I keep finding myself in situations where I lose compliance by being too unnecessarily gamey. You mentioned in the April Mastermind Breakdown video that you try to put yourself in the girl's shoes and try to understand what they're thinking when they read your texts. How can I train myself to do this to be more calibrated in the future? The problem I have right now is that some girls respond well to these so-called "cringe" lines where as others will ghost like the interaction below. I've numbered the screenshots and jotted down my thoughts on what I said. It'd be great if you could suggest alternatives and/or what you think the girl was thinking at the time she was texting me. Is this line redundant because she already qualified earlier? She didn't respond and I had to reopen her. I feel like it was forcing her to carrying the convo and be witty. She probably wasn't in the mood and gave up. If I use the word "romantic" then it makes it gamey and if I don't then I sound boring. I'm torn between these two options. If I say the former then girls was almost always ask something like: "What's romantic to you?". This leads to more of a flirty frame, but also potentially unnecessary over-gaming. Was this the right time to bait and make her qualify again like this? The condition I mentioned references the love language on her profile which was "pig latin". I tend to do this a lot mid-convo. I call-back facts and things I read on a girl's profile. Is this showing the girl the right kind of interest (that I'm paying attention to things she shared) or putting her off by over-investing? I absolutely hate this line, but I don't know of an alternative right now. Not sure whether I should be sarcastic here in this context e.g. include stuff like "hot air balloons, cheese platters, violinist" or cut down the line to "You and me splitting a bottle of wine in a chill spot with a nice view".
