Hey guys, so gonna call on the PWF community for a bit of advice with this one... This is one of my better text exchanges (for better or worse). Sure, I think looking back it's maybe a little too gamey and there could have been different decisions made in parts of this but fundamentally this is a decent looking chick and she's showing decent compliance for a good 85% of this... That said, it was close but no cigar...yet. Hence the problem. I can't decide based on where we're at right now whether to re-engage in a few days in some way, shape or form or whether just to leave it at that as her last message was a bit of a "fuck you"...maybe you'll disagree but that's definitely how it read at the time particularly with those damn full-stops! Just to say also, if I was critiquing myself - as I said before, a bit over gamey + wish I hadn't entertained the whole Valentines shite + last few texts were a bit suboptimal. But yeah, so a few questions: Should I re-engage (like 3 days after the last text) or just leave it? If yes, re-engage - what is the re-engagement? Further takeaway or simply restarting the convo (I'd say latter) How do I re-establish compliance? Cheers guys!

She's a feisty one but I don't think you're out of the race yet. There was way too much back and forth and I think you should've tried to number close earlier in the convo. She seemed pretty compliant despite the gamey and long texts but I think she'll lose interest (if she hasn't already) if you don't soft close an actual date soon. Your style of texting is way different than mine so I don't really have a concrete suggestion on what to say but I think you should re-engage in a few days, restart the convo, soft close, number close, then plan the date through text.

Agreed on the number thing and there were a few opportunities to do it, but in the moment I was trying to think about the war rather than the battle so it was always going to be the next text after the one I actually sent.
But okay, that's a vote for re-engage. I think simply wait a few days then literally restart the conversation with a standard opener or a meme. Not sure a call out really works here, the best one would probably be "Are you always this difficult to make plans with?" but that arguably should have been the last text! I'm realising that last text blew...hard and is possibly doubly-bad as the way I said it with the " :( " made it look like I was actually sad. Anyway, I've only made life difficult for myself because the very act of re-engaging now will come across as needy and I need to build comfort AND re-establish some lost value.
So yeah, short and sweet 'Yo sexy' or something similar or a meme, I think.
But thanks for your feedback bro!
