https://forums.playingfire.com/posts/overinvested-how-to-follow-up So this is a follow up to the above thread. The girl was a bit slow to respond but ultimately I got the number and soft closed for drinks. Once we switched to text she ghosted on two close attempts. She was insta replying to my messages so maybe my last message about where she was from wasn’t necessary, could have just suggested the meet instead. The plan was to close in the text after that one but she didn’t reply. For some reason my phone deleted two messages. After her text about having work due Monday I said ahh sounds stressful what are you studying. She said biotechnology and pharmaceutical engineering. Then I said the artsy line. Thoughts?

maybe, she's just busy this weekend. you can just say "alright, how's next friday or saturday"

So we went out this past Wednesday. Started at a bar in my apt complex, then went to my place. Unfortunately was not able to close, only make out for a bit
Anything I should have done differently on the follow up here? Watched your 2nd date vid a few times (unfortunately after the convo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gATOcJ36KTk. Most of my replies are just callback humor/references. I think her “busy” reply for this weekend seems genuine, when we made plans she mentioned she was busy this weekend, which is why we met up on Wednesday. Just reingage in a few days seem fine?

Yea, your assessment is correct. She didnt even say she was busy, she just said she has a lot of work.. or even that those are the only plans she has. At this point, you just need to start moving towards the next meet up. Like, after she said "for sure".. id ask for her schedule.. you could still do something similar by saying "what evenings are you free next"
