We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

20/2+5=15, that's a bit creepy. Maybe it should 1/3+9 to be universally applicable. 18: 15 21: 16 30: 19 45: 24 60: 29 Works perfectly. | ||

I agree... that's a stretch imo. I'm fine with the standard "halve your age, then add seven" procedure. | ||

Met this person over a dating site. (yea..yea..) Really nice person, talked for what? 2 weeks on a daily basis via texting? Anyway, asked her out, she seemed elated however she designated that she was too busy, but wanting to meet up as soon as her schedule freed up. Anywho, fast forward, a week, I have dropped two messages with a simple hi, no longer been receiving messages. Signs are quite awfully mixing since the person seemed to have no issues prior, always seem to be quite content but have suddenly gone cold. So should I interpret this as sudden disinterest and drop her or wait it out? | ||

If she hasn't responded, she probably lost interest, or since you met on a dating site, it's likely she was messaging a couple guys at once and just picked one without telling the others. That's what I see as the most likely case. Everything else doesnt seem to make sense to me. So if that is possibly the case, I guess it's just best to turn a blind eye or be upfront and confront so you know exactly what's happening? | ||

if she responds to your messages, she think you are cute. if you are texting regularly, she thinks you are interesting. why would wait two weeks of that before asking to meet up? | ||

Had work, schedule kept conflicting (its just extremely unfortunate it happened inbetween times where I was occupied nearly every day) Now her schedule were conflicting shortly before it happened. Its terrible timing, however I'm unsure really how to react on this. | ||

just dont go that long next time, even if you are busy. like never more than 2-3 days of steady convo. just say it up front: hey, i would like to meet up but i am a bit busy with work this week. what about a quick coffee or a drink just to meet in person when i get out on *whenever*. the sooner you meet in person, the sooner you prove that you are a) not 4 inches shorter and 50lbs heavier than your pictures and b) that you are still able to be interesting and fun thinking on your feet when you don't have the ability to think for about an emailed response i would just stop texting her. you never know, she might go on a few dates with whomever she is seeing and not like it and give you another shot. | ||

That is correct. Thought it was longer for some reason but it's two weeks. I suppose I should, what you said makes sense. You dont advocate for the upfront approach I take it? Indeed, that could happen, shes always been telling me how much of a direct person she is and how blunt she is about everything and then to suddenly stand in silence, I dont know what to think. | ||

just always try to meet quickly. texting/emailing is really not much more than making sure you're not noticably crazy. you wont build much chemistry until you meet in person. that, and you should assume the person contacting you has other options and isnt gonna wait around forever | ||
