher, there's a few things that might help you out in this situation. The first one I'll highlight is a post in the text forum to a video *Don't persist when she's playing games* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzmzfDm7Cog
and the second is a post about a check in text: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=65
other reference material would be the article on abundance mentality and just about everything that on GC that covers why a girl hasn't responded to a message.

This situation opens up a worm hole, which there isn't an easy answer to fix because every situation is different. Generally carrying on as normal or accepting the blame yourself will shine an elegant social light on you and can make the girl think she's misjudged you. The dilemma with this is that you also show you're persisting through a game and that you'll accept that behavior. The alternative is you sit and wait it out; which is where abundance mentality comes in. If you've got a lot of other options, she doesn't bother you in the slightest. It also gives you a chance to put in a check in message a few weeks later if you've got nothing on.

Utilizing the check in text might be to much for the situation, and a quick message a few days later of 'Hey [girls name] I've been really busy lately, hope you finally got sorted with [X], how's the week looking for you?' as a quick little message accepting the blame, showing interest in what she was doing and asking when she's available to plan a date. Its not always successful, but neither is ignoring them. Sometimes you can only play the best hand you've got and it doesn't guarantee results.

As the guy you're meant to lead, and sometimes girls need the encouragement to engage. There's an article on texting that explains they can get nervous about texting you to and carrying on as normal or accepting the blame can encourage them to reply. If they're in social circle they're typically more likely to engage because they don't know when they'll see you again but 'unread' messages gives them all plausible deniability; where reading and not responding is disrespectful however if the interaction was going nowhere its saved you time and effort.

Bottom line, decide whether or not its important to you. If you're offended by them ignoring the message, ignore them back to show you don't accept that behavior. You're not guaranteed what you want but your pride is important. If you're not, re engage and see what happens. Invite them somewhere! it could be another opportunity.

Persistence can work at times, and sometimes you were barking up the wrong tree anyway!
